Welcome New Scientologist and our Scientology Ethics book! By becoming a Scientologist, you implicitly agree to NOT do any of the 161 crimes we have fully disclosed to you here.
Never mind what Ron said about "Ethics are reason" in Science of Survival, or that Morals are law, and that Ethics and Morals are not the same. New discoveries have changed this.
Of course, we really know this is a Scientology Moral (Law) Code, however, we never call it what it actually is. So we give it 3 different other names, such as "The Ethics Codes", "Code of Discipline", or "Code of Offenses", as explained below.
Call it any of these last 3 names, just don't call it a MORAL code! Even though these "ethics" codes have nothing to do with ethics, but have everything to do with how we want YOU to properly behave and control you as a Scientologist, while you become a FREED BEING with us.
This list insures you don't get over-punished by us. This safeguards your freedom in our Scientology punishment system.
