Wall of Clay

to W to index

The extensive clay demos of Plasticine (tm) done on the Pro TRs (professional training routines for auditor "therapists.") A whole chapter from a book needs to be clay demoed. It can take over a week of 16 hour days, if doing TRs (training routines) the hard way, according to SO (Sea Org) standards.


Wall of Fire

WDC

WDC Chairman is, officially, the head of the Church. In 1993 this post was held by the CO CMO INT somewhat secretly, but it may be policy for these two posts to be held by the same individual. This organization oversees large areas of Scientology such as OSA, WISE, SMI, SO Service Orgs, etc. and each one of these areas are overseen by a specific executive (referred to as WDC OSA, WDC SMI, etc.)

White Glove

A clean-up make-work done at the end of each week by Sea Org staff. It usually entails removing every speck of dust from a room with dirty grey rags and little or no cleaning supplies to a standard whereby a white glove wielded by the superior cannot pick up anything when wiped on various surfaces around the area involved. Of course, if a group is downstat, the cleanup takes longer; white-glove inspections can take many hours. "This is the sixth flunk on the white glove in this room; if I have to come back again if it doesn't pass next time you're all staying and working for another five hours to get your fucking stats up!"


Wholetrack

The timeline of trillions of years of memory Scientologists claim to have. "Sally has major Overts from six million years ago on her Wholetrack."

Wikipedia: World Institute of Scientology Enterprises


Withhold

to W to index

After committing an Overt (undisclosed bad act), people try to hide it or Withhold it; thus a Withhold is what you're hiding. "Sit down and write up your Overts and Withholds." See MU.

Withhold

1. A Withhold is an unspoken, unannounced transgression against a moral code by which the person was bound.

2. The unwillingness of the pc to talk to the auditor or tell him something.

3. A Withhold is something that a person believes that if it is revealed it will endanger their self-preservation.

4. When a person should be reaching and is withdrawing that's a Withhold.

9. Is always the manifestation which comes after an overt. Any Withhold comes after an overt. (from TD)


Wog

to W to index

A derogatory and racist term the cult co-opted from British slang, and now uses to refer to people outside of Scientology's purview.


Wog world

to W to index

The mundane society away from the totally free supermen inside the cult of Scientology, seen as an aberrated sea of insanity and criminality to be feared and avoided.


Word clearing

to W to index

A very common and central activity in the cult. There are nine formal methods of word clearing, many being done on the E-meter with an auditor (word-clearer). See the individual methods under M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, M7, M8 and M9. See in particular M3 and M4 for a more detailed explanation of what word clearing does and what its real purpose is.

Xenu

to X to index

(ZEE-new, ZEEN-you) sometimes spelled Xemu (ZEE-moo, ZEEM-you), the evil galactic ruler that packaged us all up, put us on Hawaii, and blew us up with H bombs 75,000,000 years ago, according to L. Ron Hubbard, author of Dianetics. The picture on the cover of Dianetics is meant to restimulate this incident implanted by Xenu, and force us to buy a copy. What's that you say? Hawaii didn't exist 75,000,000 years ago? Shhh! You'll wake him!

Note: which spelling you choose is up to you; the field is split about 50/50 in ex-Scientologists, critics, and even authors on which one is best. Each side vigorously defends their pet spelling, and both sides have documentation to back up their version, which they insist is the only correct one. I believe either is correct, but I prefer Xenu with an N, pronounced ZEE-new. It is rumoured that this emotional debate will eventually lead to a schism of the arscc into two distinct and warring camps (can't you see the difference? He's black on the left side!)

More about Xenu on Wikipedia.
