Young Scientology Volunteer Ministers in India use Volunteer Minister website to download emergency information

Young Scientology Volunteer Ministers, Nick and Erin, spent several weeks in India this year to help teach kids in the slums of Kolkata. Living right in the heart of the city, Erin came down with a bad stomach bug. Even though it is very common for those traveling in India to get sick, illnesses like this can be severe and Erin was suffering from acute dehydration.

“She couldn’t keep down any food,” said Nick. “We called a doctor first and he gave her the medicine she needed but it wasn’t kicking in. So I knew I had to give her a Scientology Assist.”

Scientology Assists are techniques, developed by L. Ron Hubbard, that give people relief when they are suffering from an illness or injury. Done in conjunction with medical treatment, assists can greatly speed healing and recovery time.

“I couldn’t remember how to do one particular Assist, but fortunately we had Internet access,” said Nick. “India’s bizarre like that, we had no hot water but we had Internet access!” said Erin.

“So I went onto the Scientology Volunteer Ministers web site,” continued Nick, “found the booklet called ‘Assists for Illnesses and Injuries’, and I downloaded it—straight to the desktop on my laptop! I opened it and started the Assist. Erin’s fever dropped, and she stopped throwing up. I did the Assist two more times in the early morning and the next day she was recovering. I had actually forgotten that these booklets were available online, and was cursing myself for not having my own copy with me. Then I remembered the new website!” he said.

The Scientology Volunteer Minister site provides tools for improving conditions. Free courses are also available through the site so you can learn to apply the information to your own life and those around you.

These free Scientology courses provide help with such things as marriage problems, trouble with relationships, raising children, difficulties on the job and overcoming stress, anxiety and depression. These are self-guided courses, meaning people move through them at their own pace. Each course includes practical exercises where students get hands-on experience in applying the data. The courses are supervised by trained extension course supervisors who ensure the students can use the material and provide feedback, guidance and help where needed.

The hallmark of the Scientology Volunteer Minister, as described by Scientology leader, David Miscavige, is his or her “indiscriminate acts of kindness and compassion.” To contact a Scientology Volunteer Minister visit the web site at http://www.volunteerministers.org/#/contact.

Just about anyone who is involved in disaster relief can benefit from learning about the techniques in the Scientology Handbook.

I've found some people have the misconception that you have to be a Scientologist to by a Scientology Volunteer Ministers or use the techniques. That's absolutely not true.

And I think you will find if you speak to some Scientologists that no one cares what you are as long as you use this technology by L. Ron Hubbard and pass it on to others so they find out about it and use it too.

The only other thing a Scientologist would ask is that you use it as it is written and don't alter it, because Scientology is a precise technology and it works when it is applied exactly.

Scientology Disaster Relief

Disaster Relief wasn't actually the original intention for the Scientology Volunteer Ministers movement. But it lends itself to that kind of scene so well.

For several reasons:

1. Scientologists feel responsible to help at those times, when people need their ability to calm things down, restore order and help at a time when communication lines and organization is usually fatally interrupted.

2. Assist technology (as described in the Scientology Handbook) is so effective at these times.

3. Scientologists are, from my personal experience, very caring people who are dependable and have taken disasters on as their responsibility.

Disaster Watch

Here's a good site to blookmark for information about disasters in the US (there is also information about the rest of the world but the concentration is on America.
