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. Joe Brady, former lieutenant of the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office and past president of Fraternal Order of Police, did the honors. >>

David Miscavige Opening Speech at this year's IAS Event



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

You should go into an Org or Mission and tell them to play it for you if you haven't seen it yet.

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.

Why Read a Scientology or Dianetics Book?


You've probably heard a good deal about Scientology.

And I wouldn't be surprised if you know a Scientologist.

If you do, chances are you like the person and may have been curious about why he or she is a Scientologist

The best way to find out is to get a book.

The one I recommend are Dianetics the Modern Science of Mental Health

I was just reading Jettero Heller's Engineering a New Worldblog.

He certainly has an ecclectic taste. Blogs about the most interesting things.



Check out this posting about architecture in Dubai.

And stay around for a while an enjoy the blog.

Jet blogs a lot about Scientology and has some very interesting things to say on the subject.

Why shouldn't dreams come true?

honeymoon

David Miscavige Interview



I ran across this interview of David Miscavige on YouTube. I saw it in 1992 and it was great to see it again.

David Miscavige is a natural leader, but what he's accomplished in the last 20 years since he became Chairman of the Board of RTC (Religious Technology Center) is remarkable.

And I think the reason he is so successful is that he applies Scientology 100% standardly.

Scientology Weddings


There has been lots of interest in Scientology weddings, with the recent marriage of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

As a Scientology ministers I have performed many weddings in the past. And the thing that differentiates a Scientology wedding from any other marriage ceremony is that it offers advice to the couple to help them create their marriage and keep it bright, alive and full of the same joy they are experiencing on their wedding day.

That tool is a discovery of L. Ron Hubbard called "The ARC Triange." Pronounced A- R- C not "arc" it stands for Affinity, Reality and Communication.

Here is a link to an article on ARC that tells what it is all about and how it works.

And here's a clip of the Today show where they talk about the wedding (prior to it happening) and what the service is like.
