Squirrel, n. — a pejorative term used by Scientologists denoting either:
1. (When used by Church of Scientology members) An Independent Scientologist/Freezone Scientologist, Scientology reformist, one who practices Scientology
outside the confines and sanction of the authoritarian Church of Scientology
2. (When used by Freezone/Independent Scientologists) Someone who alters the
tech (Scientology doctrine) and uses off-beat, harmful, and/or ineffective practices. This was the original
definition before David Miscavige changed it. However, due to the lack of resources and authority in the Freezone, as well as 2.0, it's sometimes accurate.
v. 1. (When used by Church of Scientology members) the action of practicing Scientology
outside of Church sanction.
2. (When used by Freezoners) the act of editing Scientology beliefs, practices, and
tech (the Bridge as it existed when LRH died); going off into off-beat/other practices, embracing harmful/Church-like/
irrelevant to the
reality of the Freezone policies, going into agreement with ones own misunderstoods of policy/doctrine. Acting like Miscavige. Among adherents of the Freezone, it is debated whether or not the Bridge is something that can be added to as an extension.
Adj. 1 (When used by CoS) Of or relating to Independent Scientologists and/or the Freezone
Adj. 2 (When used by Freezoners) Of or relating to changing the
tech, or related to acting like Miscavige
