How Scientologists get married (Weird Vows)

PARIS (AFP) - The Church of Scientology provides for several kinds of wedding ceremony for its followers, but according to the most traditional the husband "may promise to provide her (his wife) with "a pan, a comb, perhaps a cat."

US actor Tom Cruise and actress Katie Holmes will provide perhaps the most high-profile Scientologists' wedding to date this weekend.

And according to unconfirmed reports in the Italian media, American Scientology leader David Miscavige will fly in from Los Angeles to preside over the event.

According to the Scientologists' book "The Background, Ministry, Ceremonies and Sermons of the Scientology Religion", there are five versions of the Scientologist wedding ceremony: traditional, informal, single ring, double ring, and concise double ring, all of varying length and formality.

Scientology's "traditional ceremony" includes such advice to the groom as "Now -----, girls need clothes and food and tender happiness and frills, a pan, a comb, perhaps a cat.

"All caprice if you will, but still they need them."

The bride is told: "Hear well, sweet -----, for promise binds. Young men are free and may forget. Remind him that you may have necessities and follies, too."

I read somewhere that Katie Holmes Cruise was born in 1978. Eleven years earlier, in 1967, Nicole Kidman was born. Eleven years before that, and we have Mimi Rogers born in 1956. And aren't they all Catholics?

Kidman and Holmes were raised Catholic.

Mimi Rogers wed Cruise in 1987, and it was she that introduced him to Scientology.

Nope as long as they are living there is hope.

Dude/Dudette Do you know? How Creepy? Those pics are? OK I wanna see the pics not shown...perhaps these were out of context to a whole shoot. How come the Baby seems so small? If I was this Katey (sic) girl I would be fast on the plane home to Mama/Papa. Is it my predjudice or is something really odd going on here. And Brooke the Playboy 12yr old model at the time all is ok Tom I am here for our Cult/Relegion to support you? Thank God one person in the Hollywood Universe was not there and I know we spent the evening with him on stage. Deal or No Deal Howie Mandel hung out with us in the PNW at a wayside Casino room giving his humor.

Um, shouldn't the woman be providing the MAN with a little kitty? Oh, wait, we're talking about cruise and $cientologists. No kitty wanted.

Maybe she'll have to get him a little doggie.

I live near Scientology heaven, Clearwater Florida.

When I see these folks hanging out on the sidewalk or in a K-Mart doing their cult sales pitch, I always approach them and ask what they are doing

Thinking that I'm a naive little mindless dweeb that will be sucked into their scam, I pretend to be interested.

Before I agree to be "tested", I always ask them to explain who "Xenu" is and why would I believe in their cult that Ron L Hubbard started to not pay taxes.

I normally say it very loudly and wait until their are several people around.
