If I Disagree with Someone’s Religion, Why Should I Study It?

Every religion I know of celebrates the good and kind in ourselves and our neighbors. Religions celebrate who we really are.

Scientology: What’s in a Name?

Ron was discussing methods of determining sanity. He described sanity in a number of ways but the simplest was noting the individual’s ability to compute—think—accurately. The word that got me was “accurately.”

Me, Before and After Scientology

Scientology has given me the key to embracing life as an exciting adventure, not something to endure or hide from. Priceless.

Why Is Scientology Treated “Unfairly?”

Cultures change slowly. I was born in 1945.
