The Church of Scientology Video Channel Scientology.org Launches with 82 Scientology Videos

   The Scientology.org Video Channel Answers the Question "What is
Scientology?" While Offering 82 Informative and Engaging Scientology
Videos and Clips Addressing Scientology Beliefs and Humanitarian
Programs
LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
The Church of Scientology announces the launch of the official
www.Scientology.org online video channel.

   Noting that 75% of Internet users watch video online according to
Internet metrics leader Comscore, the Church is excited to announce
this launch to utilize cutting edge technology to more broadly
disseminate information about Scientology via an official Scientology
Video Channel that can be viewed from anywhere there is an Internet
connection.

   Through 82 broadcast-quality videos, comprising almost 3 hours of
content, the Scientology.org Video Channel provides an overview of the
basic beliefs and practices of the religion, as well as information on
the many humanitarian programs sponsored by the Church - programs
addressing drug abuse, illiteracy, human rights and disaster relief.
Included in the online content are statements from Scientology
parishioners themselves expressing why Scientology is their chosen
faith.

   Users can elect to watch any of the Scientology videos or clips
individually, or watch the presentation in its entirety. Additionally,
anyone wanting further information on Scientology at the
Scientology.org video channel can request a free book entitled "A
Description of the Scientology Religion" or obtain basic books about
Scientology or Dianetics by L. Ron Hubbard.

   The Church has produced many videos over the years. They have been
available for viewing by the general public in Church exhibitions
around the world. Sharing the videos with the Internet community is a
logical and immersive extension of that experience that will benefit
video viewing users who can access them 24/7 from any Internet
connection in the world.

   The Church of Scientology has always considered the Internet a
resource for sharing accurate information about the religion -
concentrating on using the Internet to promote its message and mission
in the world. Since 1996, Church sites have provided hundreds of
thousands of individual pages of material and images on the religion.
These sites are available in most major languages and are visited by
tens of millions each year. Now, online video technology will better
enable the Church to provide far more expansive and enlightening
information.

   The Church firmly believes that understanding is achieved through
knowledge and information. It is in this spirit that the Church is
putting this special video channel online designed to answer the
question most often asked: What is Scientology?

   The Church of Scientology encourages anyone desiring information
about the Scientology religion to visit the Church Video Channel at
www.Scientology.org.
