The Church of Scientology Extract from the book "The Church of Scientology" by J. Gordon Melton The Organization of Scientology The Structure of the Church What is now the Church of Scientology began as small groups of people gathered to do Dianetics counseling. To this day, the growing edge of Scientology is still found in small Dianetic counseling groups and missions where field auditors introduce people to Scientology and offer basic counseling. Missions, more formally organized than the counseling groups, assist people who are ready to start up the bridge and encourage them to continue their efforts at the nearest local Church of Scientology. Where no groups or missions are readily available, individual field auditors may operate alone. The church supports its field auditors directly through the International Hubbard Ecclesiastical League of Pastors (IHELP), and the missions through Scientology Missions International Local churches are prepared to assist members with both the counseling ( auditing ) and class work that will allow them to reach the state of Clear . They are also the major focus of the church's interaction with the community as they motivate members to become involved in the church's

Scientology Science or New Age Cult?* Scientology, officially known as The Church of Scientology , was founded in 1953 by L. Ron Hubbard (1912-1986), and popularized through his 1950 book, DIANETICS: The Modern Science of Mental Health (over ten million copies sold). Dianetics was originally intended to be Hubbard's psychotherapeutic answer to the techniques of modern psychiatry . (The word "Dianetics" means "through the soul," and promises to reveal "the single source of all man's insanities, psychosomatic illnesses, and neuroses.") In addition to Dianetics , Scientology produces scores of other publications. A short list includes Source The Delphian Advance! , and The Auditor The history of Scientology actually begins much earlier than 1953. Hubbard had become a well known science fiction writer in the 1930s. In fact, some of his ideas which are "common to Scientology first appeared in his 1938 manuscript titled Excalibur " ( Kingdom of the Cults , p. 345), more than a decade before its official founding. Wild claims have been made about Hubbard's earlier life by Scientology publications. For example, they have claimed that he "graduated in civil engineering from George Washington University as a nuclear physicist, although the university records show that he attended for two short years, during the second of which he was on academic probation, and failed physics. Hubbard's Ph.D. was said to be from a Sequoia University in California, although there is no proof of the existence of any accredited institution in California by that name that grants doctorates" (

W hat is SCIENTOLOGY applied religious philosophy? T he word Scientology means literally "knowing how to know." Scientology contains knowledge and practical technology for handling life. And life is more than just the cells and tissues of the body; man is a spiritual being, and Scientology is the study and handling of the spirit in relation to itself, the universe and other life. I n today's world, man has many problems. It's often difficult and even heartbreaking to deal with other people, carry on relationships, keep a marriage together, raise children, maintain and improve a career, and have enough money to survive without having to worry about it. There are many different philosophies about life, but what good is a philosophy that doesn't help people handle these things and better their own lives? N o matter what you may have been told, you don't have to "adjust" to bad conditions in your life. You are not the pawn or puppet of forces beyond your control. You are a spiritual being, and your potential abilities are far greater than anyone has ever permitted you to believe. U sing the knowledge and technology of Scientology, you can improve your life. Scientology is no ivory-tower speculation about life. It contains practical, workable principles you can use every day to handle whatever comes up, and in so doing, finally achieve the goals you set for yourself.

131. News & Opinion: Conversion Course (The Boston Phoenix . 02-02-98) Review of the scientology film Orientation. http://weeklywire.com/ww/02-02-98/boston_feature_1.html

Conversion Course You'd expect Scientologists to be spacey and intense. You might not expect them to make such a bad movie. By Mark Bazer The folks at the Church of Scientology really blew it. They couldn't have asked for a better person to recruit than me. I am a lonely, girlfriendless, insecure, boyfriendless, emotionally unstable, clinically depressed, acne-ridden, small-penised, bed-wetting-prone, physically unattractive pile of nothing with a bit of a gut going, who styles himself a writer, but always writes run-on sentences, and repeats words in his sentences. I am also a huge movie fan. So you can imagine my excitement when I walked out of Newbury Comics the other day after picking up the new issue of Aquaman and got handed a free ticket to the film Orientation , playing at the Church of Scientology. The ticket didn't mention who was in the movie, though I figured it starred John Travolta, partly because he's a Scientologist, but mostly because I couldn't think of a movie that's come out lately that he hasn't been in. Add a potential love interest in Kelly Preston, supporting roles from Tom Cruise, Anne Archer, and Nicole Kidman, and a funky soundtrack by jazz musician Chick Corea and Shaft -man Isaac Hayes, and we're talking a virtual shoo-in for an Oscar.

Back to: Church of Scientology International v. Fishman and Geertz Scientology: The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power. This famous article critical of Scientology has been the target of an organized book-burning campaign by Scientologists as detailed in the Scarff deposition. The piece was awarded the Gerald Loeb Award for distinguished business and financial journalism, the Worth Bingham Prize and the Conscience in Media Awards from the American Society of Journalists and Authors. By republishing it into the digital domain of the Usenet we hope to confer a kind of immortality on it that Scientology never does on either the perpetrators or victims of its crimes.

I NTERFAITH E TIQUETTE ... Contact Us SCIENTOLOGY (THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY) Scientology, one of the genuinely new religions to originate in the United States in the twentieth century, was founded by L. Ron Hubbard (1911-1986). The Church of Scientology believes "that Man is basically good, that he is seeking to survive, [and] that his survival depends on himself and upon his fellows and his attainment of brotherhood with the universe" (from Church of Scientology's statement of beliefs). Hubbard's extensive writings and taped lectures constitute the beliefs and the basis for the religion's practices. The aims of Scientology are "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." L. Ron Hubbard grew up mostly in Montana, but also lived in Nebraska; Seattle, Washington; and Washington, DC . As a child he read extensively, and by the age of twelve was studying the theories of Freud. As a teenager Hubbard traveled throughout Asia and the East, continuing his studies of philosophy, religion, and human nature. In 1929 he returned to the United States and in 1930 enrolled in George Washington University, studying mathematics, engineering, and nuclear physics. Hubbard wanted to answer the basic questions relating to the human being's nature, and decided to do further research on his own. To finance this, he began a literary career in the early 1930s, publishing numerous stories and screen plays in various genres, including adventure, mystery, and science fiction. Hubbard continued his travels and then served in the United States Navy during World War II. He was injured during the war, and used some of his own theories concerning the human mind to assist in his healing.

Europe Please read the VNN Standard of Publication before submitting your material to news@vnn.org US Senate Hearings on religious persecution in Europe Washington , USA (VNN) - The Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe held Senate Hearings on religious persecution in Europe on Thursday. Representatives of some religious groups testified before the Senate Committee. Amongst the witnesses were actor John Travolta and musician Chick Corea. Several European countries, like Russia, Bulgaria and Austria were mentioned to recently have introduced legislation to curb proliferation of so-called "new" religious groups. Some European governments have established government agencies to investigate "sects" and "cults". Many countries were mentioned but based on the witness testimony Germany stood out as the most blatant violator of the Helsinki accord on human rights for their government sponsored religious persecution. A representative of the Christliche Gemeinde Koeln - Germany spoke of witch-hunt, bomb threats, harassment and revocation of tax free status. Testifying on behalf of the Scientology church, Chick Corea, a international renowned musician, who regularly performed in Germany at publicly sponsored concerts, reported of German government agencies canceling his contract to perform in Germany and publicly pressuring other local governments to prevent him from performing in any concert in Germany. He told of a German concert contract including a clause threatening a $50,000 fine if he would as much as mention the word "Scientology".

Alexander, The Profit director. Peter D. Alexander believes he's doing a public service with his film The Profit. For the Church of Scientology, The Profit is just a nuisance. Moviegoers can see for themselves beginning tonight. Alexander's work of fiction, based on the life of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, begins an exclusive run at Clearwater Cinema Cafe at the corner of U.S. 19 and Sunset Point Road. Alexander declares his movie to be a warning against the influence of religious cults. It's the story of a charismatic opportunist named L. Conrad Powers, who bears a close resemblance to Hubbard. Powers creates the Church of Scientific Spiritualism in the image of Scientology as projected by decades of media coverage and courtroom disputes. Ask Alexander if The Profit is based on Scientology, and he'll offer coy denials. Answering yes could make him vulnerable to the Church of Scientology's legal machine, yet he can't resist steering a questioner and moviegoers to that conclusion. He's stretching the liberty of fiction to its limit.
