“The devout Scientologist and his minions subjected his wife to relentless verbal abuse, emotional punishment, humiliation and intimidation, sources say, until Katie decided to break free of the controversial religion,” quotes a source.

I guess you ought to know that pimping your own blog on FR is looked down upon.

[InHisService]

I did not know that. Thanks for the info.

There’s nothing wrong with posting your blog. The problem is posting excerpts in order to drive traffic to your site and off FR. It is preferred that the whole article be posted.

Was anything about the strange cult that is Scientology not out in the open for Katie Holmes to know about?

Yet she still chooses to marry Tom Cruise and all his millions and have a daughter. Now we're supposed to feel for her? She's the real villain in this story. Want an original, courageous take on this story for your blog? Try that one.

I do not ‘feeeeeeeel’ anything about either one of these people. Personally I do not know why they are so special. BUT since it is impossible to escape them being/getting flaunted on darn near every so called ‘JonStewart’ media outlet.... I have decided it is a bit twisted that a kid through no activity of her own is ‘watched’ 24/7.
‘Villain’ should not be singular, and the ‘Kat’ has apparently developed a routine pattern in regards to women.

I usually avoid the hollywierd scene like the plague. But I have followed this story because I watch Scientology. Pictures of Katie throughout their relationship show a woman who went from normal beauty queen to beaten down and sad.

Very true. I don’t think she realized what she was getting into when she married Tom. She also married the cult of Scientology.

[InHisService]

At the age of 25 when she met Tom, I really don’t believe that she did know what she was getting into. She was blinded by her love for him and caught up the excitement of the relationship and eventually being married to the man she once, as a young girl, dreamed she would marry.

Who would expect a religion to dominate your life to the point where your phone calls and emails are monitored, and everyone around you is a Scientologist who reports back to Tom. She never saw this kind of abuse coming. And abuse is what it was. My heart goes out to her and Suri.

Thank you for the clarification.

25 is the new 15 huh? Would you be the same apologist for a 25 year old woman at your church who married an athiest and later claimed she was surprised that he didn’t want their children attending church?
