"The BEST scientology-information website there is:

Everything you want to know about how they work and how to combat them.
The Man who runs this site truly deserves support to keep it running."...........................

Maybe that's how Michael Jackson really lost all his money. Kirsty Alley supposedly overcame her cocaine habit through Scientology. Other celeb membrs are Lisa Marie Presley, John Travolta and his wife. Doesn't make them idiots persay. But Tom Cruise IMHO has always been overrated. I know he's very popular with some women including Florence Henderson but he never made me weak in the knees!

Scientology is a extremely evil paramilitary bizarro group that uses movie stars to further their exploitation of the naive and weak brained. It is all about money. Their belief system about space aliens from the planet something or other is psychotic.

And L Ron Hubbard was a classic sociopath and nut case, setting the tone for the current evil loon leadership.

[jlogajan]

I find it hilarious when one religion calls another religion "kooky."

[two23]

Waitr till he has to open up his wallet to get rid of the alien spirits that invade his innards...oh geesh. I can't believe people get sucked into stuff like this.

[gcruse]

Did you notice where Cruise didn't take up scientology until after Top Gun? Seems he wasn't so dislexic that he couldn't read the script. Or maybe it was just superhuman effort.

[fortunecookie]

and discovered the "Study Technology" the religion's founder, L. Ron Hubbard, developed in the 1960s.

Let's not forget that his books were written and marketed in the 50's, 60's & 70's as SCIENCE FICTION.

I remember, as a child in the 70's, seeing the paperbacks in the sci-fi bestseller displays (and later self-help) at the mall. My mother recognized it as drivel and cautioned me about it then.

What a sweet deal for all the cling-ons, his pals, who recognized the money potential of the apparently easily suckered 'me' generation and who developed it into and marketed it first as self-help then as a 'religion'. Follow the money trail...

A friend of mine researched Scientology when his stepdaughter was tempted to get involved with it. He found out that Hubbard considered himself a disciple of Alastair (or is it Alistair?) Crowley, a notorious Enlgish pederast, uncloseted homosexual, satanist who considered himself a warlock and was into black magic. He practiced what he preached, too. He may have been a murderer as well. And Hubbard conisidered Crowley his mentor and "spiritual guide".

Ironic...Top Gun was his last good movie.

[gcruse]

LOL Danged if it weren't.

[doosee]

I think there are still lawsuits in play in Florida where the nuts claim that Hubbard's estate cannot be settled because he actually never died even though he physically perished. Didnt Hubbard work on the Manhattan project as a nuclear physicist?

[Rodney King]

The celebrities who support Scientology are outright evil. It is one thing to be suckered into a cult, like the masses of Scientology. It is a whole thing altogether to essentially live off of the slavery of the masses, while allowing the organization to use your image to recruit more slaves. Let Tom Cruise go through it as a regular schlub with no money, and then see what he says.

[AdmSmith]

Consider this

"Cruise, who previously was a Bill Clinton supporter, may have been lobbying the White House for the funding of Scientology programs through President Bush's faith-based initiatives program, according to some familiar with the organization."

Dump him!

RE: "Didnt Hubbard work on the Manhattan project as a nuclear physicist?"

Hardly. Scientology has made all sorts of claims of the life experiences of their leader (par for a 'cult of personality') but military records acquired with a FOIA state that L. Ron Hubbard washed out of the Navy with a disability pension (for psychiatric problems), after being found unfit for command (he target-bombed Mexico, during World War 2, among other misadventures). He also did attend one freshman-level class in Physics at GWU, and got a "D".

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Tom previously attended one of the Roman Catholic junior seminaries in Indiana, and stopped going. When he stopped, he was virulently anti-Catholic and anti-clerical.

Draw your own conclusions.

[pogo101]

I don't think he's an idiot or airhead, but I do think that he's been taken in by, and in my utterly unproven guesstimation being blackmailed by, a slick, known-by-its-leaders-to-be-fake cult.

[kdmhcdcfld]

One of the reasons that Nicole and Tom's marriage fell apart was the fact that in spite of her "indoctrination" into Scientology, she still yearned for the moral and spiritual foundation that she had received from Catholicism.

[jd777]

Show me to the "Spaceman!"...

[Milesdavislover]

Uhhh, he divorced her...

[Milesdavislover]

How can an idiot memorize all the lines for all the movies he has made?
