32 Notes on this FAQ:
I have waited patiently for the cult to come up with a list of
definitions, as it is a suppressive act, according to their dogma,
to let anyone go by a misunderstood word. They were first asked to
post a list of cult terms in 1994; they have failed in their duty.
They are suppressive according to their own definitions and dogma;
deliberately trying to cave people in with MUs...just as they use
the R6 Bank symbols on the cover of their books to cave people in.
If you, or anyone reading this has any further acronyms you don't
understand not in this list, feel free to send e-mail to
uo880@freenet.victoria.bc.ca (Martin Hunt), and it will be added to
the FAQ. Keep in mind that this list cannot include all the cult's
terminology as contained in the Tech and Admin dictionaries. Only
terminology which is current, frequently used on ars, or generally
informative will be considered for inclusion in the FAQ.
See any corrections? Same deal; send it along. But keep in mind it
would be preferred to keep the descriptions a few lines long...no
essays on one term, please!
Worried about my evident bias? Too bad! I was in the cult, and I
see no reason to call it a religion. If it walks like a duck, looks
like a duck, quack quack quacks like a duck, then it must be
Scientology. Call a spade a spade, I always say.
Note that this FAQ was written for the purpose of cutting through
the recondite cult semantics, using humour and wit. As such, it is
not intended to be scholarly or "technically" accurate; many of the
definitions have been gathered from ars, and many more I wrote
myself based on my experience within Scientology. Only the posted
definitions from sdraper, nobody, and xpolitic out of Scientology
references can be considered accurate, unless you believe the
cult's language is irrational nonsense, and in need of explanation
by an inside expert.
