Scientology is very fanatical on "clearing" each and every word.
Let's try their tech on their own words and see if that makes them happy. . .
Hey, how about that word "OBLIGATION" in the guarantee that there is
NO obligation?
Unfortunately, the full conceptual meaning of "No Obligation" cannot be found in any Homo Sapiens dictionaries. We will need an advanced Scientology dictionary to clear that term and find out if there is any obligation when someone strolls in for a free stress test or free personality test.
"When somebody enrolls, consider he or she has joined up for the duration of the universe-never permit an "open-minded" approach. If they're going to quit let them quit fast. If they enrolled, they're aboard, and if they're aboard, they're here on the same terms as the rest of us-win or die in the attempt. Never let them be half-minded about being Scientologists. The proper instruction attitude is, "You're here so you're a Scientologist. Now we're going to make you into an expert auditor no matter what happens. We'd rather have you dead than incapable. We're not playing some minor game in Scientology. It isn't cute or something to do for lack of something better. The whole agonized future of this planet, every man, woman and child on it, and your own destiny for the next endless trillions of years depend on what you do here and now with and in Scientology. This is a deadly serious activity. And if we miss getting out of the trap now, we may never again have another chance. " - L. Ron Hubbard ("Keeping Scientology Working")
Yeah, that sounds pretty much like "
no obligation". If you don't do exactly what Scientology orders you to do—the entire universe and all beings are doomed to an eternally nightmarish hell. But, no worries or obligations.
And that part about how Scientology would "
rather have you dead" than being a non-productive Scientologist, I think they're probably just kidding on that one. Because they are very lighthearted, fun-loving people, not all "
deadly serious" and such.
"If you leave this room after seeing this film, and walk out and never mention Scientology again, you are perfectly free to do so. It would be stupid, but you can do it. You can also dive off a bridge or blow your brains out." - Scientology "Orientation film" for first time visitors
Ooops. I goofed this one. I can see now where Scientology is actually telling the truth. Ron says right there that "
you are perfectly free" to kill yourself, so that's definitely "no obligation". My bad.
