A blog by Wil Seabrook, originally posted on the website of  STAND (Scientologists Taking Action Against Discrimination) One statement I see made in the media that I find especially frustrating is that Scientologists don’t “believe” in mental illness. It’s such a misinformed generality that it’s hard to know where to start. The implication is that a Scientologist, when confronted with someone hearing voices, seeing things that aren’t there, or exhibiting other extreme behavior, would simply refuse to admit there was anything... Read more

Reprinted courtesy of STAND (Scientologists Taking Action Against Discrimination, author May Livingston In our family, we have a tradition, like many other households we know, of setting goals for the new year. We save them for the next year, to compare back and check off as we reach our milestones. We have a very high success rate, too! Granted, sometimes the bar isn’t set very high, like the year my son said that his primary objective for the next 12 months was... Read more

Scientologist T. Riggs Eckelberry’s blog on the “Self-Evident Truth of Scientology,” republished courtesy of the STAND website (Scientologists Taking Action Against Discrimination).  “All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.”—Arthur Schopenhauer At one time, Scientology was so new that if you told people you were a member, they looked at you oddly and were very careful what they said. Sometimes, they would ask, “but that was a long... Read more

Reprinted courtesy of STAND (Scientologists Taking Action Against Discrimination) Ok, admittedly, that title is somewhat deceiving—I am a happily married heterosexual woman. But here’s the thing: the press has been smearing my religion with such abandon for so long now that, as a Scientologist, telling people about my religious “orientation” has felt at times like coming out. I have been a Scientologist all my life, but some of my friends didn’t know about it until recently. That’s because I live in a... Read more

No one is expected to “believe” anything in Scientology, writes STAND blogger Rodger Clarke: Published courtesy of STAND (Scientologists Taking Action Against Discrimination) Recently, I’ve found myself fielding numerous questions about what Scientologists “believe,” so I’m going to address the subject of belief in Scientology in a way you’re probably not expecting. Bear with me. First of all, no one is expected to “believe” anything in Scientology. They’re encouraged to examine it, use it and evaluate it. They’re encouraged to compare before-and-after... Read more
