Scientology in Tom Cruise’s words

Like we didn’t know he was crazy before…This was apparently leaked from a private Scientology event. Kudos to the hero who smuggled it out.

EDIT: The Scientologists work fast. They’ve already got the first video pulled (”due to a copyright claim by the Church of Scientology” according to YouTube). I’m going to repost it with a working copy, but if it goes down, please visit Gawker, who is hosting their own copy which they have said they are refusing to take down. Take that, Tom Cruise!

EDIT 2: I’ve had to repost this three times now, since the videos keep getting pulled– again, if it doesn’t work, check out the Gawker link

EDIT 3: That’s at least five times I’ve changed videos!

EDIT 4: From one of the posted videos:

Scientology mini dictionary:
*KSW (short for Keeping Scientology Working): A policy written by
Hubbard in the 1960’s that requires all Scientologists to follow his
words and his rules exactly.
“Orgs: Orgs is an abbreviation for “organizations” and 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 on 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 that 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 the Scientology policies, rules, mandates, procedures
