Some Info From a Different View
So now that you have been introduced to Scientology in many different ways from my previous posts, let me tell you a little about my experience in growing up in Seattle.
Seattle is one of the most beautiful cities in the U.S. You can literally go anywhere around there and be awed by the beauty and unique look of this city. The main attraction is obviously the Space Needle. I remember going there with my mom on my birthday and we went to the top and it is actually a revolving restraunt! It was awesome.
I moved to California about 7 years ago and in that time, they built this building that is a tribute to Jimmy Hendrix. From what I heard, it is supposed to be a smashed guitar or something like that; then the monorail runs through it. Just about anywhere you go in Seattle, you can look and see Mount Rainier; it's so beautiful, it looks like it is floating on the clouds. Now, believe it or not, you can still go into the city and ride around in a horse carriage on a tour. Oh yeah, and you cannot forget "the Flying Fish"...
Now, since my parents' religion was Scientology, we often went to the Seattle Church which used to be located on 3rd Ave, but is now located only a few blocks away from the Space Needle and Seattle Center. So that is how they raised me, using L. Ron Hubbard's technology on rearing children, etc. They did not pick this religion for me, they left it up to me to decide what I wanted to do. They always let me go with my friends to their churches, mainly Christian and I even went on camping trips with those church youth groups too. So I was allowed to see for myself what religious path I wanted to follow. I discovered in Scientology that you do not need to strictly be a Scientologist; you can be a Christian and have your own beliefs and still be a Scientologist, you could be Catholic, anything. Scientology is simply an applied religious philosophy, founded by L. Ron Hubbard, to help improve Man as a spiritual being. So this is what I apply and use every day of my life. Scientology addresses many areas of concern to a person or society, such as: crime, immorality, drugs, Human Rights, Volunteer Minister activities, marriage, children, communication, education, and much more.
There are also many other Churches around the globe, literally from Australia to Europe, Africa to U.S.A. They're everywhere, not just in Seattle. Click here to find the one near you.
