Get Your TRs In!
Scientology Training Routines (TRs in Scientology-speak) are an important element to the group. They shape the way Scientologists speak and think and are among the first steps in the gradual shifting of reality for Scientology members.
In 2000, I produced a demonstration video with Stacy Brooks and Jesse Prince, former high ranking members of Scientology, and at the time of the taping, my co-workers at the Lisa McPherson Trust. This video was shown once to an audience in Germany and never seen on the web…until now.

What about the rest of the tr-s?
I want to see how they yell at ashtrays at “tone 40″.
I love reading about scientology, and I think that the tr-s get relatively little attention. I think that this is due to the fact that ex-scientologists are a little ashamed about telling people that they did those ridiculous acts. it one thing to tell people about the rpf or auditing, but the strangeness of the tr-s is a little embarrassing…
Love the site, saw almost everything on it and loved it. It should put up the French tv show about the landmark forum written about in cult-news. Its very good.

This was one of the most informative things I have ever seen on Scientology. I’d love to know more about the other TRs, and it was immensely helpful to see them demonstrated. It really helps when you’re actually talking to a scientologist to know that they’ve done these TRs. It helps you know how to fight it, or ignore it, and not get too creeped out or irritated by how they just keep staring and asking the same damn question.
Right on.

What happened to Stacy Brooks after 2001? She seemed to have disappeared. Did she perhaps sign an agreement with CoS? Just curious.

to the person who would like to see tr8 the ashtray its not really any fun trying recovering from a drug addiction and having to sit in a room for nine hours lifting a ashtray up saying “stand up in that chair” then lifting “sit down in that chair” then “thank you” repeat……… than you get to do it saying the words in your head and pausing at the right moments. then you get to do it going thru the routine using random words like blue, zebra, etc… it can really take a toll on a persons sanity i now know why narcanon uses theses tr in the very being of the program it to break you of your free will. but the worst is TR0 BULL BAIT the other student and supervisors make you sit in the chair staying completly composed and scream every ugly thing they can at you like “crack whore” “fat b….” etc. what they show on the demo is not really what it is like at narcanon. and for TR00 confront and control. try sitting in that chair for up to nine hours a day the 1st day you are out of withdraw. it really give you the confidence you need to stay of drugs .. NOT it makes you crazy.
just a little insight to the TR
ALL THEY ARE GOOD FOR IS
BREAKING ONES SPIRIT AND
FREEWILL!!!!!

[...] Part three is a little frustrating because they managed to get the Wickstroms on the show, including an angered Per who felt it important to pick up the extension suddenly and chime in, but there’s a bit more heat than information. It’s best to just get these Scientologist on the record answering questions than to take them on with heated exchanges. These are, after all, people who have been trained in bullbaiting. [...]

This was good to see. I admited myself to the narconon facility called riverbend bend retreat. And I saw the controling aspects from day one. It was the most horrible two weeks of my life. This helped to heal from the CRAP they put me through. I am happy to see I am 5 months clean and I did it using a 12 step program.

Meredeth thank you ! I just left Narconon after 40 days and you just described the first week perfectly. I was told it had nothing to do with Scientology. All they did was take $29,000 and lie about the whole program. Brainwash my family into disowning me and causeing me more hardship then before I went in that program. I hope this video might help to mend some of the hurt with my family. Because unless you are there doing that for eight hours a day , it is hard to picture in your mind. Only picture if you will about 20 people bullbaiting, screaming at the top of there lungs the rudest things they can think of, only you and your twin are doing TR0 eyes open for a hour to get a pass and get through the strangest week of your life. BEWARE OF NARCONON !!!
