Well, that's what they should mean.

SP - Suppressive Person. It's a term often associated with enemies & critics of the church.

KSW - Keep Scientology Working. A policy letter written by L. Ron Hubbard that all Scientologists must study consistently. It has something to do with the ethics protocol Scientologists must follow.


Tom also mentions Criminon which is a program using Hubbard's techniques which are used to rehabilitate criminals.

I think that's Crimanon. And there's also Narcanon.

Watch the South Park episode. When they say "this is what Scientologists really believe" they're NOT LYING.

Crazy shit.

^^^LOL.

I hadn't heard about the Elfman incident.

My favorite part of the article is this:

Roecker says Jenna repeatedly said "What crimes have you committed?" and began screaming at Roecker, "Have you raped a baby?" as motorists on Los Feliz Boulevard drove by in snarled traffic.

How do these people NOT understand that they sound like complete lunatics? At some point wouldn't you sort of step outside yourself and observe something like: "Gosh. I sound like an alien from another planet."

ksw is "keep scientlogy working" (i think) it was posted from the msg board under the video. OK that was some creepy footage of him and this insane cult.

Ok so I got through 5.5 minutes before I almost barfed out of boredom......

In case anyone didn't know their "church/flagship" is in Clearwater, FL, less than a half an hour where I grew up. Basically the church owns all of downtown, and there are crazy people walking around in white shirts with ties....it is very freaky, and I say this having been exposed to it at a young age...

Was this an interview or a pitch? It looked like an interview and sounded odd because we're not hearing the questions. LOL!

We need to set up a task force to save Suri, Jaden, J.Lo's unborn child and any other Hollywood kid under 12 whose parents are Scientologists or rumoured to be.

Oh, this ain't even the weird part. We haven't even talked about Xenu and the Galactic Confederacy, or thetans. (Just say "no" to going to Venus after you die.)

Like I said before, Tom Cruise was awarded the Freedom Medal of Valor at an International Association of Scientologists event held in the U.K. in October, 2004. This was the video that was shown to the audience to introduce him, kind of the way they do a video at the Oscars about whoever is getting the Lifetime Achievement Award. If you can make it all the way to the end of the video, you can hear audience applause and see TC being introduced and coming on stage to receive the award.

Wow, now I am REALLY disturbed. More than I ever knew (or wanted to know). How in crap are all these (supposedly intelligent) people falling for this??!? He was a SCIENCE FICTION WRITER, people!! Who "existed on drugs and alcohol" at one point it says, the effects of which are quite obvious.

George Lucas should start his own, competing, intergalactic religion. I'd join his.

I'm right there with you. I'd rather worship the Force than aliens.

L Ron Hubbard saved the world. You all are just too SP to realize it.
