ello, my name is Vahe Kantarjian, and here is a little bit about myself:

     I was born in Beirut, Lebanon. I came to the United States in 1980 after being in the civil war there for 5 years. I live in Boston, Massachusetts. I am a jeweler. I have had my own business since 1987.

     I do not like to see man's inhumanity to man. I was born to Armenian parents and growing up hearing about an Armenian Genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman Turks during the World War I (and prior to it). I got interested in Scientology because it's stated aim is "A civilization without insanity without criminals and where the able can prosper and honest beings can have rights and where man is free to rise to greater heights." The method to achieve these aims is not by punishment but a special technology researched and tested time and time again to be workable.

     I also have a lot of interest in philosophy and one thing I can attest to is that Scientology is a philosophy such as the philosophies of Socrates, Aristotle, Plato, etc., and it is put into a workable context.
