The “Scientology Parent,” Tad Reeves blogs about stress and how it can affect every aspect of one’s life. One thing that gets overlooked all too often, is the inextricable interrelationship between one’s relative level of success and stress at work, and how it affects one’s ability to be a good parent and to run a happy household.

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:05 am By ScientologyBeliefs

In the following article on the STAND (Scientologists Taking Action Against Discrimination) website Scientologist Roger Clark presents his theory on attempted stigmatization of Scientologists and other religions. Most people are born good. Most people are born with an innate sense of decency, a good concept of justice, and an inborn understanding of right and wrong. One of the first things you’ll hear out of a child’s mouth is “It’s not fair.” Nobody has to teach them of the principle of... Read more

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:05 am By ScientologyBeliefs

Scientologist presents his perspective on fake news created to generate bigotry against the Church of Scientology. Published courtesy of the STAND website. One thing I have to admire is the level of integrity in an organization that will kick someone out, knowing full well that in doing so, it may blow up right in its face.
