Scientology YouTube Video Channel
Launches Meet a Scientologist Videos
August 18, 2009
The Church of Scientology YouTube Channel is releasing 50 new
“Meet a Scientologist” testimonial videos, featuring documentary
video clips of Scientologists from various professional
backgrounds, their stories about what Scientology is, and how
practicing Scientology religious beliefs has impacted their
lives.
The Church of Scientology International is launching a series of
testimonial videos on its
official You
T
u
b
e
Channel
called “Meet a Scientologist,” which showcase the
lives and careers of everyday Scientologists. YouTube users will be
able to view 50 videos to start, with 100 more videos scheduled to
follow in the upcoming months as part of the Church’s continuing
efforts to expand its presence in the world’s largest online video
community.
The
“Meet a
S
c
ie
n
tologist”
videos, which
were shot on location, focus on individual Scientologists who
explain how the religion has helped them, whether by teaching
effective communication skills, learning to be confident in their
abilities, or generally improving their life. Videos highlight
members of Scientology from all over the world and all kinds of
professions, including doctors, educators, inventors, athletes,
actors, musicians, students, photographers, business owners and
more.
These new videos are based on one of the core principles of the
Scientology religion. L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Church of
Scientology, discovered that understanding is composed of affinity,
reality and communication. With the conviction that this applies to
any aspect of life, the
Church of Scient
o
logy
seeks
to increase understanding of Scientology and Scientologists by
applying this principle to online video, while at the same time,
providing information through personal stories.
A pioneer and leader in the online religious community, the
Church of
Sc
i
e
ntology
was the first religion to
create its own official YouTube Video Channel in April 2008, with
82 broadcast-quality videos comprising nearly three hours of
content in a unique video player. To date, it has been seen by over
2 million visitors. The Church of Scientology has also launched an
online public information campaign with 30 and 60-second flash
presentation conveying the essence of Scientology. These spots
address the most fundamental questions people ask about
life–questions for which Scientology has effective answers.
