Cruise "Tried To Convert Johansson"

Internet Movie Database ^ | 6-21-05

[Paul Atreides]

Scarlett Johansson pulled out of appearing in the second Mission: Impossible sequel after Tom Cruise tried to convert her to scientology, according to reports. Cruise, who produces the action adventures, met with Johansson ahead of casting for the upcoming Mission: Impossible 3 and took her to one of the controversial religion's headquarters, claims Radarmagazine.Com. A source tells the website, "After two hours of proselytizing, Cruise opened a door to reveal a second room full of upper-level Scientologists who had been waiting to dine with the pair, at which point the cool-headed ingénue politely excused herself." Officially Johansson quit the film because of scheduling conflicts after the film was delayed so Cruise could make War Of The Worlds.

She does look possessed. She's been worked on for a few weeks by the best scientologists.

How on earth did his sister manage the damage control after the Oprah-stravaganza? Yikes, they're freaky. She must have powerful friends, to get that debacle glossed over. See my #77 - That's the rumor. Katie's like a show dog on a leash. She needs to look pretty and gush over her owners and stay in line.

Tom needed a beard and fast, so some young starstruck starlet to the rescue! With the help, of course, of a little scientology...

Deep-fried, yum!

That movie is hilarious. I wonder if Tom Cruise even speaks to Steve Martin after he spoofed Scientology so perfectly.

If memory serves, Bowfinger was written and directed by Frank Oz. And it was a HILARIOUS takedown of that cult. I wondered if he had a run-in with Hubbard's Henchmen.

Yeah I saw that Inside Edition episode yeah apparently this how Cruise fire his long time loyal agent few months ago replace him with his sister

It really weird I think Tom is heading for mental breakdown seem like it

[AmishDude]

That was too good not to post

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.

Xenu the alien ruler 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.

OT3 in Hubbard's handwriting 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. Part of the first page of the secret OT III document in L. Ron Hubbard's own handwriting

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

I have posted this on another thread:

Cruise divorced Nicole Kidman. How stable can the guy be? There should be a "Kidman Law" banning women from being that hot.

[Petronski]

"Babies! [sob]
They were just babies!"

[Riverman94610]

What happended?Well,as a 21 year old naive guy trying to"find truth",I got involved with this wacky female from a San Francisco suburb who to this day I feel she seduced me into this organization.
Anyway,I went for the okey doke and got cleaned out of my meager savings-200 bucks-and this Jezebel actually almost convinced me to drop out of school and work at "The Org"for fifty bucks a week.
I was told that if I went "clear"I could leave me body at will,make love for hours and read minds!Pretty cool,huh?
Man,I will never forget that at that time their biggest Scientology"stars"were the rock group,The People,who scored big with "I Love You"in the summer of 1968.
I was impressed.
To this DAY I still get their literature in my mail.Once you get on thier mailing list you will NEVER get off!

[AmishDude]

He's Tom Cruise. Unfortunately he has that kind of power. There are people in my profession who I'd listen to politely for two hours while they pitch some nonsense to me.

[Kirkwood]

She should have turned the tables on old tom and signed him up for amway.

[DoughtyOne]

Read post 81. I was going to intimate the same thing.

To me Nichole looks almost manic at times. She is a lovely woman one moment, then verges on someone that I am uncomfortable watching the next.

Look, different strokes for different folks. I will say it was a disappointment when I found out she was playing Samantha in Bewitched. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! That's how I see it.

If memory serves, Bowfinger was written and directed by Frank Oz.

I remembered wrong. According to IMDB.com, Bowfinger was directed by Oz, written by Steve Martin.

[Paul Atreides]

Or, worse: given his name to the Highlander catalog.

[DoughtyOne]

Wow, sounds like you got outa there just in time to miss the part about the 72 virgins. LOL

[Constitution Day]

Hear, hear!

He is obviously insane or gay. Perhaps both.

[Paul Atreides]

Betcha Katie and Tom split in about 2 months.

There he'll be, alone and stuck with a big Toys R Us bill.

[Dr.Hilarious]

LOL

Never to know their first love, their first ballgame, their first audit...sniff...

[Will_Zurmacht]

Lately, Tom Cruise makes Michael Jackson appear normal.....

[Riverman94610]

72 Virgins?
Hey,back then,ONE virgin would have been plenty for me!
