“Scientology Parent” Tad Reeves on his Family Trip to Flag–Spiritual Headquarters of the Church of Scientology

Last updated on: February 14, 2018 at 3:41 pm By ScientologyBeliefs

This winter I took a trip to Clearwater, Florida, with my family to take Scientology services at the spiritual headquarters of the Scientology religion, known as the Flag Service Organization or simply “Flag.” I wanted to tell you a bit about the trip itself, as I think it should add a bit of color and insight into the life of a Scientology family. I’d previously described the trip that we took to Los Angeles so that my wife could partake in Scientology services there. ... Read more

On Prayer, and Whether it Still Has a Place in Public Meetings

Last updated on: February 10, 2018 at 3:33 pm By ScientologyBeliefs

Scientologist Wil Seabrook shares his thoughts on a recent city council meeting banning prayer from public meetings, published courtesy of STAND, Scientologists Taking Action Against Discrimination. I don’t believe in God the way many of my Christian, Jewish and Muslim friends do. And of course, their beliefs, while having many fundamentals in common, are as unique as each individual. Religion was on my mind as I recently worked with a music producer in Nashville who is a devout Christian. If... Read more

On Peace, Ethics and the Real Meaning of the First Amendment

Last updated on: February 1, 2018 at 1:27 pm By ScientologyBeliefs

Scientologist Rodger Clark looks at the underlying purpose of the First Amendment separation of church and state clause, the common goals of religion and government and why ethics and morals are the basis of civilized society. The article is published with the permission of STAND, Scientologists Taking Action Against Discrimination. The line in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution has been nearly beaten meaningless by repetition: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” This line...

My Daughter and My Whole Purpose as a Scientology Parent

How a statement by a young girl completely blew her father away. Published courtesy of STAND: Scientologists Taking Action Against Discrimination I spend a lot of time outdoors with my kids. Some might say too much. But while there are a lot of lessons one can learn about life at school or from books, I’ve found there are just as many lessons you can get just from exploring the world around you.

Scientologist Finds Holes in a Recent Religious “Study”

Last updated on: January 17, 2018 at 9:52 pm By ScientologyBeliefs

Scientologist Rodger Clark takes on Academia in his review of a recent religious study (and its news coverage). Published courtesy of STAND, Scientologists Taking Action Against Discrimination. It must have been another slow news day in Britain because Will Kirby of the Express decided to do a story on a “landmark study” by Coventry and Oxford Universities. Through observation of Christian pilgrims in Spain, they concluded that religious people are not “born believers.” That, instead, “it is now thought that factors... Read more

Scientologist Leland Thoburn on his reaction when he sees Scientology libeled in the media, published courtesy of STAND: Scientologists Taking Action Against Discrimination My mother died when I was 26. At her funeral, she looked like a second-rate wax museum replica. She was all there, but she wasn’t. Something enormous was missing. I hardly recognized her. Her personality was missing. “Science” (those quotes are the literary equivalent of a sarcastic smirk) would have us believe that death is simply the... Read more
