Cruise Says Holmes 'Digs' Scientology

Tom Cruise says girlfriend Katie Holmes "digs" the Church of Scientology. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Cruise says the 26-year-old "Batman Begins" actress is curious about Scientology, founded by L. Ron Hubbard.

"Yes, absolutely. She digs it," the 42-year-old actor tells the magazine.

When asked if he's become more passionate about Scientology, Cruise says: "I've always been passionate about it. I've always talked about it when people asked about it."

He also confirmed there was a Scientology massage tent on the set of his upcoming film, "War of the Worlds."

"...show signs of serious mental i[m]balance in public".

I don't keep up with these people since their hate-Bush rants but what was that about I saw a glimpse of on Leno's show of Cruise jumping on and off the guest's couch? Looked like Leno was trying to figure out how to get back control of his guest, the usual challenge.

Your remark sure brought that to the fore, I think you're right.

Lisa's family speaks

---

On December 5, 1995, Lisa McPherson was dead on arrival at a hospital 45 minutes north of Clearwater Florida. According to the coroner's report, Lisa was underweight, severely dehydrated, and had bruises and bug bites (see the entire report here).

Lisa's last address was listed by the police as 210 S. Ft. Harrison in Clearwater Florida, which is the Fort Harrison Hotel, a Scientology property. Lisa had been a Scientologist from the age of 18 to her death at age 36.

Lisa was put on the Introspection Rundown that Scientology uses to handle those who have had a psychotic break.

On November 18, 1995, Lisa was involved in a minor car accident. She was apparently not hurt, but she got out of her car and took all her clothes off and seemed mentally unstable. She was taken to a hospital where she was physically evaluated as being unharmed, but the hospital wanted her to be psychologically cared for. However, some Scientologists arrived and stated that Lisa did not believe in psychiatry, and she checked out after a short evaluation and left with the Scientologists. She went with them to the Ft. Harrison Hotel for "rest and relaxation" according to the church, but church logs from Lisa's stay there  from November 18 to her death December 5 show differently. Some logs are missing, and a high ranking ex-Scientologist has written an affidavit in which he claims that the church has in the past destroyed documents that might get the church in trouble.

The family of Lisa McPherson sued Scientology and individuals involved for wrongful death, while Scientology claimed it did nothing wrong toward Lisa (Civil Case settled 5/28/04). Scientology had a web page (removed or moved) that smeared Lisa's aunt and attorney.

On November 13, 1998, Scientology was indicted on 2 felony charges in Lisa's death.  On December 6, 1999, prosecutor Bernie McCabe presented a response to Scientology's attempt to get the case dismissed (note: 250k).

   On June 12, 2000 the criminal charges were dropped against Scientology because (so the prosecutor claims) the medical examiner could not be counted on to confidently testify, even though the criminal charges were abuse of a disabled person and practicing medicine without a license.  You can read much of the Clearwater police department's evidence and Scientology's  logs of Lisa's stay, view some of the autopsy photos, and decide for yourself. Then ask why Scientology now makes members sign a waiver specifically against suing Scientology over the Introspection Rundown:

Lisa clause or Lisa McPherson clause: an adhesion clause to insulate one party from all damages, including personal injury or death, from known and unknown conduct of commission or omission of the party so released. An "adhesion clause" is a recognized legal term which means "take it or leave it", i.e., that the party signing the agreement has no bargaining power and therefore no alternative but to include the clause in the agreement.

Scientologist OT 8 Dr. David I. Minkoff had his license suspended on August 3, 2001 for one year and was fined for prescribing medicine to Lisa without even seeing her at the request of Lisa's "caretakers."

   Scientology conducted a survey in the Clearwater area that shows 4 out of 5 residents have a negative opinion of Scientology. They tried to use this for a time as a reason for a change of venue, then withdrew the request. Why do Scientology web sites claim that Scientology and Clearwater have good relations?

Kennan Dandar is the attorney for the estate of Lisa McPherson.

Scientology is as much a religion as Radical islam is about being TROP.

Tom Cruise decided that if he couldn't father a child he would do the next best thing and marry one

Ooooo.... burn!

[discipler]

WARNING: Rant Alert.
The Hollywierd people are worse than dogs the way the jump from one to another. There is probably more inbreeding in Hollywood than any could imagine. Maybe their religion makes them wealthy, but it apparently says nothing about faithfulness. Oh how I remember the tabloids and Dianne Sawyers of the media fawning on and on about the great love between Cruise and Kidman. "It's gonna happen man" and it will last about 2 years when someone else comes along. Dogs, nearly the whole lot of them are dogs.

[unbalanced but fair]

he's chasing an Oscar

That's a waste of time because he's never going to catch it.

[Central Scrutiniser]

The "Who is Xenu?" pamphlet explains this sham pretty well:

Who is Xenu?

I'm going to tell you a story. Are you sitting comfortably? Right, then I'll begin.
Once upon a time (75 million years ago to be more precise) there was an alien galactic ruler named Xenu. Xenu was in charge of all the planets in this part of the galaxy including our own planet Earth, except in those days it was called Teegeeack.

Now Xenu had a problem. All of the 76 planets he controlled were overpopulated. Each planet had on average 178 billion people. He wanted to get rid of all the overpopulation so he had a plan.

Xenu took over complete control with the help of renegades to defeat the good people and the Loyal Officers. Then with the help of psychiatrists he called in billions of people for income tax inspections where they were instead given injections of alcohol and glycol mixed to paralyse them. Then they were put into space planes that looked exactly like DC8s (except they had rocket motors instead of propellers).


These DC8 space planes then flew to planet Earth where the paralysed people were stacked around the bases of volcanoes in their hundreds of billions. When they had finished stacking them around then H-bombs were lowered into the volcanoes. Xenu then detonated all the H-bombs at the same time and everyone was killed.

The story doesn't end there though. Since everyone has a soul (called a "thetan" in this story) then you have to trick souls into not coming back again. So while the hundreds of billions of souls were being blown around by the nuclear winds he had special electronic traps that caught all the souls in electronic beams (the electronic beams were sticky like fly-paper).

After he had captured all these souls he had them packed into boxes and taken to a few huge cinemas. There all the souls had to spend days watching special 3D motion pictures that told them what life should be like and many confusing things. In this film they were shown false pictures and told they were God, The Devil and Christ. In the story this process is called "implanting".

When the films ended and the souls left the cinema these souls started to stick together because since they had all seen the same film they thought they were the same people. They clustered in groups of a few thousand. Now because there were only a few living bodies left they stayed as clusters and inhabited these bodies.

As for Xenu, the Loyal Officers finally overthrew him and they locked him away in a mountain on one of the planets. He is kept in by a force-field powered by an eternal battery and Xenu is still alive today.

That is the end of the story. And so today everyone is full of these clusters of souls called "body thetans". And if we are to be a free soul then we have to remove all these "body thetans" and pay lots of money to do so. And the only reason people believe in God and Christ was because it was in the film their body thetans saw 75 million years ago.

Well what did you think of that story?

What? You thought it was a stupid story?

Well so do we. However, this story is the core belief in the religion known as Scientology.* If people knew about this story then most people would never get involved in it. This story is told to you when you reach one of their secret levels called OT III. After that you are supposed to telepathically communicate with these body thetans to make them go away. You have to pay a lot of money to get to this level and do this (or you have to work very hard for the organisation on extremely low pay for many years).

We are telling you this story as a warning. If you become involved with Scientology then we would like you to do so with your eyes open and fully aware of the sort of material it contains.

Most of the Scientologists who work in their Dianetics* centres and so called "Churches" of Scientology do not know this story since they are not allowed to hear it until they reach the secret "upper" levels of Scientology. It may take them many years before they reach this level if they ever do. The ones who do know it are forced to keep it a secret and not tell it to those people who are joining Scientology.

Now you have read this you know their big secret. Don't let us put you off joining though.

Mimi Rogers and Nicole Kidman really digged the cult too.

Except they are both smarter than Mr. Cruise, and are leading normal lives nowadays.

[Captain Peter Blood]

I am constantly amazed by the intelligent people taken in by Scientology.
L.Ron Hubbard was a third or fourth rate sci-fi writer and by his own admissions founded Scientology because that was where the "Money" was. That is all he wanted and he created a scam to get it.
Yet you have these high profile actors and others that would seem to have some intelligence and they jump whole into this thing and gladly hand over vast sums of money without so much as asking where it is going.

[Welsh Rabbit]

Now if I'm remembering correctly, Scientologists believe we're all actually ancient immaterial alien beings.

Don't forget the part where humans evolved from clams...

[scott7278]

Some of the links became apparently became corrupted upon pasting so I went to the website...do you know the story about the defaced brick under the table?

[Altair333]

This is without a doubt the most annoying public couple I can remember. I read one report about them "sucking face" in a restaurant with horrified restaurant-goers looking on. And the constant trying to convince us that they are the most in-love couple in world history. I wish a meteorite would land on both of them.

A match made in Scientology is not the same as a match made in heaver. I'll give the little creep 6 months to a year before she gets tired of him and moves along.

I must have hiccuped there or something.

[alisasny]

he is still handsome but its sort of hard for a gay leading man exposed to keep up the hot guy persona for 20 years

holmes will wake up...shame she bought into the publicity

[MarkL]

Tom Cruise decided that if he couldn't father a child he would do the next best thing and marry one.

Funny, I guess he's given up on older women. IIRC, his first wife was Mimi Rogers, who was more than a few years older than him. I guess he and Nicole Kidman were pretty close in age. Now, there's Katie... Three more relationships, and he'll be dating a fetus!

Scientology conducted a survey in the Clearwater area that shows 4 out of 5 residents have a negative opinion of Scientology.

Gee, where have we heard lately about death, Clearwater and Scientology all before?

Very telling.

[Issaquahking]

Terri Schiavo. When all is said and done, I'll bet that the group tied into supposedly treating her will prove to be scientologists or associated somehow.

[Hank Rearden]

Cruise says the 26-year-old "Batman Begins" actress is curious about Scientology, founded by L. Ron Hubbard.

So she's obviously dumb enough for that dimbulb Cruise. Maybe dumb enough to be a Moslem though, Tommy - better keep an eye on her!

[onedoug]

Wait until Tom Cruise moves on to his new "conquest" and Katie Holmes tries to move away form it. Will the media report on how she "digs it" then?
