American Chronicle: Crunching the Numbers on Literacy – Scientology Volunteer Ministers in India

Nice story about people making a difference.

I was really pleased to see the article on the Scientology Press Office on the Volunteer Ministers in south eastern India.

I am so impressed by people who would give up all their creature comforts to move their entire family to an area in the back of beyond, to help the people recover from the tsunami. And that they are still there 2 1/2 years later is really exceptional.

According to the article on Scientology in the US Navy Chaplain web site:

The Scientology religion was developed by American author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard. It came from his lifelong passion to assist man to achieve a higher plane of civilization and existence. Mr. Hubbard was not only a writer, one of the leading lights of the Golden Age of science fiction in the mid-1900s, but a true Renaissance man — who was a recognized explorer with membership in the prestigious Explorer's Club, a captain of corvettes during World War II, and fully versed in 21 different professions.

Pearl Harbor - 65 Years Later. Have We Learned Anything From it?

If there is any lesson to be learned from remembering the gruesome start of a horrendous war, I think it is that war is psychotic and resolves nothing.

Was there any progress made? Are we now more humane than we were before? Do we live in peace in a world of brotherly love and trust? Hell no.

So what was the point in all that killing?

Santa's naughty list now officially includes any kids that take or promote drug use. On December 1st, 2006 Santa Claus was officially sworn in as a "Drug Free Marshal" along with hundreds of other parents and children at the 13th annual Winter Wonderland in Clearwater.

I was so impressed by Mr. Miscavige's IAS speech this year.

David Miscavige Announces the Release of the Clearing Congress Films of L. Ron Hubbard

On 17 March, 2006, Mr. David Miscavige took the stage before a capacity house at Clearwater’s Performing Arts Center where Scientologists from all over the world had come, joined via telecast by tens of thousands more in every geographic zone to celebrate L. Ron Hubbard’s birthday, mankind’s greatest friend. >>

I watched these DVDs and the product achieved in the remastering of them is incredible. Mr. Miscavige described the whole process in his speech at the release event, but you have to watch them to believe it.

I had seen these films first on reel to reel movies, then in video format and now it is amazing. You feel so close to Ron when you watch these movies.

And the information on them is priceless.
