Facing Discrimination and its Consequences

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

This blog, originally posted on the STAND (Scientologists Taking Action Against Discrimination) website so aptly covers the choices one has to make in a climate of religious discrimination. To Share or Not to Share, That is the Question When my husband and I eloped nearly 28 years ago, we had no idea what we were doing. But we were so distracted by the butterflies running amuck in our bellies that it didn’t even matter. At 18 years old, we knew... Read more

Fake News vs. the Real Story About Scientology

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

A case study of discrimination and Fake News and how media deliberately skew the way they research Scientology. Blogger Siouxie Boshoff published her views on the Stand (Scientologists Taking Action Against Discrimination) website today that points out the ludicrous media coverage on the Church of Scientology: If I Were to Tell the Story of You Pretend for a moment that I am a journalist.

Confession, Religion and Peace

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

This entry, courtesy of the STAND website Have you ever gotten something off your chest and felt the relief? I’m talking about an act you committed, large or small, that was eating away at you, leaving you all balled up in regret and guilt. Were you able to tell that to someone—maybe a loving parent or a trusted friend—without any serious judgment or retribution? Even if there was some blowback, can you recall that moment of relief you experienced just... Read more

The First Amendment and Freedom of Speech and Expression

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

This blog was originally posted on StandLeague.org THE FIRST AMENDMENT I’ve studied the Constitution of the United States more than once and I love what our founders put in place for future generations. The First Amendment is a particular favorite of mine: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the...

World Health Day 2017–Vital Data on Depression

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

It is vital for anyone concerned about depression to watch The Marketing of Madness—Are We All Insane, a documentary produced by Citizens Commission on Human Rights. As the film begins, “There is no denying the psychological and emotional problems, even severe mental distress, can affect most anyone. But does this mean we are all insane?” This film exposes the unholy alliance between psychiatry and the pharmaceutical industry and the insidious way that the general public has been sold on the “need” to...
