this can't be true. War of the worlds only involves martians while EVERY scientologist (who knows his ethics) knows that XENU is the real bad guy of the universe.

I am certain that cruise and travolta remain in scientology simply because they are being blackmailed about homosexual affairs in their past.

I suggest that any one who is interested read: Scientology vs the Net(herlands), The road to Xenu, or Lonesome Squirrel for the inside scoop on scientology.

I seriously doubt they are being blackmailed. I think in the case of Travolta his past is fairly open. Scientology probably does offer him some sort of balance. The bargain is that Travolta is an enabler for the cult's deceptive, intimidating, coercive recruiting techniques and anti-free speech methods. Apparently he gets special treatment and the cult members without fat bank accounts are little more than indentured servants for the A-list cult members. Funny, it seems that the hollywood star system and the scientology star system work in a similiar manner.
