ello, my name is John DeNero, and here is a little bit about myself:

     I've been a Scientologist for about 17 years. I am married and run a successful small business. I became a Scientologist in the early 80's after dabbling in a number of other philosophies.

      Throughout the 70's I became very interested in philosophy because I had a very real sense that I was a spiritual being and philosophy was the subject that tackled such questions. I found that many philosophies professed man's spiritual nature but the theories rarely came down to the practical level. What exactly does it mean to be a spiritual being? What are my abilities? Do I have limitations as a spirit, or, as they say , is "the sky the limit?"

      I received answers to all the questions I had. Scientology answered every one of them where other philosophies did not. When I say that Scientology answered my questions I more aptly mean that it gave me understanding of who I am and what my abilities are.
