That was my post. Was too tired to notice he hadn't signed out.
Scientologists are more than kooky. Show me any other religion that follows its members around.
And anyone without the free will to make that choice is brainwashed.
I agree with you that Scientology is a cult. However, you will have to choose a different piece of evidence to further your point here -- that Scientologists believe that humans are descended from a race of aliens is a much better option, one that most can sign onto as being freaky. Additionally, a lot of people follow others around to extreme; they're usually stalkers, not Scientologists. Katie choosing to be a stay at home mom is a completely normal decision that millions of women all over this country make every day. In fact, I would argue that Katie's decision to stay home is a sign that she may still be with us in the normal world. Now, if she decides to use the Scientology childbirth method then I would have to concede that she may be too far gone.
At an appointment the other day, I picked up a magazine, it had a little blurb that Katie Holmes was at a movie theatre with her "Scientology Keeper", and gave a woman's name, Katie had on a "device" strapped to her stomach that was making vibrating noises loud enough to be disturbing other movie goers. Some nonsense about passing energy waves to the baby. She was told to turn it off, she left in a huff with her "Keeper". I wondered at the time what the heck a "Keeper" was and why does she need one. Tom Cruise has gotten scary. Run Katie Run!
