Scientology Basic Beliefs: The Courier Post Gets It Right!

At last a journalist who gets it right! After reading through so much nonsense from various so called journalists who get their data from god knows where, certainly not anyone who knows anything about the subject, it is refreshing to read an actual accurate description of what we Scientologists actually believe:Elemental beliefs of Scientology

Scientology: Theology and Practice

It's interesting to see a journalist actually trying to be accurate. I do appreciate that. In this case she does a not bad job. One major error is that the term "thetan" refers to a being, whereas in the article she says it is made up of three parts. What we say in Scientology is that a person is made up of three parts: body, mind and spirit. The spirit is actually you, that which is aware of being aware. To avoid confusion since the term "spirit" has many definitions and interpretations we use the term "thetan" instead (from the Greek letter "theta"). The way you use the word is to say something like "I am a thetan". The second error is that she says that in the Scientology Funeral service "the deceased are believed to be in a better place". We believe that people live again, Saying "a better place" implies somewhere other than here, for a Christian it would probably connote heaven. So we don't believe people go to a "better place" they simply come back to this one. Anyway, with all that said, here is the article: Scientology: Theology & Practice

For the actual book the article was (somewhat) taken from: Scientology: Theology & Practice

More on Human Rights Abuses and Psychiatry

On NBC's "Today" show, Scientologist Tom Cruise said he had carefully studied the history of psychiatry, that it is a pseudoscience, that children are being put on psychiatric drugs against their will, without their parents knowing the side-effects, that Ritalin is a drug available on the street, that there is no such thing as a chemical imbalance, and that psychiatric drugs do not cure anything but merely mask the real problems. Well, here are a lot of links to show that he was right and that these violations of human rights are occurring:

• Chemical Imbalance Hoax
• Chemical Imbalance Fraud
• Chemical Imbalance - Where is the Test?
• Chemical Imbalance - Tom Cruise was right
• Psychiatry is a PseudoScience - Postpartum Depression and more

Scientology and Psychiatric Abuse

Scientologists are against all forms of abuse of people and human rights. One of the worst fields for abuse of both individuals and of human rights in general is the field of psychiatry. Here is an excellent article about the current media obsession with psychiatric drugs and chemical imbalances and the opposition of Scientologists to psychiatric abuses: War of two religious worldviews

More Support For Tom Cruise

In his interview on the "Today Show" Tom Cruise said that the "chemical imbalance" theory, used to justify the use of antidepressants, had no proof to back it up. Well, he was right as you can see from these statements by various experts: "Chemical Imbalance" Hoax

Doctors Support Tom Cruise's Position on Brook Shields and Paxil

Medical doctors have come out in support of the position taken by Tom Cruise when he criticized Brook Shields for promoting the antidepressant Paxil as a treatment for Post Partum Depression (PPD). In fact the FDA has issued a warning that adults who use antidepressants could be at risk of suicidal behavior. One doctor bluntly stated that PPD is not a mental disorder but a physical problem and that treating PPD with antidepressants is very dangerous. Added to this are the well established finding that the majority of so called mental disorders (such as anxiety disorder and depression) stem from a physical problem (such as under-active thyroid)
