Tom Cruise Wants to Assist With on-set Scientology

Tom Cruise Wants to Assist With on-set Scientology. In the upcoming Steven Spielberg remake of War of the Worlds, one family fights for survival when Earth is invaded by Martian war machines. But on the set of the movie, there’s been an invasion of another sort: Scientologists! Tom Cruise, the film’s star and the religion’s most well-known adherent, has set up a Scientology tent with a volunteer minister. “It’s a gift from Tom to the crew,” says Lee Anne De Vette, Cruise’s sister and spokeswoman. “You can receive what’s called an assist there,” a Scientologist practice that, as she describes it, seems to be a glorified mini-massage. “If someone has an injury in a certain part of their body, if their back is killing them, they can come in and get an assist. It’s something that helps the body get in better communication with itself.” Actual Scientology literature is available, too, in case “someone walks in looking for a solution.” All of which has caused a certain amount of grumbling. Scientology watchdog Rick Ross says that he’s received e-mails from crew members wondering, “Where are the booths for the Catholics and the Jews?”

Just reading about Scientology makes me laugh out loud:

On the "advanced" levels (called OT levels) above the state of "Clear" they encounter the story of Xenu. Xenu was supposed to have gathered up all the overpopulation in this sector of the galaxy, brought them to Earth and then exterminated them using hydrogen bombs. The souls of these murdered people are then supposed to infest the body of everyone. They are called "body thetans". On the advanced levels of Scientology a person "audits out" these body thetans telepathically by getting them to re-experience their being exterminated by hydrogen bombs. So people on these levels assume all their bad thoughts and faulty memories are due to these body thetans infesting every part of their body and influencing them mentally. Many Scientologists go raving mad at this point if they have not done so already.

Yet tell these same people there is a God in heaven who loves them and that life after this life is in heaven with Him and they scoff. Hmmm. But believing that they were shipped here intergallactically and infested with thousands of souls of murdered people and well, all they want to know is who to make the check payable to...

LOL. These 'thetans' sound like germs! They just need a glass of orange juice! Or maybe some antibiotics.

Many Scientologists go raving mad at this point if they have not done so already.

Must be why the 'auditors' save this important step for last. Once they have all the cash out of their cash cow, who needs the cow anymore?

So people on these levels assume all their bad thoughts and faulty memories are due to these body thetans infesting every part of their body and influencing them mentally.

Wow, ingenious really. Plant sublimal messages, after controlling them through 'audits' for years. And then, once all the life and money has been sucked out of them, drive them mad. Of course, Cruise would deny this, but then he has many more productive money-making years ahead of him...

Travolta considers himself 'freed' and 'enlightened' by his use of scientology over the last 20 or so years, his own 'god'. I will look for the interview.
