Why Has Scientology So Often Been In Court?

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

The Church has gone to court in many countries to uphold the right to freedom of religion. In Australia, as but one example, legal actions by the Church led to a landmark victory for religious freedom in general. In the United States, the Church employed the Freedom of Information Act to obtain documents vital to the public interest and to hold government agencies accountable. In certain cases, the Church has used the courts to protect its copyrighted materials, or to safeguard... Read more

Do Scientologists Believe they are Descended from Aliens?

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

Absolutely not. Scientology holds no such belief. Any suggestion otherwise is as absurd as asserting that those of the Christian faith believe themselves descended from aliens because they believe there is a Heaven. Some of the information one finds on the Internet concerning Scientology religious beliefs is a mixture of misstatements, distortions and outright lies designed to twist Scientology theology. These scurrilous statements, issued by the “Internet fringe,” are not only patently untrue, they are intentionally designed to ridicule Scientologists... Read more

Why is Everything Copyrighted and Trademarked in Scientology?

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

Every great religion wishes they possessed the written and spoken words of their founder. As Scientology was born in a modern age, the founder’s writings and recordings are extant and verifiable. Hence, the Church has been able to preserve L. Ron Hubbard’s legacy and ensure the religion remains pure to his original teachings for all time. It was Mr. Hubbard’s intent that the scriptures of Scientology not only remain unadulterated, but that they always remain within the purview of the Church. Moreover, as... Read more

Overcoming the Stress of a Traumatic C-Section

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

I had a pretty traumatic emergency C-Section nearly three years ago when my daughter was born. Since then, I’ve had an immense amount of pent-up emotion and upset connected to that operation. Even after several years, I would constantly find myself still very much caught up in that incident. Not a day went by that I did not mull things over in my head, thinking of alternate endings, of what I should have could have done to change it, etc.... Read more

Happy Juneteenth!

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

According to the Juneteenth website: “Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free.” What is truly shocking, and something I only learned about a few years ago, is that there are actually more slaves today than...

Un-Making Old Descisions

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

“You make New Year’s resolutions. And you make them into the teeth of old resolutions which were different. Then you don’t keep your new resolutions and you tell yourself you are weak-willed. You aren’t weak-willed. You are simply obeying yourself as of yesterday.” — L. Ron Hubbard (Handbook for Preclearsp.265) When did you first make a decision to be a good parent? I came across that quote while on studying the book Handbook for Preclears at my local church. It was... Read more
