Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

No, they'll just turn the dial down so the needle is in the middle of the dial. I think what they look for is the needle swinging back & forth a lot. But I'm guessing that no matter what the reading, it's probably just a scam to get you into their cult so they can sell you books and "auditing" sessions. Basically, it's just a prop. Something that looks "scientific" but the only purpose is to tell the interested party that they have "engrams" in their soul which need to be removed.

Occasionally in auditing, a needle will swing violently till it pegs. This is called a rock slam and in Scientology its a bad, bad thing that can get you into trouble. it indicates having very bad thoughts, "overts" In Scientology its great insult to be called a rock slammer. Your useless trivia for today.

RS or R/S to R to index


Rock Slam, a type of "read" that registers on the E-Meter, indicating that you have an evil intention. The needle swings violently back and forth. Round about '77 or so, everyone in the Sea Org had to be run on "List One", a list containing items like LRH, auditing, E-Meters, etc. If an R/S showed up at any point on the list, you went directly to RPF. Do not pass go, do not collect $17. Rock slammer technically means any person with one or more R/Ses shown in their PC folders. In slang, it means a criminal or SP. "Harry is a real Rock-Slammer; better get him into a sec-check fast."

Stop laughing damn you! This is science!

How do you know all that? Thats rather technical information for a non ex-member. I'm not an ex, but I can tell you are. I've been paying attention to Scientology since 2005 or so and know what a "rocky slam" means. OK, I don't really know, I've just seen the term before and know it means something bad. Are you ex-SO? Care to talk about your experiences?

I think the fact it was founded by a science fiction writer who was busted by the feds was a start.
