L. Ron Hubbard's Birthday

This past weekend, nearly every Scientology church and mission in the world held their March 13th event.

March 13th is the anniversary of L. Ron Hubbard's birthday and the tradition sprang up in the mid-70s to celebrate it as a yearly event. Every Scientology church competes against all others to be the fastest expanding church on Earth. And this year the winners with the Church of Scientology of Denmark in Copenhagen! I'm pretty sure this is the first time they've ever won that prize and boy were they pumped.

It was great to see David Miscavige. Mr. Miscavige is the Chairman of the Board of Religious Technology Center (worth of visit to that web site to find out what RTC is all about. Pretty remarkable actually). Anyway, David Miscavige is one of the best public speakers I've ever heard, and his speeches always rock. I love being kept up-to-date on what's happening with Scientology and Scientologists around the world, and as usual his keynote speech delivered a walloping overview on that score.

The March 13th event is also special because of the presentation by the LRH biographer, and this year's was so terrific.

If you missed the event, you can still see it at the closest Scientology church of mission to you. There's a new global locator on the Scientology Volunteer Ministers web site, and you can even get driving directions. Check it out here!

A civilization without insanity, without criminals and without war, where the able can prosper and honest beings can have rights, and where man is free to rise to greater heights, are the aims of Scientology.~~~L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Scientology religion
