Tom Cruise on Scientology

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

In case you are the last person in the free world to hear about it, this video burst on the scene a few days ago.

Here are some notes I found to help as you watch:

Definitions:

*KSW (short for Keeping Scientology Working): A policy written byHubbard in the 1960’s that requires all Scientologists to follow hiswords and his rules exactly.”

Orgs: Orgs is an abbreviation for “organizations” and describes allchurches of Scientology throughout the world.

*David Miscavige: He is the current leader of Scientology. He’s theequivalent of the Pope to the Catholics.*Out-ethics: any behavior that violates any of Hubbard’s rules of conduct.

*Put ethics in on someone else: make others conform to Hubbard’s rulesof behavior.

*Criminon: Scientology front group that tries to recruit through the prisons.

* SP: Suppressive Person. Anyone that doesn’t like Scientology and/orcriticizes Scientology.

*PTS/SP: another Hubbard term to define behavior that goesagainst Scientology rules.

*LRH technology or “tech”: all the Scientology policies, rules,mandates, procedures.

I found this just recently as an interesting response to Scientology.

Certainly the video has a radical agenda that I do NOT endorse, but I find some of the observations to be quite thought provoking. No doubt both videos will provoke strong reaction.

Judge for yourself.

Discuss.

Terribly terribly sad.

Apparently, he & Michelle Williams have a two-year old daughter.

Just feeling very tired of bad news tonight…

Fred Thompson bowed out of the presidential race today. Better luck on screen, my Tennessean friend.
