Christian Science
Can anyone tell me anything about this organisation? Has anyone had any dealings with them? Does anyone know anyone who is a member or has participated? Any info would be useful. Thanks

Re: Christian Science
I once went out with someone whose auntie was a Christian Scientist and she believed that illness was all in the mind but that may not have been official doctrine.

Re: Christian Science
It is still there next to the Vauxhall garage. The old building was replaced by a smaller more modern one set further back from the road. More or less opposite the end of Alice Street.

Re: Christian Science
Yes it's definately one of those 'trendy religions' amongst the Hollywood A-listers.....Madonna is a follower of it aswell I think.

Re: Christian Science
The only thing I know about Christian Scientists is that Nancy Astor, the first woman to take her seat in the House of Commons, was one.

Re: Christian Science
Is there a difference between Christian Science and say Muslim or Jewish Science?

Re: Christian Science
Once went to one of their meetings with a friend who was a 'member'.They believe in communication with dead souls, etc., and had had a scarey experience on a ouija board, and thought they could offer some comfort, however, after the visiting medium had pointed me out stating they had a message from Aunt Mary? "Sorry No" says I "Uncle Fred, cousin Sam, Uncle Tom Cobbler and all ?" After negative answers from myself, decided to give up the ghost so to speak.
