TOM Cruise is the new “Christ” of Scientology, according to leaders of the cult-like religion.
The Mission: Impossible star has been told he has been “chosen” to spread the word of his faith throughout the world.
And leader David Miscavige believes that in future, Cruise, 44, will be worshipped like Jesus for his work to raise awareness of the religion.
A source close to the actor, who has risen to one of the church’s top levels, said: “Tom has been told he is Scientology’s Christ-like figure.
“Like Christ, he’s been criticised for his views. But future generations will realise he was right.”
Cruise joined the Church of Scientology in the ’80s. Leader L Ron Hubbard claimed humans bear traces of an ancient alien civilisation.
They are just trying to save him because he has been bankable.
I don't doubt it, but what about wife. Perhaps he is bisexual.
I really have no idea what Scientology entails (as far as the worship etc part). I know there is a center on the west side of Manhattan (in the theater district) and they put folks through this so-call psychology testing (they call it clearing)--for a price of course. I have seen Hubbard's book around, but never bothered to do anything with it except for a brief perusal. Fill me in folks.
I have Latent procrastinator Syndrome. I was gonna go to the dr. but I thought I'd wait and see..........
Check out the link in post #1.
"Like Christ, he’s been criticised for his views."
Yeah, plenty of difference between "critcised" and "crucified".
That would make the møøselimbs mahdi...
LOL
Hilarious!
Still have your hankie? You might need it again...
I thought you had a vowel movement...
"It all began 75 million years ago. Back then, there was a galactic federation of planets which was ruled over by the evil Lord Xenu. Xenu thought his galaxy was overpopulated, and so he rounded up countless aliens from all different planets, and then had those aliens frozen. [At this point, the text "This is what Scientologists actually believe" appears on the screen, and stays on the screen for the rest of this sequence.] The frozen alien bodies were loaded on to Xenu's galactic cruisers, which looked like DC-8s, except with rocket engines. The cruisers then took the frozen alien bodies to our planet, Earth, and dumped them into the volcanoes of Hawaii. The aliens were no longer frozen, they were dead. The souls of those aliens, however, lived on, and all floated up towards the sky. But the evil Lord Xenu had prepared for this. Xenu didn't want their souls to return, and so he built giant soul catchers in the sky. The souls were taken to a huge soul brain-washing facility, which Xenu had also built on Earth. There the souls were forced to watch days of brain-washing material, which tricked them into believing a false reality. Xenu then released the alien souls, which roamed the Earth aimlessly in a fog of confusion. At the dawn of man, the souls finally found bodies which they could grab on to. They attached themselves to all mankind, which still, to this day, causes all of our fears, our confusions and our problems."
Lol, Tom Cruise and Scientology are the gifts that keep on giving.
Hollywood is a funny place. The liberal bastion that it is; so many gay actors have to stay in the closet because they know it will affect the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ if they make their debut out of it. And I don't hear Hollywood championing gay actors.
