Intelligence Specialist Training Routine - TR-L 

Purpose: To train the student to give a false statement 
with good TR-L. To train the student to outflow false data effectively. 
Position: Same as TR-1 

[Even in this fairly thick Scientology jargon, the purpose of the
TR-L routine, short for "Training Routine - Lie" is to train the
Scientologist to lie convincingly.]

Commands: Part 1 "Tell me a lie." Command given by coach. 

Part 2 interview type 2 WC by coach. 

Training stress: In part 1 coach gives command, student 
originates a falsehood. Coach flunks for out TR-1 or TR-O. 
In part 2 coach asks questions of the student on his 
background or a subject. Student gives untrue data of a 
plausible sort that the student backs up with further 
explanatory data upon the coach's further questions. The 
coach flunks for out TR-O or TR-1, and for student fumbling 
on question answers. The student should be coached on a 
gradient until he or she can lie facily (sic). 

[The Scientologist is trained not only to lie, but practices
lying facilely for hours at a time, being "flunked" if the lie
is not convincing, is given with body language that indicates 
lying, or the Scientologist does not have proper "confront" or
eye contact.]

Short example: 

Coach: Where do you come from? 
Student: I come from the housewives committee on drug abuse. 
Coach: But you said earlier that you were single. 
Student: Well, actually I was married but am divorced. 
I have two kids in the suburbs where I am a housewife, 
in fact I'm a member of the P.T.A. 

[Even when caught flat-out lying, the Scientologist is not supposed
to admit to the lie, but instead to come up with another lie to cover
the first lie.]

Coach: What town is that you live in? 
Student: West Brighton. 
Coach: But there is no public school in West Brighton. 
Student: I know. I send my children to school in Brighton, 
and that's where I am a P.T.A. member. 
Coach: Oh, and who is the chairman there? etc... 

[Even on repeatedly being challenged on statements, the 
Scientologist must maintain an even keel and keep generating
more false statements until the curiosity of the questioner
is satisfied.  It should be obvious to anyone why this "religious"
practice of being trained to lie would make a hard-core Scientology
cultist an unreliable witness at best.]
