After a very short while, Scientology "experts" refused to answer questions and started cut-and-pasting copyrighted cult propaganda. Additionally I removed URLs in some of the replies, and left them in others. And it's also important to note that eventually the unfortunate "Greg Churilov" cultist was ejected from askme.com for his typical Scientological behavior.

Hi, experts!!!

I found a document on the web that I can't find any more but it was dated November 20'th 1997. I remember that because it's my birthday!

I didn't understand much of the legal terms but there was one term that I think is a scientology term, not a legal term. There was a guy names Stephen Mitchel either sueing the church or being sued by the church for libel but this Stephen Mitchel guy presented thousands of pages of evidence to, I think, sue the church.

The word was "squirreling." Stephen Mitchel filed evidence that said the church was 'squirreling."

That's got to be a scientology term since it's not covered on anything in the legal newsgroups I could find. Anyone? thanks

Hello!

The term "Squirreling" refers to the misunderstanding of and consequent misuse of certain (Scientology) ideas or processes. If something is misunderstood then it cannot be used correctly is the basic idea.

The implication of the use of the term would be that the Church has gone astray in some fashion.

As an independent person and researcher having no current affiliations, I personally do not have any great interest in the politics.

I have used certain techniques identified by Hubbard and found them to rather useful and valid. As personal researches they hardly constitute anything, but, personal testimonial.

There are far to many people who look at the surface of materials and political events and as to say - throw the baby out with the bath water.

There are some phenomena here that are quite interesting to examine and I would like to see a true scientific evaluation. The manipulation of the world scene by the Illuminati prevents a better examination at this time.

Hope this answers your question.

That's all a lie. Other experts have said that it's when a Scientologist changes what Hubbard wrote and I was sent to some good web pages that cover what squirreling is along with numerous examples.

Bastard lied to me!
