Church of Scientology of Washington D.C., Academy Signage, originally uploaded by tadnkat. Probably one of my favorite parts about the Scientology religion is that one of the main practices of the religion itself involves one simply studying the basic texts of the religion, and working out for oneself how it applies to one’s life. I never know what it is I’m going to get out of it when I sit down and study. Last night, it led me to this article which I... Read more

Here is an interesting posting from Lauren’s blog. In life you are usually faced with two decisions when dealing with other people that you disagree with or have some problem with. 1. One to sit on your feelings and continue to feel that way. 2. To talk to the person and deal with them in an upfront manner, despite what your inner voice is telling you to do. What I am about to say is what I suggest that you... Read more
Here was a great blog posting from ED’s blog: I found Growing up in an agnostic household, I considered Easter to be a minor holiday. It sufficed as an excuse to eat candy and go to grandma’s for dinner, but it was otherwise unremarkable. The Easter bunny was a Santa wannabe – perhaps an apprentice to Santa, who was the head holiday honcho. Make no mistake, I still thought Easter was great. Any holiday in which the lead role was...

One of the most difficult things to explain to someone about how Dianetics and Scientology changes your life is about things that don’t bother you anymore; about irrational thoughts and reactions that you don’t have anymore. Why are Scientologists so zealous about wanting other people to become Scientologists? Because they have personally experienced these changes and they know within themselves how much more fun life is without negative thoughts and irrational reactions holding them back. But other people might not... Read more

I’m doing some training at the Church and thought folks might like to know what it’s like. Training is where we learn Scientology principles–in courses of various lengths–and where we learn to apply it to others and ourselves. Right now I’m on a fairly intense course on communication. I really didn’t expect to get as much out of it as I have already. Before I started I was feeling a bit grumpy about people. Weeks into the course I found myself... Read more
In cities around the world today, Scientologists organize or participate in round tables, petition drives, seminars and marches in support of the United Nations International Day against Racial Discrimination.

The first article of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights affirms: “All human beings are born free and equal in... Read more
I found this press release and thought the information could shed some light on the practical application of Scientology to the kinds of things each of us face in our lives. At the Nashville Church of Scientology, it is routine to see parishioners studying in classrooms, discovering tools to help them in various areas of life—such as learning moral values, how to better communicate, how to improve relationships and so forth—but what you don’t always hear are the incredible success...
