I really enjoyed reading Phil's story on the Scientology Media website. It was very real to me how much the death of his friend must have affected him.

Ron Hubbard's technology.I don't care whether a person is or is not a

The Tone ScaleI had the occasion to be very glad I knew about the Tone Scale the other day.I had to make a decision about which of two people to trust. They were saying almost opposite things. And it was really hard to tell who was lying.Fortunately I was able to spot that one of the two was in a tone level called "covert hostility." So I went with the other guy. I was sure glad I did. It

Thoughts on Human Rights Day I found this article on the Scientology Human Rights Forum site and it got me thinking.What do you think would happen if even 5% of the population because staunch human rights advocates?I think that those who like to abuse human rights would find themselves so outnumbered that they'd get the **** out of there and let the rest of us get on with living our lives in

More on Scientology WeddingsWith all the interest in Scientology weddings, it reminded me of my own.

It teaches that it is their experiences that cause people to commit evil deeds. It is not their basic nature to do so. People can also mistakenly solve their problems by thinking only of their own personal interests and overlook or ignore

My Religion Before I became a Scientologist I was a seeker, and before that I was what you would probably describe as a humanist.Little did I know that when I was seeking for some kind of mystical revelation, all the while doubting that it would occur, I was about to find a religion which satisfied my intellectual bent and my spiritual needs.
