27. What is PTS?
Answer By: Elizabeth McCoy <emccoy@jade.mv.net>
Potential Trouble Source. Despite what it stands for, it's more often used
in the form of: "I'm PTS to Uncle Alfred." or "I'm going PTS to my job."
The state of being PTS is characterized by roller-coastering emotions,
depression, and generally having no fun, being stressed, and being hard to
get along with. People who are connected with SPs or who are in a
suppressive environment much of the time are likely to "go PTS." Since
PTS people don't get much useful accomplished at their job or in their
life (if you're feeling rotten, do *you* get much accomplished? If you say
yes, I'm boggled...), it's considered a good idea to figure out what's
stressing them out, and try to remove or limit the stress. Kick Uncle
Alfred off of the living room sofa and make him get his own apartment,
say.

PTS stands for "potential trouble source." A member of the Church of
Scientology is a PTS if he/she is associated with a "Suppressive Person"
(SP) -- that is, if he/she is in significant contact with someone critical
of Scientology, or otherwise considered an enemy of the Church of
Scientology. The PTS is said to be "PTS to" the SP.
