Kook alert.

Where is South Park when you need it.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA .. Good luck Tom

I predict Katie will rip those signs to shreds after a couple hours of labor

Wackos breeding alert!

"“Maintain silence in the presence of birth to save both the sanity of the mother and child..."

ROTFL and giving myself a hernia....

I certainly hope Tom is standing by her right hand when he tells her this while she pushes...remembering the height of the delivery table, she should be right at target.

[Izzy Dunne]

She was well-known for her Catholic beliefs

I have no idea what that means.

"They think it can cause “psychic” damage, which takes years of therapy to overcome. "

It's not noise during birth that needs years of therapy to overcome - it's the cult itself.

[RichInOC]

The cult’s creator, sci-fi writer L. Ron Hubbard, once said: “Maintain silence in the presence of birth to save both the sanity of the mother and child.”

Applied to Scientologists...that's like shutting the barn door after the horse ran off.

[Chanticleer]

That's why my kids are such a mess -- I yelled my unmedicated head off! (Maybe if I put them in an isolation tank....)

[Fintan]

What's really funny is people like this think I'm a whack job because I'm a Republican.

[yer gonna put yer eye out]

In the interest of equality, I think that if the woman must not be given pain medication, (which by the way would certainly help with the screaming), the husband should be required to run sewing needles in and out of his eyeballs for the duration of the delivery, at which time he would be allowed to remove the glowing oak embers from his a$$hole.

Just a suggestion......:0)

“Be silent and make all physical movements slow and understandable.”

[wallcrawlr]

[SittinYonder]

I could make a joke here about putting some of the placards up in the house after the birth to help remind one's wife to keep her trap shut, but I won't.

Just pinging you to the insanity that is Cult Living Today.

[pikachu]

The doctrine stresses newborns cannot be poked or prodded for medical tests or spoken to for seven days.

Bull-cookies. My kids responded very well to my voice right after birth. And how do you find out if the kid is healthy if you can't poke the baby. Methinks Tommy Cruise himself currently has single digit Apgar tests scores.

[Izzy Dunne]

The cult’s creator, sci-fi writer L. Ron Hubbard, once said: “Maintain silence in the presence of birth to save both the sanity of the mother and child.”

Anybody care to wager on whether L. Ron Hubbard has ever given birth?

[Izzy Dunne]

They think it can cause “psychic” damage, which takes years of therapy to overcome.

Mrs. Cruise must have screamed a lot.

[starfish923]

Cruise is 43 and wifey is 26.
They both got what they wanted.
He got a trophy wife to breed.
She married money, fame and status.

This is such old, boring news, if it weren't for the scientology angle. That makes it:

Cruise will change "religions" more than once before we see the last of him. He'll change wives too. He's just an ordinary, run-of-the-mill, everyday part of the Sleazywood life-style.

[conservativebabe]

Followers believe it is traumatic for babies to hear their mother scream or groan when giving birth. They think it can cause “psychic” damage, which takes years of therapy to overcome.

Oh, so that's what happended to Tom.

[conservativebabe]

The cult’s creator, sci-fi writer L. Ron Hubbard, once said: “Maintain silence in the presence of birth to save both the sanity of the mother and child.”

Clearly Hubbard has never been in labor. Sounds more like keeping the sanity of the father, and nothing to do with mother and child.

[veronica]

Insane in the brain.
