Applying Scientology as a Parent to Two Active Boys

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:13 am By treeves

Me and my little one on the playground I wanted to share a bit of what my experiences have been in applying Scientology as a parent.

Rededication of the Church of Scientology

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:13 am By scientologyb

This past Saturday I was invited to sit in on an event that non-members rarely get a chance to observe. It was the rededication of the 41,000 square foot Church of Scientology. The Beaux Arts building was constructed in 1898 and was significantly restored back in 2003 by Foit-Albert and Associates. Since that time, the church has looked nothing short of glorious, although throughout this year a substantial amount of work has been underway in non-stop preparation for the rededication that...

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:13 am By rdahlquist

The United States was conceived on the basic principle that all Men are created equal and are deserving or the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This, in the 18th century, was a precedent that transformed most of the world over the next two hundred years. Although not perfect in application, the basic principle remains one which allows the greatest freedom and survival to the individual and the group. Here is a selection from The Way to Happiness...
