Chairman of the Board Religious Technology Center, Mr. David Miscavige, presented the global view of our most significant steps toward planetary clearing ever: • OT Ambassadors spearheading another year of milestone accomplishment in the name of Ideal Orgs and The Bridge toOT. • Advanced Organizations, the Freewinds and the Flag Service Organization generating an OT boom at all levels of that Bridge. • IAS-powered campaigns salvaging the Fourth Dynamic, while laying the keystones of a new civilization with Ideal Orgs at strategic crossroads of Earth. • And the defining event: the monumental announcement of the Golden Age of Knowledge Phase Two—LRH tech restored and now ours for eternity, changing the definition of what it even means to be a Scientologist.

  • Benefits I Have Received from Scientology Auditing and Train
    14 August 1997 Dear I have been asked to describe certain 'secular' benefits I have received from Scientology auditing and training that are not generally understood to be religious or spiritual in nature and how these have affected my community services activities. From my own schooldays I had a purpose to help other children gain a good education and to this end became a qualified teacher and pursued this profession until I married and had a family. I then came into contact with Scientology and through it gained greater self reliance and greater confidence in handling projects Also I was trained in the use of the study method developed by L Ron Hubbard and decided that I wanted to use it to help children to study better in school. With the help of a local West Indian businessman and other volunteers I started Riving supplementary teaching in the evening to disadvantaged children in Brixton , something which was especially wanted by West Indian parents in the drea. This project which we named B.E.S.T, ( the Basic Education and Supplementary Teaching .Association ) is now an authorised charity and continues to provide supplementary teaching and vacation projects in the Brixton area. More recently I have taken on another volunteer activity, that of bringing this study method to teachers in a country in Southern Africa. The education authorities in that country had become aware that the academic results being achieved in their schools were not sufficiently being translated into success in the professions and the workplace. L Ron Hubbard's Study Technology with its emphasis on fully understanding and being able to apply the data being studied was demonstrated in a pilot project and was shown to markedly increase student interest and comprehension and to greatly reduce truancy and its introduction was approved.

  • Dear Matt, While I Understand Your Predicament, I Fully Understand The
    Dear Matt, While I understand your predicament, I fully understand the situation you and your ASA colleagues find yourselves in. It is not often one has to deal with an organisation as deceptive as The Way To Happiness Foundation. To cut to the chase - while the ASA acknowledges the connection between The Way To Happiness Foundation and Scientology, the ASA believes that The Way To Happiness Foundation is a separate charity in its own right. I intend to present evidence establishing the following four points: 1) The Way To Happiness Foundation is under control of Scientology international management. 2) The Way To Happiness Foundation is run by Scientologists. 3) The Way To Happiness Foundation is being run for the purpose of Scientology. 4) A proportion of donations collected by The Way To Happiness Foundation go to Scientology. If the above four points are true, then the claim that The Way To Happiness Foundation is a separate charity in its own right must be rejected, and future advertisements on behalf of this group must clearly reflect this. 1. The IRS application and decision. I will begin by revisiting the IRS position. The 1023 IRS filing made in 1993 as part of The Way To Happiness Foundation’s application for tax-exemption is available from http://www.xenu-directory.net/documents/corporate/irs/1993-1023-twth.pdf . From page 10 that 1023 filing: Evidence piece 1 From page 9 of that same document: Evidence piece 2 Evidence piece 3 From the 1993 IRS closing agreement that gave The Way To Happiness Foundation and other Scientology entities their tax-exemption, Scientology-related entities qualifying for tax-exemption are defined thus (http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Cowen/essays/agreemnt.html#Scientology- related%20entity ): “4.

  • For Scientology to Double Its Downtown Clearwater Footprint
    **** Tampa Bay Times | Sunday, October 20, 2019 | 7A CLEAR TAKEOVER IT TOOK ONLY THREE YEARS FOR SCIENTOLOGY TO DOUBLE ITS DOWNTOWN CLEARWATER FOOTPRINT. BY TRACEY McMANUS Times Staff Writer he Church of Scientology and companies run by its mem- bers spent $103 million over the past three years buying up vast sections of downtown Clearwater. TThey now own most commercial property on every block within walk- ing distance of the waterfront, putting the secretive church firmly in control of the area’s future. Only government buildings and a smattering of holdouts are left. To see the impact, go down Cleve- land Street, downtown’s main artery. Twenty-two of the first 33 buildings are now owned by the church or the parishioners’ companies. Most of the sales have not previ- ously been reported. The Tampa Bay Times discovered them by reviewing more than 1,000 deeds and business records, then interviewed more than 90 people to reconstruct the circum- stances surrounding the transactions. Even city leaders said they didn’t know the full extent of the purchases until they were shown maps created by the Times. The church, its members and com- panies they control now own 185 properties that cover 101 acres in the center of downtown. Half the properties were bought since January 2017. The land grab started as tensions grew between the church and the Clearwater City Council. Each had proposed major redevelopment proj- ects, designed to lure new business into the empty storefronts that sur- round the city-owned waterfront and LUIS SANTANA | Times the church’s spiritual headquarters.
