If she was, she traded it in to join the "do whatever it takes to make it big in hollyweird" church.

Inside Scientology

Unlocking the complex code of America's most mysterious religion

The faded little downtown area of Clearwater, Florida, has a beauty salon, a pizza parlor and one or two run-down bars, as well as a bunch of withered bungalows and some old storefronts that look as if they haven't seen customers in years. There are few cars and almost no pedestrians. There are, however, buses -- a fleet of gleaming white and blue ones that slowly crawl through town, stopping at regular intervals to discharge a small army of tightly organized, young, almost exclusively white men and women, all clad in uniform preppy attire: khaki, black or navy-blue trousers and crisp white, blue or yellow dress shirts. Some wear pagers on their belts; others carry briefcases. The men have short hair, and the women keep theirs pulled back or tucked under headbands that match their outfits. No one crosses against the light, and everybody calls everybody else "sir" -- even when the "sir" is a woman...........More over here

I'm pretty certain that this was also one of the reasons behind the Cruise-Kidman breakup. She wanted their adopted children to have a Catholic upbringing and Tom was all Scientology.

Anybody seen Tom exercising his parental rights with those kids?

I'm glad Tom has found a "religion" that works for him, but I hope he learns the lesson that's been taught throughout history--you cannot brute force people into religious conversion. Didn't work during the Crusades, didn't work during the Inquisition, didn't work in Puritan America.

What he doesn't realize is his whacked out behavior actually DISCOURAGES people from even considering exploring his "religion".

It's a cult, with the tax free rights of religion.

Like the church of Monday Night Football who watched football Monday nights religiously.

Glad I'm not the only one that noticed that!

We can thank the Clinton Administration for their tax free status. In fact, Clinton assigned the case to Sandy (pants) Berger.

Bill Clinton wanted a positive portrayal of himself in the movie "Primary Colors", and after the cult got the assurances they wanted that the Clintons would also pressure foreign governments to support the cult, Travolta and the Church of Scientology agreed use their massive clout to protect Bill and Hillary.

There are numerous other examples of the incredible politics involved here in that thread.

I never ever agree with boycott's (just a personal decision), but I will boycott Tom Cruise from now on. I tell you he WAS such a great Actor and person, but since he divorced Nicole Kidman, he has become horrible and crazy. He is forcing his religion on people and that is just plain wrong. So I hope everyone skips Mission Scientology III this summer and everyother movie he is in. I was pissed at Katie Holmes for getting herself in the position of pregnant with a sleasey idiot, but I bet he talked the smooth talk to her and she was just too immature to understand the BS coming from him. I now feel sorry for Katie and figure she just made a mistake due to the overbearing jerk called Tom.

>Aleister Crowley, who openly supported the National Socialists, was affiliated with Ordo Templi Orientis, A.A. (Order of the Silver Star) and other such occult lodges all across Germany. Crowley engaged in all manner of deviancy, homoeroticism, sadomasochism and murder. Much of the occultism in National Socialism is derived directly from there. Crowley envisioned himself as the Great Beast (To Mega Therion), just as der Fuhrer made himself in that image. Hitler's life as a struggling, inept artist was where that association blossomed.

Crowley's creed, "Do what thou wilt, shall be the whole of the Law," (which is actually from Francois Rabelais) and used by Neo-Pagan nutcases without attribution for obvious politically correct reasons, is with certainty no different than the National Socialist "will to power," or their ubermensch mentality.

It is also no accident Nietzsche's "over-man" and nihilist philosophy and resulting insanity from venereal disease closely mirrors the insanity of der Fuhrer.

These occult orders, sex and drug cults still survive today, as do the Neo-pagan, Neo-Nazi groups, black supremacist Rastafarian potheads, prison gangs and other related filth.

Crowley occultism is also from where L. Ron Hubbard emerges with Scientology. Note the NAZI symbolism of that kooky cult of weirdos and their deviant adherents who advocate homoeroticism and other perversions. Hollywood Cultural Marxists love Scientology.

Doesn't the turkey baster manufacturer get a say in this?

Catholicism or Scientology?

Some choice!

I call for a boycott of "Mission Scientology III" this summer to send him the message.

I'm way ahead of you. I've been boycotting Tom Cruise movies for the past 15 years.

[Beth528]

Two very bad choices..Either being brain washed by this crazy space group or being molested by a priest..The child should make its own choice when it gets old enough..

[jslade]

Why do scenes from Rosemary's baby keep flashing through my brain?

My thoughts exactly!

[9999lakes]

Do we get to vote?

For the record, I like Cruise movies, never heard of Katie Holmes before she got hooked up with Cruise, and think Kidman is the ice princess.

I can think of several memorable parts Cruise played, and not a one by either Holmes or Kidman. Does that matter? No more than how this kid, who's going to be very rich and very good looking, is raised.

ROFL!

Holy cow--that has to be the longest article I've ever read. What a bunch of gobbley-gook this "religion" is--but hey, I'm just a "Wog" and don't have the ability to understand. Some spooky scary stuff.

[beaversmom]

In reading that article about Scientology it said masturbation and homosexuality are big no no's.
