They have assembled a compilation of articles and web sites on the Scientology religion and other new religions, and seek to present a balanced and temperate view on an often explosive subject - new religious movements.

Scientology and Children

I read the wierdest commentary on what Scientologists believe about raising kids today, that I had to comment and post the truth.

There's what L. Ron Hubbard says about the raising of children:

“A good, stable adult with love and tolerance in his heart is about the best therapy a child can have.”

So much for tabloid "controversy."
