That is wonderful news. Mr. Gates and his wife have been involved in humanitarian efforts for a while.

There may be apparent parallels between church and business, but religion gives us something that no other organization can give: spiritual betterment.

vajradhara, this thread was made because someone had questions about Scientology. It was very rude of you to hijack this thread in an attempt to ridicule and prove Scientology wrong. I came here to answer questions, but it seems that I found only bigotry and religious intolerance - the last...

I'm very happy to hear that your son has improved. What is "MI" exactly and what medication was he prescribed? When talking about psychiatric medications, as opposed to those in the medical world used to control actual regulatory systems in the body, we are referring to psychotropic drugs...

vajradhara, I'm only here to answer questions about Scientology but I find it insulting that you use the terms "Co$" and "cult" to refer to the Church of Scientology, implying that it's a money-hungry, brainwashing group. The truth is that it is exactly the opposite of that. Please stop...

Scientology is opposed to psychiatric abuses of human rights, as I think anyone would be. The problem is that brain lobotomies, electroshock "therapy" and the most recent of their so-called cures, the drugging of people for profit have never resulted in actual improvement in patients. On the...

To get a good overview, I would start with Scientology: A New Slant On Life. It's a collection of writings from various areas that I mentioned in the above post. It's a relatively small book and an easy read. Your local library should have a copy of it. Another good book is the Scientology...

I replied earlier but I don't see my post anywhere. I think it was filtered because I had some links in the post. I'll try again without links. The most common question is "What is Scientology?" While this is a very broad question, we can say that it is essentially an applied religious...

Sure. The most common question that people have, of course, is "What is Scientology?". The quickest and easiest way to get a good understanding is to visit the Scientology Video Chanel at http://www.scientology.org/index.html and watch on your computer screen. Here, you can also learn about the...

Hi CL, I'm a Scientologist. Ask away! I'll do my best to answer you.

If you consider that money is an intermediate that is meant to facilitate trading goods and services, then money is nothing more than the effect of how productive one is. I don't think anyone can say that it's wrong to grow more crops or to build more houses or to create more clothing. These...

LostAndTortured, I know exactly what you're going through. Many, many people go through this with marriage as well. Let me ask you this one question: Have you committed any harmful acts against your wife which you have withheld from her? My intention here is definitely not to place blame, but...

It takes two to communicate. Next time you attend an event, start up a conversation with someone yourself. :)

I think you can avoid "tantrum" and "behavior problems" altogether - and thus the need to spank - by following some simple rules in regard to children: whatever is given to a child should remain under the child's complete control (i.e. don't give him a toy and then tell him how or when to play...

I would say so.
