Tom Cruise will save the world from aliens

[greyfoxx39]

The entire article is fascinating..and disturbing. How could millions of people fall for the rantings of a con man in the belief that they can become the equivalent of God? /sarc

Cruise isn’t exactly at the top of the IQ chain.

Nor in the middle.

Do you get the trend here?

It’s pretty clear by now that Tom Cruise is an alien. The only question is what planet?

[EQAndyBuzz]

“Tom Cruise will save the world from aliens — not on the big screen but in real life.”

I honestly thought that saving the world from aliens was Cruise’s day job.

For his part, Cruise believes his true aim in life is to convert all nonbelievers into the church, which, according to Scientology, will result in Earth’s salvation.

Might I suggest a bullhorn and one-way ticket to Mecca?

Look at another scientologist, Kirstie Ally. She achieved the level of OT, very high up in the ranks which meant she has control over her environment. Well if that’s so, why did she blow up to 200+lbs and the only work she could find was to shill for some weight loss program?

I saw a documentary on Hubbard once...complete and utter con man, for most of his life.

It like a child with a comic book.

Are non scientoligists the aliens?

Tom Cruise thinks he’s on planet to vanquish aliens ...

Well he’d better get busy - seems like we’re surrounded by ‘em.

[Patriot Babe]

Not sure with them but I do know Obama is. I wonder if Tom will save us from ODumbo

Burned in my mind is this memory of Tom Cruise. To paint the picture, its the evening of the Lady Diana crash. The news is so fresh, its not clear that Diana is dead yet. Cruise takes it upon himself to call in to CNN....and to a great extent - its all about him (he starts at 1:44)

Strictly based upon what I've read, Scientology would appear to possess certain aspects of a mafia, with every member having skeletons in the closet. This means they're controllable. Are there any poor Scientologists?

I'd suspect it's regarded more as an obligation to get ahead and therefore not taken seriously by most, like joining any number of lodges with hokey initiations and rituals.

Then, there are probably the true believers. Tom Cruise was unusually close to the top guy, according to some written accounts. He no doubt got this impression from him, if true.

The world rolled out the red carpet for him, for decades. It doesn't anymore. Depending upon Cruise's level of stability, that could be taken to “mean” any number of things.

Per Scientology, we are all born with aliens inside us. Occassionally they bubble to the surface and an alien war destroys the planet.

Chosen ones like Cruise vanquish their inner alien, and are ‘here to help’ the rest of us do the same.

I imagine scientologists buy alot of junk from late night infomercials, as they seem to be a weee bit on the gullible side.

He’s a nutty nut nutty but he makes a heck of a movie.

I wish I had known about this inner alien thing a long time ago. It’s nice to know that I wasn’t responsible for all the mistakes I’ve made and things I did wrong. It was the inner alien.

He didn’t do squat to fight the martians. He spent the whole movie running from them.

He did however beat Tim Robbins to death with a shovel so he does get points for that.

It is Chubby Rain becoming reality (Bowfinger movie reference).
