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. ------------- With the full implementation of L. Ron Hubbard's policies, advices, directives and technical material, the early 1990s presaged a new era of unprecedented expansion. Among the highlights: Thousands of Scientologists poured into their churches to enroll on the Hubbard Key to Life Course, first made available on May 9, 1990; the March 13, 1991 release of the complete Organization Executive Course and Management Series volumes containing all of L. Ron Hubbard's organizational policies; soon followed by the 18-volume collection of Mr. Hubbard's technical writings. More than 700 invited guests-including leaders of the business community, the arts and political dignitaries-were on hand for the 1991 opening of the L. Ron Hubbard Life Exhibition in Hollywood. Auditor's Day, 1991, celebrated the completion of a 5-year program to compile, verify as totally accurate, and make available all of L. Ron Hubbard's auditing and training technology on the Bridge to Total Freedom. And with this, the final Classification, Gradation and Awareness Chart was released at an event at Saint Hill in England. In July 1992, the newly restored Celebrity Centre International was officially opened to service the many artists in Scientology. And with the iron curtain down, such formerly inaccessible nations as Russia, Hungary and what had been East Germany, were soon reaching for L. Ron Hubbard's technology. To meet their needs, a Sea Org liaison office opened in Russia, while teams flew in to deliver Mr. Hubbard's educational and administrative technologies. And with those formerly Eastern-bloc nations now enjoying Mr. Hubbard's materials-bringing the total number of countries offering Scientology up to 74-new translations of his work followed. In all, there were now 422 translated titles available in 31 languages. Finally, and for another view of just how broad Scientology had become- now that there were 1,039 Scientology organizations, missions and groups around the world-the yearly number of Scientology book sales of 1967 were currently exceeded every day. There were also over 1.5 million auditing hours delivered in 1991-or more auditing in just 12 days than in the whole of 1967, and a 1991 survey revealed that Dianetics and Scientology had become so widely known they were household words. But however great the numbers become-the new preclears and auditors sitting down for their first session, the new readers picking up their first copies of Dianetics-the story of Scientology expansion is still a simple one: Having discovered that L. Ron Hubbard's technology works, people make it known to others.
