Do you have any examples of newspeak in their literature?

I had a cousin "fall prey" to the organization. I don't know what went on internally, but he was forced into, what I colloquially call a re-education camp (I'm not sure what they called it), for two weeks. They took his phone away and had him break all contact with the outside world, even with his girlfriend at the time. 2 Weeks later, he pops up and says he's moving to California to be a part of the church.

It was pretty creepy to be honest.

Point being, I find the mechanics of the church to be interesting.
