The purpose of this message is to give you a sample of the true data from the book 'What is Scientology?' and show you where you can look to get the full contents of this book. ------------- "I expect the Church of Scientology increasingly to contribute positively to interfaith understanding in a true spirit of dialogue. This will be a valuable and welcome development. Such cooperation and dialogue will, in itself, help to break down barriers and increase trust, and will produce a broad stream of people of faith and ethics seeking and working for world peace." REV. BRIAN COOPER CHAIRMAN CHRISTIAN PEACE CONFERENCE ENGLAND "I am confident that the Church of Scientology will continue to be on the cutting edge of government reform simply because the Church has been doing it for years and doing it well. Scientology does this type of work better than any other organization in the country." WAYNE C. BENTSON FOIA SPECIALIST WESTERN INFORMATION NETWORK "The Church is expanding more and more rapidly from what I see on the TV and on the radio. The Church will move into the mainstream of society. Scientology will be the focus point in the 1990s and will set the direction in which this country will go. "Scientology will be known as the place to go where people really care." BILL HOSTON POLITICAL ACTIVIST LOS ANGELES "Scientology offers a true bridge between the East and the West and Scientologists can effectively help solve the great problems that plague both cultures. "Scientology will become a major religion in the Western world before the end of the century." LOEK HOPSTAKEN POSTAL MANAGER AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS "As an attorney, concerned resident of Hollywood and former Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce I wanted you to know that we are proud of Scientology's accomplishments here in 'Tinsel Town.' Please, continue to let your 'light shine' and share your success with others. "The Church has been active in the Hollywood area for over a decade and continue to be 'excellent' citizens, good neighbors and a positive influence in the community." JOHN O. ADAMS, ESQ. HONORARY DIRECTOR HOLLYWOOD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE "I see the Church of Scientology becoming a very strong community structure. What I see happening is [a] continued reach out to assist those who are not members and the formation of a working unit with the Church made up of people of all religions." LESTER SMITH, JR. FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT OF THE NATURAL HIGH ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, CALIFORNIA "I would see the Church of Scientology being a part of all the other churches who recognize that there must be a new direction and a coming together of all churches for the betterment of mankind. "Each Church has its unique role. Basically I see the role of the Church of Scientology as cleaning man's thinking, redirecting man's thinking, because obviously the old thought process has gotten us in the mess that we have. We must look at old values, old ways of doing things and not be afraid to question. And if we find that these values are incorrect in view of new enlightenment, then be willing to change - not feel threatened by new ideas, but embrace them and give them a chance to be proved or disproved." REV. E.L. WOODS PASTOR OF EBONY MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA "The laws of our land are often administered in an unfair and unequal manner. In the future, however, I see the technology of the Church of Scientology assisting those in the judicial system in equitably administering these laws. In this manner, the judicial system can effectively contribute to bringing about the aims of Scientology as outlined by L. Ron Hubbard." REGINIA ROGERS JACKSON ATTORNEY WASHINGTON, DC "Scientology's Citizens Commission on Human Rights is fighting a cause, the abuses of psychiatry and the devastation of their drugs to which the general public is beginning to awaken. They are creating a safer world for us all." ANN TRACY PROZAC SURVIVORS SUPPORT GROUP DIRECTOR UTAH BRANCH "It is obvious that the Church of Scientology feels a moral responsibility to attack serious social problems and improve conditions. I see the Church building on this background and expanding its activities into the practical hard-nosed field of education where it can play a major role in resolving some of the bitter conflicts which are preventing the proper education of our children. We need our children to be literate to have real-world skills. I see the Church of Scientology playing a major role in making this happen." PATRICK GROFF, ED.D.
