Inside Scientology’s strict Sea Org which Suri Cruise faced joining

It is Scientology's higher order where members pledge their allegiance for one billion years - and may have cost Tom Cruise his marriage.

Sending six-year-old Suri to the Sea Organisation, or Sea Org as it is known, is what is said to have been the final straw for Katie Holmes before she filed for divorce.

The group is run like a military clique from the Scientology Gold Base in California which has sniper-style nest bunker that overlooks the entire property.

Members are paid just $50 a week and banned from leaving their base or they are tracked down by a special team who used emotional pressure or physical force.

Former Scientology security chief Gary Morehead has claimed that he tracked down more than 100 Sea Org members who left in his 13 years on the job using what he called a ‘blow drill’, referring to the techniques he employed to hunt people down.

If Sea Org members try to leave they are also given a ‘freeloader tab’ which is a bill for all the work they have received, and can run into six figures.

The German government considers it to be a multilevel marketing scam instead of a religion.

Former Scientologist says Katie Holmes’ answers during church QA sessions will be used against her

http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2012/07/03/former-scientologist-says-katie-holmes-answers-during-church-qa-sessions-will/

““I don’t know if they (Scientology) really ever let you leave. For Katie to have managed to come this far without anyone finding out, she would have been so unbelievably meticulous and careful,” said the source. “Scientology has an amazing spy network”

Australia’s ‘child labour camp’

February 14, 2012, 6:18 pm Bryan Seymour Today Tonight

In the middle of suburban Australia is a secret compound that’s labelled ‘degrading’ and ‘inhumane’, with allegations of keeping children prisoner.

Scientology is wack-A-doo for sure but that topic is just a red herring for this Cruise - Holmes thing. The media types are generating these stories to make it look like something sinister is going on. The main thing is that the 5 year contract Holmes had with Cruise is over. Cruise is super gay and this was a typical Hollywood "marriage".

Who knows if the child even even his? I wonder.

Watch what Holmes herself says. She won't bash Scientology and she won't bash Cruise. She will work to make them both look good. Watch for stories from her about what a non-gay stud Cruise was. Also expect Cruise to be hooking up with some other kinda famous actress who will gush that he is, of course, a non-gay stud. There will be another woman and a new contract.

It's all a farce. Just scripted drama. Like awhile back when Cher said she and Cruise had hooked up. That was totally bogus.

It's HOLLYWOOD!!!! Fake!

I don’t know if they (Scientology) really ever let you leave.

After over a quarter century, they recently tracked me down and invited me to come back, saying all the problems of the 80's had been eliminated.

At least they promised they wouldn't put me back on the mailing list....

“... and galactic overlord Xenu.”

I vaguely remember that name. Is he a good guy or a bad guy?

Hold it! Maybe he’s the guy with the twitch that passed out refreshments at the Neighborhood Watch mixer . . . ?

A commitment for 1 billion years? I can't remember Doctor's appointments more than a month away.

Sorry, that's a little to much of a time commitment for me.

Not to mention the e-meter, engrams and every other whacko thing they believe. I think Cruz must be at the highest OT level they have and no doubt spent millions getting there. At that level, they're supposed to be able to leave their body (go external) control others by the way they look at them (tone postulates I believe they're called) and generaly have super powers.

This is testable, don't any of these folks check their abilities against the claims? No doubt, when you fail to be able to do what Sci claims, they're told they've still got thetans and are not fully clear so they need more classes and emeter sessions.

Oh yeah, the long time rumor is that during the emeter sessions, they videotape the questions and answers so if you decide to leave, they've got you.

There was an actor that I think was supposed to be OT5 and he had migraines and he thought, I'm an OT5, I shouldn't have migraines. He left them and went on a press tour against Sci. I think I found him:

Actor Jason Beghe quits Scientology

Look at how much it cost him in 'classes'.

I just read an article that Seinfeld was a Scientologist???

People in and out of Scientology, might surprise you.

I apologize for the source of the last article, who selects a name like they have for a column?

The picture of Travolta has him looking like Freddy Mercury when he was 'out' and I love Freddy Mercury's music, band and talent, although Travolta is extremely talented (747 certified owns a 707 and a Learjet type jet) but does he have to use the generic gay look from the 80's?

If you have money to waste, they have emeters on Ebay. There's one on there now signed by LRH for $25k!!!

This money grubbing cult is banned in Germany. All they care about is extracting money from naive newbie suckers to perpetuate their scam machine plus they destroy and blackmail homos like Cruise and Travolta

No gold and no sea. Other than a handful of people in one picture and a handful of cars total, it looks vacant.

No sympathy for Katie as she knew what she was getting into. Only sympathy for Suri for having dingbat parents.

I meet Scientologists EVERY DAY here in Hollywood.

White, wearing blue pants, in white polos and they have the biggest buildings in Hollywood aside from the major studios. I did hear the rumors from my sources that every white person joined because they were the minority in L.A. and wanted to be in the same demographic.

In other words, they’re F’d up more than the fag mafia in W. Hollywood.

“Don’t Sea Org members have to dress like Dick Cavett in navy blazers and nautical caps?”

See my past post. The navy blazers and pants are standard as they are numerous (thousands) here in Hollywood alone. I work in the ‘biz’ and Cruise has filled up his production company stack full of these moonbats. The truth is you are either meeting 1) a fag liberal white or 2) scientologist white and crazy here in Hollywood. You just need to keep a straight face when you go into meetings as they “heavily” recruit you.

When I was in the Marines, I used to keep track of how many days I had to serve until my enlistment was over. I was discharged 27 years ago.

Good thing I never joined Scientology back in 1981. Because even today, I'd still have over 999,999,968 years to go!

and where does kabbalah fit into this crowd of nutjobs?

Sad that Hollywood seems to be so hostile to Christians and observant Jews, and the vastly overpaid screen phonies have to seek spiritual succor in pseudo religions

Same as with all these judges who claim no one has standing on eligibility cases and quite possibly Roberts' ObamaCare flip flop, if you're threatened then go public. Scream it from the top of the tallest building and make the talkshow rounds. Katie has enough of her own money, unless she gave it to the "church", to live comfortably. Wonder if she can get the ex-wives to spill what they know. Tom is bound to have more than one skeleton in his, uh, closet.
