Hmmm... for not being scientific Psychiatrists sure do spend a lot of time in college, medical school, and medical residency.

Yeah, but look at all the classes the Scientologist have to take!

As long it does not harm anyone, it is fine with me.

The Dead... so far

Be sure to check out the section on just the people who have died at the Ft. Harrison Hotel, their headquarters in Clearwater.

Tim Curry was the only thing about Legend I liked. He was so evil and creepy, but strangely alluring. He reminds me of Gary Oldman in many respects. But even he couldn't save that turkey, IMO.

Cruise used to be kind of cute, but as he got older his nose seems to have gotten bigger....I mean, what a honker! What a weak chin!

Sean said he has friends who are Scientologists and also friends who belong to cults. He said he's not judgemental.

Sean is the all time butt kisser.

He constantly rants and raves about Ritalin. Evidently he has a sister who is a nurse, married to a doctor and thinks that makes him an expert.

Parents have a right to make their own judgemens about medical treatment for their children without being excoriated by talk show hosts.

I suggest those who want to bash the few remaining shrinks who'll take on the crazies that show up in your local, struggling emergency room...look after your own nutso relatives, keep 'em away from the hospitals if you don't believe they can help.

"Matt, you are so cute when you stare at me like that. If Scientology hadn't made me a heterosexual, I'd fantasize right now about ripping those interview questions right out of your lap..."

Few remaining shrinks? Last I looked there was one on every street corner and more coming. And NONE of them will take on the crazies in the emergency room, just the crazies that are willing to believe they need two years of therapy because they had controlling parents.

Tom was probably chosen by the church of scientology when it noticed how gullible and stupid he was.Only a moron would look at the work of a lunatic like L Ron Hubbard and see in it something worth devoting his life to.I know Tom is a fool because he doesn't show even the slightest bit of embarrassment over the fact that he's a devoted follower of a total crackpot.

Tom Cruise has the RIGHT to practice any damn religion he wants to and for some writer from the Washington comPost to make fun of it is or should be a crime

(Checking the Bill of Rights) Nope. Nothing there about the Right to have your religion not mocked.

RE: Your post #5

Good observation. We don't have a 'handle' on Scientology, and when one thinks about how absolute power corrupts absolutely, one has to allow for a depth of corruption which might be at least possible in a situation like this.

Remember Tammy Fay.

(Some of them can be worse than even liberal professors.)

Will any of this hurt Cruise's career?

"Don't immediately assume that he is ruining himself," said Allan Mayer, managing director of Los Angeles-based Sitrick and Co., which regularly handles celebrities' PR crises. "He himself has said he doesn't care, and who are we to say he's made a mistake? . . . What's the point of being a hugely successful and powerful movie star if you can't talk about the things that matter to you? We may think it's silly and bizarre, but it's obviously important to him."

In other words, Allan Mayer is scared spitless that Cruise, Travolta, and other Hubbard hucksters will boycott his firm.

It's been very gratifying to see that there was indeed a backlash against Cruise's heartless sneers at Shields. Even more enjoyable will be the backlash against another cult leader - Oprah Winfrey - for her ridiculous claims of after-hours racism.

"...Should be a crime." OK. Say that again, and then call yourself a conservative.

Doesn't sound consistent, does it?

Google Landmark Forum. It's Scientology under a new marketing plan. It all traces back to EST.

Eastern Standard Time?
