The latest edition of Impact Magazine is available online to IAS members
Being devoted to helping one's fellow man is an inherent part of calling oneself a Scientologist.
One agrees to this by subscribing to The Code of a Scientologist, written by L. Ron Hubbard in 1954, which includes such commitments as:
"To decry and do all I can to abolish any and all abuses against life and mankind,"
"To help clean up and keep clean the field of mental health.
"To support true humanitarian endeavors in the fields of human rights," and, "To make this world a saner, better place."
The International Association of Scientologists, or IAS, was launched in 1984 at Ron's home, Saint Hill Manor in Sussex, England.
Its creation was marked by a new pledge that characterized the group and set the tone and standard of its future activities.
Called the Pledge to Mankind, it states, "We, the undersigned, pledge ourselves, without reservation or any thought of personal comfort or safety, to achieving the aims of Scientology: 'A civilization without insanity, without war, where the able can prosper and honest beings can have rights, and where Man is free to rise to greater heights."
Over the past two decades the IAS has lived up to its original goals.
Massive campaigns, funded entirely by IAS members, have made real inroads in the fields of drug prevention, drug rehabilitation, criminal reform, literacy and human rights.
To "clean up and keep clean the field of mental health" the IAS sponsors campaigns of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights, include the establishment of their "Psychiatry — and Industry of Death Museum" in Hollywood, California; traveling exhibits modeled after the museum which take the museum's multimedia presentation to major cities around the world, and a state of the art DVD by the same title which bring this same hard-hitting exposé into homes and offices anywhere on earth, so anyone can learn the truth about psychiatry and take action to bring about urgently needed reform in this area.
The IAS also funds campaigns of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers, whose bright yellow t-shirts and tents have become a symbol for help in disaster after disaster since 9/11. The IAS has sponsored continental Volunteer Ministers cavalcades and Goodwill Tours that bring help through the technology of L. Ron Hubbard to every corner of the world.
IAS members and non-members alike can learn about these and many other programs sponsored by the IAS on their web site, www.iasmembership.org. On the site one can also join the IAS or upgrade his status as a donor to help fund these and other vitally needed programs.
Now, on the web site, members of the International Association of Scientologists can also read the latest edition of Impact Magazine online by logging in with their IAS membership number. Each issue of the magazine takes up one of the many programs IAS members sponsor and features stellar examples of what IAS members do to accomplish The Aims of Scientology.
