Scientology - Altering the Tech
NEW (August 3, 2003): Gene Zimmer documents a significant change to the definition of the second dynamic. This revelation floored me!
(Note: If you are new to the terminology on this page, please refer to a Scientology glossary. As a very rough introduction, "tech" is Scientology policy, written by L. Ron Hubbard; "squirrelling" is making unauthorized changes to these writings or to the processes described in them.)
In the past few years, some Scientologists have discovered that Scientology publications had been altered without explanation. In most cases, this occurs when a book, published during L. Ron Hubbard's lifetime and originally credited as written "by L. Ron Hubbard", is revised and republished as "based on the works of L. Ron Hubbard." (Some reports refer to these altered versions as "BOTWO" versions.)
There are many reports of this, carefully documented with page numbers and publication dates.
Here are a few of those reports; more will be posted soon. You may also be interested in some of the outpoints described on the Outpoints page.
If you've discovered an unexplained alteration of a Scientology publication or of Scientology tech, please e-mail detailed information to humanrights@racerrecords.com.

NEW 8/19/02: Floating Needle Definition

scientologyintegrity.org
This site has an extensive (but not comprehensive) list of alterations to Scientology materials from Self Analysis to The Phoenix Lectures to Introduction to Scientology Ethics to a wide variety of policy letters. You may also want to read the introduction to the site, which links to a variety of essays and materials.
Safe
"Safe" is the pseudonym of a Scientologist who provided several examples of altered tech, posting about them to the alt.religion.scientology newsgroup. After Safe had been online for several months, Scientology attorneys used the DMCA to request his identity from his Internet service provider, and he stopped posting shortly thereafter.
