Und jetzt … ein Scientology-Buchhandlung in Berlin!

No, I don’t speak German.  But approximately 100 million people around the world do, and is high time that they could find out about Scientology by browsing their on-line Scientology Materials Guide Chart, and getting their first book in Scientology to answer the burning question that’s all over the media — i.e., “Was ist Scientology?“

Die neue Buchhandlung der Scientology Kirche von Berlin!

There has been an immense amount of public reach and interest on Scientology ever since the new Church of Scientology of Berlin opened its doors in January 2007.     The Church itself ended up expanding by a factor of over 5 times, in terms of staffing, to handle the inflow of public wanting to get involved in Scientology.

But as impressive as the new Church is in Berlin, the best wasy to find out what Scientology is and how it can help, is through the pages of a book.  That way, you’re not dealing with anyone’s interpretation of the religion, but you are instead allowed to just sit on your own and formulate your own thoughts and conclusions about it.

Über Scientology auf Deutsch erlernen

All of the hubub about Tom Cruise en Deutschland with his making of the movie Valkyrie has generated waves of people trying to find out what Scientology is.  Odd, seeing as though the film has nothing whatever to do with Scientology, but it doesn’t matter — Mr. Cruise and the religion are inextricably related, and as such people will have questions whenever his name is mentioned.

In Berlin, to meet the demand for knowledge of Scientology, the massive Church of Scientology which was opened in January of this year is now selling German Scientology books on the Internet.  These are the new Scientology Basics by L. Ron Hubbard, released by Mr. David Miscavige in July of this year.

For a beginners’s introduction to Scientology, the best book to start with is Problems of Work (Die Probleme der Arbeit, en Deutsch).  Other titles are available as well, including Dianetics (Dianetik),  and Scientology: Fundamentals of Thought (Scientology: Die Grundlagen des Denkens). 

Each are also available with Extension Courses  you can do in that Church.

These are also avaliable in other German Churches as well, such as the Church of Scientology in Munich.

Scientology Church in Boston – from the Air

I figured I’d start a new little series on this blog, and show you some Churches of Scientology as taken from the new, terribly nifty feature of Google Earth, where it also shows 3D buildings as well as the satillite images.

This one is of the Church of Scientology of Boston, which was where I did some of my first Scientology courses. It’s in the heart of Boston’s Back Bay, a short walk from the Prudential Building and John Hancock building, and with a rocking view of the fireworks on the 4th of July.

Church of Scientology of Buffalo – A Historic Landmark in the City

I’ve earlier posted on the Church of Scientology of Buffalo, and its newly-renovated building that I was priviliged to be at the grand opening of.

Just in trolling around the web recenty, I found an article on the architectural history of Buffalo specifically mentioning the Church of Scientology’s building on Main Street. Having been there, I definitely thought it quite interesting as there is a ton of absolutely stunning architecture in the area, and I thought it very fitting indeed that the Church was mentioned in this.

It was an immense team of Scientologists from all around the world that made this happen, with people flying in from all parts of the Eastern and Western united states, and as far afield as Hungary.  It was really a test to show that an ideal, perfect Scientology organization could be put together anywhere – and which has inspired many other organizations to do similarly.

Other Grand Openings:

• Church of Scientology of London
• Church of Scientology of Madrid
• Church of Scientology of New York
• Church of Scientology of San Francisco
• Church of Scientology of Johannesburg

Scientology Church in Seattle Soon Moving in to Larger Quarters

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.
