As some other Freeper said on a related thread last week (I'm paraphrasing)...

There are three immutable principles of life:
1) You don't spit into the wind
2) You don't pull on Superman's cape, and
3) You don't follow a religion made up by a science fiction writer

She's more likely converting her checking account.

Converting implies she is changing from one religion to another. Scientology is a cult. She is simply dropping her religious beliefs, and later friends and family as directed by the cult, and joining the cult.

A religion helps to form your conscience, permits you to leave when you want, to donate as you can, and to associate with whomever you please, even if they advise against it. Scientology has a long, public record of violating all of these standards of 'religion'.

Good luck, Katie. Run, run fast and far while you still can.

Ah, yes, Nicole...here's an oldie but goodie

Last week when I saw a Letterman preview, she looked like a female version of Jack Nicholson. I guess it was the Joker-like eyebrows.

Yet another reason we (in our house) don't bother to pay for tickets, don't rent DVD's, don't subscribe to anything but basic Direct TV.

Kookburgers in Hollyweird can dance with snakes, suck cocaine, pilgrimage to eastern countries, lay on heating grates, go topless, march for world (socialist or any other totalitarian politic) peace, and eat bean sprouts all they want. We won't subsidize them anymore!

In an interview now online on Entertainment Weekly, Tom Cruise addresses some of his insane tendencies of late, including flopping around on Oprah, taking shots out of nowhere on Brooke Shields and his ramped up commitment to Scientology, the only thing that can save the lost souls here on Teegeeack, or what you humans call “Earth.” Before anyone is too hard on Tom, just remember that his body is inhabited by the wandering souls of fried space aliens. So that sucks. And laugh if you want, but once Xenu is freed from his electronic mountain trap and order is restored to the Galactic Confederation, (an alliance of 76 planets founded 95 million years ago) you’re gonna feel pretty silly. No offense all of you who don't believe in Xenu, but you're kinda makin an ass out of yourself.

Thanks for your thread mike,.. and I hadn't been to your website recently.. enjoyed it as always.

Well I am the odd ball here.. although his personal life sucks I have liked much of Tom Cruise's work..He might not be the best actor in Hollywood but some of the movies have been entertaining to me.

I admire the stars who make a apoint to leave the hollyweird mess & live like regular folks as much as possible. TC isn't one of them. And my background knowledge re scientology is that there seems to be some cult to fit anyone's belief systems.. here is a prime example.

I don't know what Mike would say but here's how I would reply.

The same reason so much other crap is posted on here - to inform and warn everyone else of those who use and abuse you, your life, your family, your liberties, etc., through the replies. Sometimes I only need to skim the article itself and then I learn a ton from others on here who are more knowledgeable about the subject at hand. As far as I'm concerned, not enough people know about this dangerous cult. The more it can be exposed, the better.

At best, only a second rate sci-fi writer of the 50's, he started calling his writings 'self-help' in the 70's, hit the talk show circuits, and later applied for status of 'religion' in the 80's because, in his words, 'that's where the real money is'. It used to be people like him were properly identified as cult leaders and warnings were issued (Jim Jones, the Moonies), but thanks to some aggressive, well paid lawyers, they now call themselves a religion. With very odd beliefs, particularly about illnesses and medications and aliens.

My wife has read the same thing. Nicole is a good Catholic who would not put up with the nutty Scientology crap Tom was trying to push on their kids..

From "Pretty Woman" to "Pretty Weird Woman", and in only 6 weeks.

Apparently, Mr Cruise-Control compensates for a lack of height (and maybe a lack of something else) by choosing mates who are tall, flat-chested, and eager to adore him.

There really is someone out there for everyone...

I'll expect to see that reported in all the newspapers, Entertainment Tonight, etc.

If I were to make the information known to those sources it no doubt would be.
