< BACK TO Fresh Intelligence What Tom Cruise Was Talking About in That Scientology Video "I was a Scientologist for almost 30 years and I can translate what Cruise is saying," wrote Pieniadz. "He's speaking 'Scientologese,' which is a bogus language that Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard made up in order to assist in the indoctrination of his followers." Here are Pieniadz's translations: • KSW: Short for Keeping Scientology Working, a policy written by Hubbard in the 1960s that requires all Scientologists to follow his words and his rules exactly. • Orgs: An abbreviation for "organizations"; describes all churches of Scientology throughout the world. • David Miscavige: He is the current leader of Scientology. He's the equivalent of the Pope to the Catholics. • Out-ethics: Any behavior that violates any of Hubbard's rules of conduct. • Put ethics in someone else: Make others conform to Hubbard's rules of behavior. • Criminon: Scientology front group that tries to recruit through the prisons. • SP: Suppressive Person. Anyone who doesn't like Scientology and/or criticizes Scientology. • PTS/SP: Another bogus Hubbard term to define behavior that goes against Scientology rules. • LRH technology or "tech": All of the Scientology policies, rules, mandates, and procedures. Is it accurate? Well, you never can tell with the Internets these days, but let's be honest: Does it seem at all far-fetched to you? 
The video is still up at gawker. I didn't watch it yesterday but went through it today and I'd say the translations are legit. They all make sense. They also seem to make the video creepier by the mere understanding of more that he's running his mouth about... Posted by: jazzy on January 15, 2008 5:17 PM Reading this nonsense I could puke! Do you really believe "Patty" (if she actually exists which I highly doubt) knows what she is talking about? A simple Google search makes you wiser than this crap explanation which in no logical way fits to what Cruise said in the video. Radar, bro, have you gone gaga together with the Scieno-bashers now? Posted by: luana on January 15, 2008 9:53 PM Hey, Luana, you would not happen to be a Scientologist yourself, now, would you? Crazy question, I know! Posted by: Moon Over My Hammy on January 16, 2008 9:21 AM Luana, this would be a perfect opportunity to set the record straight. If those aren't the correct definitions, then what DO those terms mean? Posted by: Simon Scowl on January 16, 2008 1:00 PM Advertisement I happen to know that these definitions are correct having spent the better part of a year working against Scientology in litigation. Posted by: Skylep on January 16, 2008 2:36 PM Actually, those definitions are accurate, if not entirely defined, and by no means complete. The Rolling Stone article on Scientology is perhaps the best, most comprehensive one I've ever read. Posted by: Badkittym on January 17, 2008 1:58 PM I felt slightly brainwashed after watching that video. Posted by: downtown on January 18, 2008 5:57 PM Ha ha, now we know that Luana IS indeed a Scilon. Posted by: JaneyZ on March 31, 2008 5:12 PM |
