Scientology cult members are actually coached in re-defining a LIE as truth if it is the "Greatest Good for Scientology Inc."
They are told it is an "acceptable truth", "a white lie" or "A lie approved of by the Ethics Officer!"
Lying to family or relatives on how *happy* they are inside the Church's Sea Org (while Security listen in on the phone) is applauded as a Very Well Done !
It has no conscience. NONE. It does not recognize when it commits atrocities and abuse. It has no feeling of regret, or shame, and never ever apologizes. It does occasionally BLAME a former staff member, now departed, as the SP that did such and such, but it has zero remorse for splitting up families, acting out on sadistic punishments of highly controlled behavior modification.
Meanwhile it spouts on propaganda craving "Good PR". Some examples are depicted in this video

Wow...powerful, POWERFUL video, Karen! You bring up so much to consider: First, that real religions teach ethics, honesty, compassion and so on; Co$, a fake, fraudulent "religion," not only does not demonstrate these things...it also INSTRUCTS members in lying effectively. Second, that this lying is a predictable feature of any Scientology material.
There was a mailing in Tony's Sunday Funnies today that featured graphs jaggedly improving and then soaring into the stratosphere. The graphs had no numbers. They could have been drawn by a child with a crayon. But I'm sure many of the people who receive them will think "Oh, everything is getting so much better by the minute!"
Then the juxtaposition in your video of news reporting of victims of Narconon versus the typical David Miscavige Nuremberg Rally-style extravaganzas is devastating.
(And I will tell you, Karen, that I am frequently eating my breakfast when I see these things, and watching David Miscavige almost brings it up again! Maybe you should have a warning at the beginning of vids that show David Miscavige: "Warning. This video contains nauseating material. Do not watch while eating.")

I had no idea about the many news reports covering deaths. Really overwhelming.
Brava, Karen...I would like to see this video on news programs around the country and elsewhere.
