Why a Scientologist Volunteers
A enjoyed reading this posting on the Motime Scientology Volunteer blog about why one Scientologist dropped everything to help after Katrina:Why They Volunteer
I aksed a friend of mine who dropped everything at his business last year to go to Katrina as part of the Scientology Disaster Relief Team, why he went.
Scientology Volunteer Ministers
Disaster Relief
Here's what he said: "I took one look at what was going on, on TV - saw the people crammed into the Superdome, and realized I just couldn't leave it to someone else."As a Scientology Volunteer Minister, I felt like - okay - I can do something to handle this mess. There are enough people sitting around watching this. I need to ACT.
"I knew my business would suffer - it's an important time for my company. We do a lot of our business leading up to Christmas, and September is a crucial month for us. But could I live with myself if I didn't go? No.
"And it was the most rewarding thing I've ever done."
There's one thing I could add to what he said, and that is from "The Code of a Scientologist,"
As a Scientologist, I pledge myself to ... use the best I know of Scientology to the best of my ability to help my family, friends, groups and the world."
