The State of A Society and a Faith in God

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:17 am By gsdouglas

I’m currently studying the book Science of Survival by L. Ron Hubbard. The book covers the emotional Tone Scale, a scale which shows the successive emotions a person can experience. The emotions are arranged on the scale in an order that represents better and better potential for success and survival. For example, fear, grief and apathy are low on the scale and indicate that potential survival is poor for a person chronically in those emotional states, whereas enthusiasm and strong interest are emotional...

How Does Scientology View the Practice of Medicine?

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:17 am By scientologyb

Scientologists seek conventional medical treatment for illnesses and injuries. Scientologists use prescription drugs when physically ill and also rely on the advice and treatment of physicians. The Church of Scientology has always had the firm policy of not diagnosing or treating the sick. Medical doctors are trained to deal with the physical aspects of illness and injury. A Scientologist with a physical condition is advised to seek and obtain the needed examination and treatment of a qualified medical professional. Independent... Read more

In Tribute to Nobel Laureate Wangari Maathai

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:17 am By rdahlquist

A woman of great conviction, courage and vision, Wangari Maathai passed away today. The first woman in East and Central Africa to earn a doctoral degree, she went on to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize–the first ever awarded to an environmentalist and the first African woman Nobel Laureate. Achim Steiner, director of the UN Environment Programme, described her as a force of nature. “While others deployed their power and life force to damage, degrade and extract short term profit...

Hard-hitting song exposes child drugging

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:17 am By rdahlquist

CCHR (Citizens Commission on Human Rights) teamed up with Hip Hop/Rap artist Chill EB to produce this video. For many years I have been a strong advocate of CCHR and their work to expose psychiatric/Big Pharma collusion to redefine life as a disorder and to drug our children into their definition of “better.” Finally, a song that really presents the truth as it really is.

September–Disaster Preparedness Month

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:17 am By rdahlquist

In August, President Obama declared September National Disaster Month. It is appropriate in light of September 11, which will long live in history as the nations most infamous disaster. September is also a month when hurricanes strike the South and the Gulf Coast and wildfires engulf California (and Texas this year). The volunteer response to 9/11 was immediate and intense. But only a few years late, with Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005, I believe America woke up to the... Read more

How Does Scientology View the Individual?

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:17 am By scientologyb

Scientology holds that there are three parts to Man: First there is the body itself. The body is the organized physical composition or substance of Man, whether living or dead. It is not the being himself. Next, there is the mind, which consists essentially of pictures. Finally, and most importantly, there is the thetan. The thetan is not a thing. It is the creator of things. Of the three parts of Man, the thetan is, obviously, most important. Without the... Read more

WHAT ARE FIELD MINISTRIES AND SCIENTOLOGY RELIGIOUS GROUPS?

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:17 am By scientologyb
