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!

Ron's Birthday

Tonight is the LRH birthday event in Florida (Clearwater and the Flag Land Base), and tomorrow is the event in LA and I can hardly wait.

I think this is my favorite Scientology event. What I look forward to most is hearing David Miscavige speak (he always does the keynote speech and acts as master of ceremonies) and learning more about L. Ron Hubbard. There is usually a video presentation by his biographer, Danny Sherman.

One thing is for sure, no matter how much I keep up with the news, there is always blow-away information I didn't expect at all at each event.

I've been a Scientologist for so long and it is just a dream come true to me to see how much and how fast we are expanding now, and how much we are reaching out to help people, which was the reason I became a Scientologist in the first place -- to get and receive help.
