FREE On-Line Courses www.volunteerministers.org/home.htmlThe Volunteer Ministers program was launched more than 30 years ago, in response to an appeal by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard. Noting a tremendous downturn in the level of ethics and morality in society, and a consequent increase in drugs and crime, Mr. Hubbard wrote, "If one does not like the crime, cruelty, injustice and violence of this society, he can do something about it. He can become a VOLUNTEER MINISTER and help civilize it, bring it conscience and kindness and love and freedom from travail by instilling into it trust, decency, honesty and tolerance."

WHY SOME FIGHT SCIENTOLOGY StandLeague.org"The holiest saint, the purest knight, the most orderly group alike have been subjected to attacks since Man's beginning. And Scientology is no exception. Since the first release of its basics in 1949, several groups and many people have ineffectually fought its further development and progress. But truth knows no impenetrable barrier and only truth pierces the thickest armor plate. For Scientologists know why it is fought. And, knowing it, can understand more with pity than revenge. There are two classes of enemies that try unsuccessfully to fight Scientology. The first class is the personal opponent, the second is the political opponent. The reasons why they say they fight add up to just one reason: a guilty conscience. If Scientology did not work, it would not be fought. It is a simple thing - has always been a simple thing. A Scientologist can FIND OUT. The secrets of a person who is evilly disposed toward his fellows are not safe around a Scientologist. Subversive politics, intent upon the destruction of the lives and property of a people, depend upon secrecy for their gains. Their private motives are not their advertised slogans. Unfortunately the person who does not want you to study Scientology is your enemy as well as ours. When he harangues against us to you as a "cult", as a "hoax", as a very bad thing done by very bad people, he or she is only saying, 'Please, please, please don't try to find me out.' Thousands of such protesting people carefully investigated by us have been found to have unsavory pasts and sordid motives they did not dare (they felt) permit to come to light. "You must not know more of Scientology" is best answered by no praise of Scientology but by "What have you done?" Beware the person or group who fights Scientology, for that person fights truth - not the truth of natural laws but the truth about himself. It's well worth knowing, we assure you." L. Ron Hubbard Excerpted from CERTAINTY Vol 7, No. 2, Feb 1960

Foundation for a Drug-Free World www.drugfreeworld.org/#/interactiveNo one questions the severity of the drug problem and its devastating impact on youth. Academic results suffer and, even worse, drugs undermine health and destroy young lives. The best solution is to reach young people with effective, fact-based drug education before they start experimenting with drugs.

The Way to Happiness www.thewaytohappiness.org/#/preceptsNo one questions that moral standards have declined over the decades. Skyrocketing drug and alcohol abuse, now all too prevalent among young people, has brought increased crime to schools, cities and countries. Statistics show that proliferation of drugs and escalating violence go hand in hand. Honesty, decency and a sense of self-respect are perverted daily from a multitude of sources. Our youth are exposed to peer pressure, and associations with ill-intentioned people who seek to make their living by destructive means and degradation, without discrimination or scruple. We are committed to making a change using The Way to Happiness, a common sense guide to better living which has been distributed to more than 100 million people in over 100 languages.

Study Technology https://www.scientology.org/courses/study/overview.htmlThe future of our planet will one day rest in the hands of our children. How well equipped will they be to carry society forward? Perhaps the surest gauge is the success with which we are educating them for that role. Sadly, from all indications, this responsibility has not been met. At a time when quality education is more important than during any period in history, our schools are failing at an alarming rate. Typical of the educational problems faced by most Western countries is the tragedy of the United States student. America once had one of the finest educational systems in the world, yet for nearly three decades that system continues to face a formidable crisis. Over 25 percent of all students leaving or graduating high school lack the reading and writing skills required by the minimum demands of daily living. This web site contains a small portion of the entire body of Study Technology developed by L. Ron Hubbard. Regardless, this brief overview contains fundamentals which you can use to study more effectively. With this technology, any subject can be learned by anyone.

How to Taper Off From Antidepressants https://www.theroadback.org/The FDA has published approved guidelines for tapering off these medications. Those guidelines are what the authors published a decade ago and this approach is as effective now as it was in 1999. The American Medical Association published a report in 2010 acknowledging at least 10% of the population will not be able to get off their antidepressant because of the withdrawal side effects. One particular side effect associated with antidepressant withdrawal is the "brain zaps". This is an electrical jolt that runs from the base of the neck to the base of the skull and the jolt can happen several times a day or non-stop.

ADD, ADHD Medication and Stimulants Pre-Taper https://www.theroadback.org/I am assuming you were prescribed this class of medication for Attention Deficit Disorder or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The pre-taper and the supplements used in this program will not only help eliminate withdrawal, but will probably give your body some basic nutrients it was lacking before the diagnosis and are probably one of the root causes of the symptoms you experienced.

Drug Induced Weight Gain Solutions https://www.theroadback.org/Drug-induced weight gain, specifically from antidepressants and antipsychotic medication is common. There are estimates that 25% of all people taking an antidepressant will at some time during treatment experience drug induced weight gain. We were not able to find verifiable statistics with antipsychotic medication, but with the incidence of diabetes being extremely high and other factors commonly seen with prolonged antipsychotic medication usage, the numbers would be as high or higher of weight gain when an antipsychotic medication is used. There are a number of factors associated with the weight gain and when these factors are addressed, weight loss can begin.
