The Church of Scientology London is now offering a Personality test right off of their website. The test is 200 questions long, and measures what you think about yourself. Things like your general ability, how you treat others, how you behave in relationships, etc can be measured using this test.

The results then get sent to an expert evaluator, and you can then have the test evaluated for free.

Have a look!

I don’t think I need to describe the disaster in more detail.

Now, I’m back here in the U.S. I’m not in a position where I can go to

Melbourne and help out with this. But I can tell people about it, and

so can you, because some very tired people in Victoria (namely

firefighters and the handful of Red Cross and Scientology Volunteer

Ministers that are on the ground assisting them) that are duking it out

with this thing.

Can you do something to help?

Funds are needed to support the volunteers. If you can help, go to the Volunteer Ministers website and fill out the contact form they have there. They’ll accept any help from anyone anywhere.

There have been so many miracle stories that have come in from the Scientology Volunteer Minister activities in the Philippines.

Two young girls they helped were devastated. Having lost both parents in the typhoon, they were overwhelmed with grief. They calmed down, stopped crying and both of them experienced some relief. Nothing the Volunteer Minister could do would bring their parents back, but at least they could now get on with their own lives, and start caring for themselves and each other.

In another room the volunteers helped a whole family that seemed to have given up after their home was destroyed. It started with an assist to a woman who was clearly very sad. She was lying listlessly on a mattress on the floor, and told the volunteer she felt very lonely. After her assist she got off the floor and started watching the volunteer as he gave an assist to a little girl nearby. She was so interested that he asked her if she wanted to learn how to do this too. She was very emphatic when she said she did, because the child the volunteer had just helped was now giggling and smiling. And that child was her daughter. The volunteer then taught the mother and daughter how to use this technique and the daughter gave an assist to her father. When she began the assist, her father was lying down and said he couldn't move. But after his assist he felt much more energetic and he got up to prove it!

Scientology Volunteers Needed to Combat Australian and Tasmanian Bushfires

Yahoo! News shows this map of the Australian Bushfires:

Dozens of houses were destroyed by rampaging wildfires in Australia, fire authorities said, as the nation grappled with the growing emergency.

The fire line of the bushfires is now apparently over 270 km long.

From what I heard, it's already burned an area of Victoria, Australia, which is roughly the size of the country of Luxembourg. The Scientology Volunteer Ministers are on the ground there now, though I've not heard anything else than what's on the Scientology Volunteer Ministers site right now.

If you have any way of helping, contact the Scientology Volunteer Ministers Coordinator.

Serious assistance is still needed by the firefighters who are combatting runaway bushfires in Victoria in Australia. With over 3000 firefighters on the ground and almost no support personnel backing them up, they need help bad.

Scientology Volunteer Ministers are there in force, but need much more assistance to keep the firefighters fighting the fires, and emergency response personnel organized and coordinated.

If you can help, contact the Scientology Volunteer Ministers now.

Scientology Volunteer Ministers - What Makes them Effective

There are two major disasters going on right now in the ANZO area (Australia, New Zealand and Oceania) -- with the fires going on in Victoria, and the Typhoon which just hit in the Philippines. Now, Volunteer Minister teams are being dispatched to both locations -- but what are the technologies they use which makes them so effective? Governments praise them, the people on the ground wonder at why they can just get in and get things done -- but they're just people.

What's the difference between what they've got and what other groups might lack? The difference is that Scientology Volunteer Ministers are studied and drilled heaviliy in L. Ron Hubbard's organization technology -- for handling situations which seemingly are a confusing mass.

They're also drilled on L. Ron Hubbard's Scientology Assist Technology, which is a technology anyone can learn to help others. That in itself -- that anyone can learn it -- is something that Scientology Volunteer Ministers use to the hilt -- because when only a few hundred Scientology Volunteers hit a three-state disaster zone line Hurricane Katrina was, it's imperative that as many people as possible become empowered to themselves provide effective help to each other.

So, as an engineer concerned with Technology, that's where I salute the PEOPLE technologies like was created by L. Ron Hubbard and is put to use by Scientology Volunteer Ministers all over. I learned it -- and I think anyone else who could possibly run into similar such situations (which, if you live on earth, is you) -- should learn it.

As a public service, and in response to the many requests from emergency response personnel and agencies, Scientology Disaster Relief training is being made available to any group or individual wanting to learn the organizational skills and techniques for handling trauma and confusion for which the Scientology Volunteer Ministers are famous.

A Volunteer Minister demonstrates Scientology "Assists" to two of the firefighters. Assists are techniques developed by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. They are invaluable to emergency response personnel as they are used to alleviate stress and trauma, or to orient a confused or distraught individual to his present environment.

The Volunteer Minister Disaster Response Specialist Course is a short, simple course delivered in our traveling Volunteer Minister Cavalcade tents or on site to organizations around the world.

Based on The Scientology Handbook the training is available at hundreds of organizations around the world, in over 20 different languages.

Learning about study technology developed by L. Ron Hubbard Mohammad Khalil Ullah has established free study centers to give children in the slums of Kolkata, India a chance to succeed in life.

In India, 135 million children do not attend school. That means that with no prospect for gaining the skills school can provide for them, the equivalent of nearly half the population of the entire United States has little prospect of ever moving themselves out of the poverty that dominates their lives.

When the Scientology Volunteer Ministers Goodwill Tour arrived in Kolkata, earlier this year, one of the first people they met was Mohammad Khalil Ullah, a humanitarian who has been working to improve the lives of his people.

Church of Scientology Johannesburg: Grand Opening, Mr. David Miscavige, Chairman of the Board Religious Technology Center

Okay - so I’m definitely liking the Flock thing for Blogging. Works great with my Wordpress blog. However, part of what I wanted to do with this was basically replace the functionality I have with Stumbleupon with a blog-based setup like this.

However, the only thing I have been able to get to work so far in Flock has been my Wordpress blog. A brand-new blogger blog I set up expressly to use for this won’t work. Another existing blog from long ago won’t work. API stuff didn’t work. Hm. Well, I guess I’m sticking with Wordpress then.

I was going to use that Blogger blog to blog about Johannesburg - which I love dearly, and wished I could be at for the Grand Opening of their new space. However, once again, it lands here on Wordpress.

Larger Quarters for Scientology in Seattle

Due to the recent popularity of Scientology in the Pacific Northwest, the Church of Scientology of Washington State, in Seattle, Washington, has purchased larger quarters overlooking Puget Sound.

The organization is dramatically larger than their current premises, so as to properly be able to service the Scientologists in the Seattle area. The Church of Scientology of Seattle is also responsible for many Scientology missions around the Pacific Northwest, from Bellingham, WA, all the way out to Kalispell in Montana.

Scientologists, spurred on by the recent opening of the new Church of Scientology of London by Mr. David Miscavige, are gearing up on renovations to get this Church completed by the beginning of 2007.

Scientology Missions all over South Africa

November 4th, 2006

Ever since the Grand Opening of the Central Church of Scientology of South Africa in Johannesburg in 2003 (with Mr. David Miscavige as keynote speaker for the event), the Church there has been taking an ever-increasing role in terms of responsibility to the community as well as for expanding Scientology activities throughout the continent.

Of note recently:

31 March: The Scientology Volunteer Ministers Goodwill Tour, working in Maun, Botswana, work with government, civic and community leaders to make the technology of L. Ron Hubbard broadly available.

21 June: Drug-Free Marshals and East Wave FM teamed up and visited some of the primary school in Lenasia, South Africa. Their purpose was to provide a message about the life-ruining dangers of drugs and to hand out information fliers about the effects of drugs like dagga (cannabis), cocaine, mandrax (a synthetic drug that is highly addictive), alcohol, heroin and ecstasy.

Saw a nifty one on the Sun Times (an ANZO newspaper):

The revamped building is a short walk from St Paul's Cathedral, and sits next to an Anglican church. Some parishioners walked out of the church following their Sunday service and stayed to watch the ceremony.

The ceremony started with a procession by the London Scottish Regimental Pipe and Drum Band, finishing with an explosion of multi-coloured ticker tape. Scientology leader David Miscavige addressed the several hundred Scientologists who attended the outdoor ceremony, describing the occasion as "momentous".

"This day will go down in history. Of all the foreign lands where LRH (Hubbard) lived and worked, he called England home," Miscavige declared.

A Most Special Guest, Mr. David Miscavige

The event was capped by the appearance of senior Scientology executive Mr. David Miscavige, Chairman of Religious Technology Center, custodian of the religious scriptures of Scientology.

Mr. David Miscavige’s presence to dedicate and open the new church was significant, both for him, personally, as a first-time visitor to the country, as well as for the parishioners of the 45-year-old Johannesburg church. “It is my honor to address you, to walk in a land where L. Ron Hubbard laid so many milestones, and on this, your milestone day,” he stated.

Scientology Volunteer Ministers - New Website

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers just put up a new website at www.volunteerministers.org.

The site makes it much eaiser to find out about the Volunteer Ministers, but really, I think, shows how big and productive this group has become. They are now the largest independent relief force in the world!

I definitely get from this the communication that Mr. David Miscavige said in his speech on Volunteer Ministers, "So when it comes to helping those in most desperate need, we not only know we can help, we are doing something about it."
