Talks on Scientology Delivered to Millennials and Baby Boomers

"While the presentations were held on separate days and the guests' ages ranged from their 20s to their 80s, the one thing they shared in common was their curiosity about Scientology, and their desire to learn about its beliefs and principles for themselves," said Ms. Amber Skjelset, the Scientology Information Center's Manager.

During each presentation, Ms. Skjelset welcomed the guests, 45 in all, and provided a description about how the Church of Scientology Flag Service Organization is the international spiritual headquarters, and that there are Scientology Churches and groups spanning 6 continents and 167 nations.

Guests watched videos from the new Scientology TV network which provided an overview of the religious services and beliefs of Scientology. Following the videos, guests were able to ask questions, get further information and materials and get any misconceptions cleared up.

One student summed up the talk by saying, "I've lived in Largo all my life and I had no idea what Scientology really was. I understand it better now."

The Scientology Information Center is open daily from 10am-10pm for self-guided tours. Group presentations for the community at the Center can be scheduled by contacting the Manager, Ms. Amber Skjelset, at 727-467-6966 or e-mail her atamber@cos.flag.org.

THE SCIENTOLOGY INFORMATION CENTER:

The 100 year-old historic Clearwater Building was purchased by the Church of Scientology in 1975. Built in 1918, the property originally served as the Bank of Clearwater. In 2015, it was re-opened to the public as the Scientology Information Center where the community can learn about Scientology and its beliefs or attend community events.
