Ron Hubbard in the mid 1970s, the Volunteer Minister (VM) program was designed to provide practical Scientology tools and indiscriminate help wherever needed in an often cynical and cruel world.

A Scientologist for 28 years, she is asked how she handles the criticism of the religion. “Well, I’ve been a Scientologist for 28 years and that’s a huge part of what helps us keep our communication going and our relationship,” said Elfman, who shares two children — sons Story, 11, and Easton, 8 — with husband Bodhi Elfman, to whom she has been married since 1995. “We’ve never cheated on each other, we’ve never...

What is Hate? A Scientologist’s Perspective

Last updated on: September 20, 2018 at 1:53 pm By ScientologyBeliefs

Scientologist John Evans on hate (and how to avoid being duped by those who spread it), published on the STAND (Scientologists Taking Action Against Discrimination) website. The Definition of Hate “Jews will not replace us!” shout the torch-bearing bigots in Charlottesville. “Yes, I hate Islam,” posts the state legislator on social media. “I hate you!” screams the wronged five-year-old to his Mom when she refuses him a second ice cream cone. So what is hate, anyway? A quick look in... Read more

Last updated on: September 20, 2018 at 1:47 pm By ScientologyBeliefs

Scientologist Hans Eisenman on the belief that one lives again–the immortality of the spirit–and how the choices one makes today affects one’s survival and happiness in the future. Published on the STAND (Scientologists Taking Action Against Discrimination) website. One Thing You (Few) Haters Don’t Know About Us Hey haters! I know you tend to think you’re pretty sharp.

Me, Before and After Scientology

Last updated on: September 20, 2018 at 1:39 pm By ScientologyBeliefs

In “Me, Before and After Scientology,” STAND (Scientologists Taking Action Against Discrimination) member Tina Phillips writes about Scientology and how it transformed her life. This is my first blog post for STAND and I am proud to call myself a member. If you’re like me, you get sucked into “Before and After” pictures and stories.

Scientology Beliefs: The Eight Dynamics Of Life

Last updated on: September 20, 2018 at 1:31 pm By ScientologyBeliefs

The Eight Dynamics of life (from the Scientology website) Because the fundamentals upon which Scientology rests embrace all aspects of life, certain key principles can be broadly employed to improve any condition. Scientologists use these principles in their daily lives and their use alone can often make the difference between success and failure. Moreover, the principles greatly clarify what is so often confusing and bewildering. Suppose, for example, life could be correctly compartmentalized so that its many activities, often confused and...

What Do Scientologists Believe?

Last updated on: September 6, 2018 at 1:31 pm By ScientologyBeliefs

In a blog published on STAND (Scientologists Taking Action Against Discrimination) Scientologist Jim Kalergis talks about Scientology not being a “belief system” but rather an applied religious philosophy—it’s about what people do. Over the years I’ve noticed that professional bigots, in their efforts to discredit Scientology, sometimes hold supposed “secret beliefs” of the Church up to ridicule. Actually, anyone interested in Scientology beliefs can read them in the Creed of the Church of Scientology. There’s not much shock value there. Take a... Read more
