Many falsehoods and inaccurate statements regarding several aspects
of the religion of Scientology have been observed on ars.
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.

                         -------------


Churches and missions produce their own periodicals which are regularly
mailed to their members.

Three of the Church's more important publications are THE AUDITOR,
the magazine of all Saint Hill Organizations, SOURCE magazine,
the publication of the Flag Service Organization and ADVANCE!
which is the magazine of the Advanced Organizations. Their increasing
circulation reflects the constant growth of these organizations.

Local Scientology churches also produce their own magazines to keep
members informed of local church activities, services and completions.
From 1982 to 1992 the circulation of these magazines increased more
than fourfold.

The Celebrity Centres' magazine, CELEBRITY, was started in the
early 1970s and by 1975 it had a circulation of 20,000. Today, its
distribution has risen over 300%.

In 1985, a new publication was introduced to keep Scientologists
informed of worldwide expansion. This magazine, INTERNATIONAL SCIENTOLOGY
NEWS, which is distributed to staff and parishioners in churches
and missions, had an initial printing of 30,000 and in its first
seven years grew by over 40 times to a circulation of 1,300,000 in
1992.
