I wonder if L Ron's vision was this nutty worldwide cult, or if people who came after him are the *main* cause for its spread

To those not fully committed, he hotly said: Step it up or get out!

But if you decide to get out, don't be surprised if you are slandered, sued, harrassed and subjected to false "anonymous" charges to the police and the IRS. Remind me again: WHY was this cult given tax-exempt religious status by Clinton's IRS commissioner? Oh yeah, now I remember: we were never told why.

Tom Cruise may not think of himself as a force for darkness, but being a crossover point from mere entertainment to ambassadorship of spiritual wickedness in high places, he has now played a disturbing role. He's the encourager of spiritual human sacrifice

How many will imitate him we can't know, but the damage to those souls will be eternal.

Pray for Tom.

I keep thinking this is a big joke put upon all these celebs by a 50's Scifi author. (L Ron was never in the class of Asimov).

Why would anyone with more than a GED diploma pay any attention to what a Tom Cruise or his ilk has to say about anything. These people are paid to act. I doubt they would be getting paid at all if they were being paid to think!

Cruise is an actor period. Like all the other actors I care not for anything that comes out of his head other then watching his work.
Empty heads of mush that give a hoot what any actor or actress thinks is shallow and pathetic.

This episode has been a complete disaster for Scientology. Their "Xenu" story has finally seen the light of day and there's no putting the genie back in the bottle. More and more news and talk outlets are doing critical stories on Scientology and all the lawyers in the world can't stop it.

One lawyer they have is Greta VanSusteren of Fox. She never mentions the cult on her show.

"For Scientology, they have gotten some of the best publicity they could have," said Melton, who lectured Thursday at the University of South Florida.

This sounds like SPIN worthy of James Carville the Clinton crowd.

I saw a short clip of Tom on Oprah. Maybe it was out of context, but he looked like he was on something far stronger that a dozen cups of coffee.

I think L. Ron Hubbard just looked at it as a clever tax shelter and money generator. I don't think he actually believed in it. He made several statements to this affect to friends. I actually wonder if that isn't 50-90% of Scientology now.

I agree with Tom Cruise on the dangers of drugs that doctors prescribe for you. I was forced to take the Drug Depakote and I had brutal side effects.

This society is over drugged. Follow the money trail between the insurance companies, doctors, and big pharma.

Those drugs didn't make me better they made we worse.

The city of Clearwater is being sucked dry as the Scientologists are buying up prime real estate there making them tax exempt.

I can see why Scientologists are against Pschiatry, anyone who joins needs to go see one.

Tom Cruise is a sawed off little snot with little talent , but looks that women go nuts over. He couldnt carry John Waynes jock strap. Wait until the glamor boy roles are gone and he has to play older male parts. Yesterdays stars went on for years even as older men . When that time comes Cruise will wish he had saved some of that money he hands over to his "Church".

L. Ron was a con artist and he's duped a lot of dopes.

Cruise is either a con artist or a dope.

Cruise's noodles have slid completely off his plate. I always used to think that he was the victim when he and Nicole Kidman divorced. Maybe she had had to put up with this lunatic for a number of years before the divorce and finally had enough.

The only movie I ever cared for him was in "A Few Good Men".

Cruise-control. You have to pay extra for it. It doesn't come standard.
