Scientology Volunteer Ministers

On Sunday, Cyclone Nargis hit the nation of Myanmar (formerly known as Burma, a country between India and China) and killed in excess of 25,000 people so far. The original report from the military government of Myanmar was a death toll in the hundreds, but there was a belated admission that the cyclone had killed at least 30 times this figure - with 10,000 perished in just one city. The devastation of the area has left several hundred thousand people without shelter and clean water.

The people of this area need our help urgently. A whole team of Volunteer Ministers need to go to Myanmar to start bringing order and delivering the miracles of Volunteer Minister technology.

We cannot just stand back and watch. The situation requires decisive action NOW. We need responsible Volunteer Ministers to bring hope to these people.

SOMETHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT!

"A volunteer minister does not shut his eyes to the pain, evil and injustice of existence. Rather, he is trained to handle these things and help others achieve relief from them and new personal strength as well."  -- LRH

We want to send at least 250 people on an immediate basis. Please contact the Disaster Response Officer at the International VM Office at 1-323-960-1949 or via e-mail or Sei Broadhurst or Donovan Reed at the Continental VM Office in Australia on 011-612-9264-7955.

If you cannot go but still want to help, you can make a donation to directly fund these disaster relief activities and contribute in that way in ensuring others can go.

I would imagine that Scientology Volunteer Ministers have arrived to the Bridge Collapse site in Minneapolis, but haven't seen any pictures yet.  Usually the Scientology Volunteers are the first ones on the scene when something happens, and are the last ones to leave, so it would only stand to reason that they'd be there helping out in whatever capacity is needed.  Anyone have any intel?

One of the primary tools of a Scientology Volunteer Minister is the technology contained in the book, The Problems of Work - one of the first books anyone would read when finding out about Scientology.

Mr. David Miscavige, when releasing a new edition of this book just a few weeks ago, outlined how this book - while providing an excellent introduction into how Scientology can be applied to life, further provides easy solutions that one can use immediately to make work easier. 

Scientology Volunteer Ministers routinely seem to be able to produce miracles, but in many cases it's just a simple application of the technology in this book.

Scientology Volunteer Ministers from Glasgow and the Church of Scientology in Edinburgh, Scotland have been on the ground helping organize relief efforts after the train derailment in Cumbria, UK. 

The Glasgow-bound Pendolino tilting train derailed last Friday at 95 mph in a remote country area, scattering carriages down a steep embankment.

"Investigation of the lock and stretcher bars in the facing points at Lambrigg crossover showed that one of three stretcher bars was missing, and bolts that secured the lock bar and another stretcher bar were not in place," the report said.

Stretcher bars are bolted across the moving rails, keeping them a fixed distance apart from each other.

Network Rail Chief Executive John Armitt said the company was "devastated" and accepted full responsibility: "We now need to understand how the points came to be in this condition -- and we will leave no stone unturned in our search for the facts behind this derailment."

It was said there was no evidence that the bolts had been "wrenched free" and indications were that the points were the immediate cause of the derailment.

Virgin boss Sir Richard Branson said he took "his hat off" to Network Rail for being dignified in accepting responsibility for the accident.

Scientology Volunteer Ministers from neighbouring churches all over northern UK are being activated to come and assist with the effort, to help organize food and provide emergency services.
