Can you squirrel and still be a Scientologist?

[Gloria Manchenburg]

Curious how people rationalize altering the old man's technology and saying they're still a Scientologist. That's like saying you re-wrote the Bible so Jesus was the son of Muhammad and that you're still a Christian. I don't believe it works that way, especially with TONS of references from the old man on how you're wrong to do this to his technology and how it ruins peoples cases to do so.

Basic Dictionary of Dianetics & Scientology:

SQUIRREL.

1. a squirrel is doing something entirely different. He doesn't understand any of the principles so he makes up a bunch of them to fulfill his ignorance and voices them off on a pc (pc = pre-Clear, an individual on the road to going Clear;see the book _Dianetics_ or the Scientology Catechism for a description of "Clear") and gets no place.

2. Those who engage in actions altering Scientology, and offbeat practices. -v. to change and invent processes.

Well, a squirrel pick and chooses what to use from the tech, I guess they pick and choose what to call themselves too.

I hyperlinked RJ38 to the tape. I found it on Google so you can listen to it if you don't have it in your house. BTW, it is Hubbard's voice - anyone who has EVER done Expanded Dianetics can tell you it's the same voice on that set of tapes and on RJ38.

Plus, you'll notice, this board has subsections for it. It appears that Gloria's no quite au courant on this.

You didn't answer my question. Thanks for trying though.

I don't know what that means, I'll assume it is some kind of "insult" don't worry I'm not a pansy I won't hit the report button.

Well, everyone currently IN the Co$ is a squirrel, so....

There are no real Scns left in the Co$.

Fair enough. There's lots of revisions. I guess picking/choose which bulletins/policies to use can be just part of: "Purpose over Policy"

Cutting out more than half of an LRH reference to make the OT VII ramp longer and costlier really is more than "picking/choosing":



What. A. Story.

Yes, actually I did answer.

WHAT? An insult? Are you kidding me?

I said they ARE doing it and have BEEN doing it (in answer to the query posed in the thread title). I then posted many links of people who ARE doing that. And I mentioned that there are two subsections to this board for FREE ZONE AND INDEPENDENT SCN. It does appear that you have been unaware of this information. That's a straight and fair comment.

There are many different Christian Denominations, Churches, Sects, Groups, Breakaways, sub-sets, off-shoots, etc etc. They mostly claim the same Source as their reason for Being. They all think of themselves as Christians. They all think that they're the Ones who are actually On-Source. They're all doing what some humans do. Why should scientologists be different?
