SCIENTOLOGIST
From the AOGP Abridged Scientology Dictionary — based on original LRH source materials, updated through 1982.
Usage
A Scientologist is someone who has found the way to a better life through Scientology and is actively pursuing it through study of books and tapes, training as an auditor, and receiving processing. The key distinction is that a Scientologist is actively applying the subject, not merely aware of it.
Why It Matters
This definition emphasizes active participation — studying, training, and receiving processing — as what makes someone a Scientologist. It distinguishes practitioners who are working to attain a better life from those who may only have a passing familiarity with the subject.
