Scientology Wedding

The spectacular wedding of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes is a historical event!

It is great that they had a Scientology wedding ceremony. More data on Scientology weddings can be found at www.scientologywedding.org.

Volunteer Ministers

Scientology Volunteer Ministers bring effective help and relief to people. No matter what the problem is, it is a firm principle to the Volunteer Minister that Something Can Be Done About It.

This includes helping people with drug problems.

Here is a video that shows the effectiveness of Volunteer Ministers.

Trust

A person's ability to trust and be trusted is of great value in a civilization.

In the words of L. Ron Hubbard, Founder of the Scientology religion:

On the day when we can fully trust each other there will be peace on earth.

It can be achieved.

Here is a video that portrays this.

Drug War

A drug war rages on this planet. L. Ron Hubbard recognized the drug problem long before it became an international concern. And he developed a technology people can use to free themselves from this trap and remain free of it. His technology is the weapon that can win this war.

What is Scientology's View on Drugs?

Scientologists consider that drugs cause extremely damaging effects on a person -- physically, mentally and spiritually. They decrease awareness and hinder abilities. They are a "solution" to some other problem, but then they become an even bigger problem.

For more information about drugs and what can be done about them, the book Clear Body, Clear Mind: The Effective Purification Program is recommended.

The Destructiveness of Drugs

Research has demonstrated that the single most destructive element present in our current culture is drugs. Find out the specifics and the solutions at the Church of Scientology's "Say No To Drugs" Anti-Drug Campaign webpage, at www.notodrugs-yestolife.org.

The Jive Aces, dedicated anti-drug crusaders, are performing at Saint Hill this weekend.

The Annual Gala Charity Concert taking place at historic Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, West Sussex on Monday 23rd October.

The Gala Charity Concert, which is organised by the

We would be delighted if you would like to join us for this very special occasion. Each year we select three charities to benefit from the concert, and in previous years we have chosen a wide variety - from the New York Fire Department and the City of London Police's Children's Charity to the Royal National Lifeboat Institute and Sussex Ambulance Service to name a few.

The Truth About Drugs

The website Church of Scientology 'Say No to Drugs' Anti-Drug Campaign at www.notodrugs-yestolife.org is an excellent source for the truth about drugs, how they destroy lives and what can be done about the situation.

The Church of Scientology is now distributing around the world millions of copies of booklets describing the destructive effects of drugs. What drugs really do to people is graphically laid out in these booklets with documentation. Find out more about this in the article Church of Scientology Anti-Drug Activities at www.scientology.org.

Meth

I just read the booklet on Crystal Meth that the Church of Scientology International publishes. Wow. I had no idea how destructive this is.

I've seen the police busts of Meth labs but it never came home to me, before reading the booklet, what this was doing to people. It actually seemed a bit over dramatic to me.

But I am completely apalled at the effects of this drug.

You can read the booklet at the Scientology drug prevention web site

Heroin

Unfortunately, over the past few years heroin has been popularized, particluarly through ads using "heroin chic" models.

The booklet the Church of Scientology International has published on heroin is hard hitting and factual.

Kids need to read this (and it's written so they can -- no unnecessarily hard words).

There is really nothing glamorous about being a heroin addict. And there is no such thing as a person who just "uses" heroin but is not addicted.

5 Million Anti-Drug Booklets

The Church of Scientology International has printed 5 million anti-drug booklets, which they are now distributing around the world.

These booklets are terrific. They really tall the truth about drugs and it is so clear when you read them that they have no other agenda -- they just want to get through to kids so they decide not to take drugs before it's too late.

I'd decided not to take certain drugs, but I'd never decided not to take all drugs until I became a Scientologist because it was at that point that I came to understand the effect of drugs on the individual.

Now kids can get this information BEFORE they get into trouble.

Kids should have every opportunity to do well in life. These booklets provide them the information they really need.

If you would like to get copies of the booklets, or ever reprint them from your club, group, country, etc.

Parents, teachers, employers and civic leaders are all in a position to help keep young people from taking drugs. Moralizing about the evils of drugs doesn’t work. Neither do scare tactics. Answering the inevitable questions with frank, honest data, provides a young person with the information he or she needs to make the intelligent choice to remain drug free. That starts with having the answers.

Discover those answers at www.drugsalvage.org

James told the Drug-Free Ambassadors that he wished he found them before he started on marijuana at the age of 14. In less than three years he graduated to heroin and got into stealing to support his habit. Having now paid for this with a 10-year stint in jail he wants the Ambassadors to reach all the kids in Australia so no one else has to suffer the way he has.

And now the Federal Treasury and the Department of Family and Community Services had made it easier for the Drug-Free Ambassadors of Australia to get to kids like James in time, by granting the group full tax deductible status and putting them on the register of Harm Prevention Charities.

The timing of this recognition couldn't be better. It coincides with the Ambassadors' plan to release hundreds of thousands of new booklets to let youth know the truth about heroin, marijuana, cocaine, LSD, speed or methamphetamines, ecstasy, crack, kiddie cocaine (ritalin) and painkillers.

At its core, the Church of Scientology’s drug prevention campaign is a grass-roots movement made up of people-Scientologists and non—Scientologists alike—who are united in the commitment to take action to combat drug abuse through effective education. After all—while we can keep fighting a war on drugs, it’s evident that unless we address the demand, that war will be lost.

Something can be done about drug abuse. And the component that makes it all possible is, invariably, the dedicated work of individuals—of people.

Some slightly good news for a change:

The United Nations World Drug Report for 2005, released in June 2005 and which contains data up to 2003, states, “Although countries indicating rising levels of drug consumption continue to outnumber those with falling levels of drug use, the proportions have shifted in recent years in a slightly more positive direction. While in 2000, 53% of all reporting countries saw rising levels of drug use, the corresponding proportion fell to 44% in 2003. In parallel, the proportion of countries seeing declines rose from 21% in 2000 to 25% in 2003.”

Did you know that Oxycodone is as powerful as heroin and affects the nervous system the same way? If not, perhaps you should get better informed.

“Scientology Effective Solutions: Saving Lives from Drugs” brochure, provides you with important information about what churches of Scientology and their members are doing about the drug problem.
