On one expedition, he made the first mineralogical survey of Puerto Rico. During the 1930's, he became a famous author. Although he was known mostly for his science fiction, he also worked in other genres including mystery, western and adventure. He was also successful as a screen writer. His lifetime output of published fiction was over 200 novels, novelettes and short stories. In 1938, in an unpublished manuscript

THIRD ANNUAL CLEARWATER FLORIDA Contact list: Local Clearwater contact email: December97@juno.com Arnie Lerma alerma@bellatlantic.net Jeff Jacobsen cultxpt@primenet.com The third annual peaceful demonstration against the Scientology will be held in Clearwater Florida this December 5 and 6, 1997. Clearwater is the spiritual world headquarters of Scientology. About 30 protesters came from around the United States and from the Clearwater area last March to protest Scientology's harsh treatment of its critics and its own members. There were other protests around the world as well, mostly organized on the internet. Critics point out the harmful and dangerous practices of the church, their exorbitant and aggressive monetary requirements, their policy of attacking anyone they consider an "enemy", and their own incarceration of members deemed problematic to the church. Lisa McPherson, a 36 year old Scientologist, died December 5, 1995 at Scientology's Ft. Harrison Hotel in downtown Clearwater. After a 17 day stay while under the care of fellow Scientologists, Lisa lost approximately 40 pounds, had scabs and bruises all over her body, was severely dehydrated and was pronounced dead on arrival at a hospital many miles from the hotel but with a Scientologist doctor on duty. "We don't want the church's quack medical practices killing anyone else," said demonstrator Jeff Jacobsen. "We want the church to renounce their practices of incarceration and to stop hurting people both inside and outside their organization."

BELIEF SYSTEM SELECTOR ...an exploration of world religions By SelectSmart.com Staff Click to compare religions on a single page. Scientology Belief in Deity: Belief in Deity: Scientology considers the belief in a God or gods as something personal and therefore offers no specific dogma. The nature of the Supreme Being is revealed personally through each individual as s/he becomes more conscious and spiritually aware. There exists a life energy or force (Theta) beyond and within all. Incarnations: There are no particular human incarnations of God as the universal life force (Theta) is inherent in all. All humans are immortal spiritual beings (thetans) capable of realizing a nearly godlike state through Scientology practices. Origin of universe/life: All is manifestation of the universal spirit, which is all that actually exists. After death: Rebirths continue until one consciously confronts all pre-birth, current life, and previous life traumas and realizes one's true nature as a "thetan," immortal spirit transcending matter, energy, space, and time. Achieving this state enables the spirit to escape the cycle of birth and death, to operate independently of the physical universe, and become one with God.

When Scientologist Lorraine Baritz of Boston was called to the hospital by friends whose 13-year-old son was in a coma and on life-support four days after a severe motorcycle accident, she knew exactly what she had to do to help. News of the recovery traveled through the hospital, reaching others standing vigil by their own children. A couple with an infant son in a coma asked for help. Again Lorraine answered the call. The outcome was reported in the local Boston newspaper: Stories like these are commonplace, anything but common in a world where people are searching for answers on how to provide real and lasting help to others.

Dorthe Refslund Christensen: Scientology: fra terapi til religion Scientology: en ny religion Munksgaard, 1997. 84 sider / Gyldendal, 1997.148 sider. Anmeldt af Lene Buck, kristendomshistorisk overbygning Dorte Refslund Christensen har fornylig udgivet to bøger om Scientology. Den første bog er "den første større danske religionshistoriske fremstilling af Scientology", som det hedder på bagsiden, og altså især for sådan nogle som os (dvs. religions-studerende), og det er derfor den jeg fortrinsvis vil anmelde. Den anden bog er en kortere og mere pædagogisk formuleret bog for HF og gymnasiet, som jeg kun vil bruge for sammenligningens skyld. Indledning Det indledende kapitel kommer godt omkring de klassiske religionshistoriske spørgsmål: hvordan defineres religion, hvad er nyreligiøsitet etc. Refslund Christensen ender med at komponere sin egen religions-definition til formålet, en såkaldt substantiel definition: religion er et sæt af forestillinger og symboler, der retter sig mod en metafysisk "andethed"

50. Scientology --- "The Profit" - A Review Movie review by Mark Bunker. http://www.holysmoke.org/cos/the-profit-review.htm

"The Profit" - A Review Scientology Subject: "The Profit" - A Review Date: Sat, 25 Aug 2001 21:29:53 GMT A couple years back, I was riding in a Clearwater cab. I was on my way to a candlelight vigil in memory of a woman who died a tragic death after being held against her will for 17 days in the Fort Harrison Hotel. The cab driver was very curious about Scientology and asked a lot of questions. At one point he asked if there was any connection to Satanism. I gave him a little background about Hubbard and Jack Parsons and their attempts to create the Moonchild. This driver, who had been so interested in Scientology, suddenly said, "Oh c'mon! You're just making this up to make Hubbard look bad." This driver hadn't heard Hubbard in his own voice praising his "good friend, Aleister Crowley." He hadn't seen any documentation or heard Scientology's silly cover story (repeated on the A&E two hour documentary) that Hubbard had been sent in to "break-up" this Satanic cult. The story was just too unbelievable to be true. This unfortunately is one of the main flaws with the movie "The Profit." Although many of the events in the life of the fictional L.

Clergy Corner: Scientology Scientology Gives Believers a Map on the Road to Self-fulfillment by Cathy Norman L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology, once wrote: "When a culture has fallen totally away from spiritual pursuits into materialism, one must begin by demonstrating they are each a soul, not a material animal. From this realization of their own religious nature, individuals can again come to an awareness of God and become more themselves." In Scientology, we have no dogma about God. Nor do we ask you to take our teachings on faith. Instead, we start by showing you things about your spiritual nature, yourself, others and the world around you. From there you begin your road to truth and relationship with the Ultimate. At an early age, Hubbard began to search for a means by which man could discover his true nature and realize his potential. For more than 30 years, he consulted the great religious works of the East and Greece and Rome, the philosophical works of Hegel and Kant, the psychological theories of Sigmund Freud, and the physical sciences. He also examined the beliefs and rites of primitive cultures, primarily firsthand. In May 1950, Hubbard published his initial findings in

The rapporteur rejected allegations by the Scientologists that Germany's attitude towards them is reminiscent of the Nazis. But in a report to the UN Human Rights Commission he warned that the emotional debate about new religious movements may lead to prejudice, and asked Germany to begin a campaign against religious intolerance. The German authorities say surveillance of Scientologists is necessary because of what they call the movement's anti-democratic activities.

Kent Department of Sociology University of Alberta Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Email: steve.kent@ualberta.ca Abstract This article critically examines the allegations of religious intolerance that United States officials and governmental staff have leveled against France and Germany (along with other European countries) for their policies on, and actions toward, Scientology and other controversial groups. It argues that American officials appear to be poorly informed about the bases for the Europeans' critical positions, and that those officials have been the recipients of selective information provided by Scientology itself along with Scientology's supporters. It concludes by offering a preliminary analysis of this Euro-American debate in the context of 'international social movements' theory within the social sciences.

RON HUBBARD The founder of Scientology was born in Tilden, Neb., on March 13, 1911, Lafayette Ronald Hubbard. According to church biographies, Hubbard traveled extensively through Asia as a teenager and studied Eastern religions and philosophies. He later served as a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy during World War II and went on to become a prolific and popular science fiction writer. However, he is best known for his book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, which was published in May 1950 and became a nationwide bestseller. His writings on Dianetics and Scientology inspired Scientologists to form the first Church of Scientology in Los Angeles in 1954. He also wrote on the subjects of education, business management, drug rehabilitation, morals and art. Hubbard died of a stroke on Jan. 24, 1986, at a central California ranch where he had been living in seclusion for several years.
