Something CAN be done about world conditions

I've been a Scientologist for many years.  From studying the works of  L. Ron Hubbard I've gained a much better understanding of why people behave as they do.

I know that the crime, war and poverty we are surrounded with is NOT a necessary condition.

People CAN change.  The social and personal conditions that underlie crime and even terrorism CAN be addressed and handled.  Sure it will take a lot of work but when you have the technology to improve conditions it is just a matter of applying it exactly.  Fortunately L. Ron Hubbard did research and developed that technology -- it is called Scientology applied religious philosophy.    And also, thanks to the diligence of Religious Technology Center, headed by Mr. David Miscavige, that technology has remained pure and exact and so it does continue to work.

Here is a success story I found on the web site of Criminon, the social betterment program supported by Churches of Scientology and using the technology of L. Ron Hubbard

This is a personal account by a prison inmate on how his experience with L. Ron Hubbard's works, through the Criminon program, has restored to him the self-respect he needed to leave behind a criminal past and adopt a moral code that includes the respect of others and their property:

Dear Criminon,

I cannot thank you enough for the opportunity to enroll in and be a participant in the Criminon Rehabilitation Program. “The Way to Happiness” extension course has been for me an eye-opening, life-changing experience, and one which has blessed my personal life and well-being tremendously. Never in all the years of my incarceration have I been moved to again hope and believe in the future, or inspired to change, truly, truly change as I have now been so moved and inspired to do, in order to become a better, brighter and far more benevolent person. The many precepts taught and promoted within this course are not only vital to my own peace of mind and peaceful interaction with prison life, but are also invaluable to me making it successfully out in the streets. And to think that I’ve only just begun to engage upon this newfound path and journey. So I am excited about all that the future holds in store for me. For me, two words define clearly the overall message of “The Way to Happiness” extension course: Truth and Love. Truth to oneself and honest interaction with our fellow man, Love of life and love for the world we live in and love towards our fellow man, but even more importantly that we love ourselves. Again, Thank You, Criminon.

Sincerely, S.O
