Scientology KidsThe video I just watched on the Scientology site smoked. It was all these kids saying what they got out of Scientology and why they are Scientologists. It so resonated with me. That's exactly what I'd say if someone asked me.

On Ron's birthday, I'd like to express my thanks for everything I've gained in personal freedom, awareness and happiness thanks to Scientology.

Scientology Kids and Drugs I know many Scientology families where the kids are very active in drug education and prevention. Scientologists take a strong and firm stand against drugs, and for the most part our kids grow up knowing the facts about drugs. I'm sure there are still some who experiment, but from the families I know who are Scientologists compared to those who are not, the

One thing I've always hated is "Spring into Spring" (moving back to Daylight Savings Time). First of all I never understood why we have to change the time at all. But then if we're going to, why do I have to lose the hour. I mean, can't someone else take up the slack? Why does it have to come out of my precious Sunday sleep-in time? And now they've making me do it the first weekend of March!

Good grief! Wasn't it just Thanksgiving? And here it is on the verge of February! I feel like the Dr. Dave Bowman (the Keir Dullea part in 2001 Space Odyssey) after he hit the implant at Jupiter. Every time the camera shifted he was 20 years older. --- On another subject entirely, what do you think about the "miserable failure" fix? I have to hand it to Google. When they set their mind to do

Mr. David Miscavige is a truly remarkable leader, dedicated to accomplishing the aims of the Scientology religious movement and successfully doing it. Here is an interview of Mr. Miscavige that was done by the St. Petersburg Times that highlights this. www.sptimes.com/TampaBay/102598/scientologypart1.html

I try to avoid the news. But the other day I happened to land on a Google News page on the subject of sexual trafficking. And I learned about "Sexual tourism." Do you believe there is a huge industry in Thailand, Kenya and other third world countries where rich American perverts who would be jailed as sexual predators in the US can vent their psychoses on children who have been sold or

As 2006 winds to a close, it is time to reflect on everything we are thankful for and set new goals for 2007. Where do you want to be a year from now? Five years? Ten? I will be posting my ideas here over the coming days. Feel free to do the same.

What a useful message for the holiday season. Thanks very much for posting the link. L. Ron Hubbard also wrote that people should "be worthy of trust." This is from his common sense moral code, "The Way to Happiness" and is brilliantly rendered in this public service announcement: http://www.thewaytohappiness.org/get-involved/public-service-announcements/view/?id=14

I found one of my favorite ads on YouTube today. A couple of years ago, the Church of Scientology International published an ad focusing on a quote by L. Ron Hubbard: "On the day when we can fully trust each other, there will be peace on Earth." Particularly fitting to the upcoming Christmas season, but pertinent all year round, here's a copy of the ad:

There's an interesting discussion on feministing.com on sexual trafficking. Not something you hear about too often, but a very definite part of life, and something we all need to take more responsibility for. The Church of Scientology International has produced a series of videos for Youth for Human Rights International to bring the subject of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights into

Guardian Unlimited | The Guardian | Muslims angry at new Danish cartoons scandal There is a point where freedom of speech leaves off and intolerance and bigotry begin. There is also a point of judgments - is it more important to vent one's prejudiced views than to preserve human life, or to defend the religious freedom of others? To me it is a matter of responsibility vs. license and I know
