What is it Like in a Church of Scientology?

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

Scientology Churches are unique–not like other churches. We are a 24/7/360 church. In other words, we are open 7 days a week year round. The challenge of trying to describe what a Scientology Church is really like resulted in a video that shows rather than telling. I am posting it hear for anyone interested in finding out. Going to a Scientology Church and touring the Public Information Center is a great way to understand the tremendous breadth of the religion, its services... Read more

The Way to Happiness Book on Film

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

Several years ago, the Church of Scientology published a very special version of The Way to Happiness–a feature-length book-on-film. This is the unabridged text of The Way to Happiness, beautifully portrayed in film. The Way to Happiness is a nonreligious moral code. In other words, people of any faith or no faith at all may read it and use it and improve their own lives and the lives of others. The precepts are very simple–deceptively so. It is, after all, common... Read more

Scientology: Personal Integrity

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

One of my favorite L. Ron Hubbard essays, contained in the book Scientology: A New Slant on Life, is “Personal Integrity.” PERSONAL INTEGRITY BY L. RON HUBBARD What is true for you is what you have observed yourself. And when you lose that, you have lost everything. What is personal integrity? Personal integrity is knowing what you know.What you know is what you know and to have the courage to know and say what you have observed. And that is integrity and there... Read more

Scientology: The Three Parts of Man

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

L. Ron Hubbard observed many, many people using Dianetics and found a commonality of experience and phenomena. After carefully reviewing all relevant research data, he isolated the answer: Man was neither his body nor his mind, but a spiritual being. This was the source of all that is good, decent and creative in the world: the individual being himself. With this discovery, L. Ron Hubbard founded the religion of Scientology, for he had moved firmly into the field traditionally belonging to religion—the realm of... Read more

A Scientologist Weighs in on the Challenges of Being a Parent

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

I wanted to share this article by Scientologist David Aden on his views on being a parent. Anyone who has been a parent for more than five minutes knows that it is an ongoing balancing act. Am I too strict or not strict enough? Should I try to protect them from every little fall or let them learn themselves? Do I expect too little from my children or am I demanding too much? That kind of ambiguity is built into the... Read more

Religious Influence in Society

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

This article by L. Ron Hubbard launched the Scientology Volunteer Minister program in the mid-1970s. Declining church membership demonstrates his views on religion are even more pertinent today. We are today at a watershed of history and our actions today will decide whether the world goes up from here or continues to slide into some new dark age. It is important to understand bad conditions don’t just happen. The cultural decay we see around us isn’t haphazard. It was caused. Unless... Read more

Scientologists Shares Story of Daughter’s Naming Ceremony

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

A Scientologist shared the naming ceremony of her daughter Layana on the Scientology Parent website. The naming ceremony, as it is performed, is unique to the Scientology religion. “The purpose of the ceremony is not only to welcome the baby into her family and into her community,” she wrote, “but also to publicly delineate the roles of the parents and god-parents for all to witness.” “I decided to do it at my local Church in Clearwater because, as a venue,...
