PARIS (AFP) - The Church of Scientology provides for several kinds of wedding ceremony for its followers, but according to the most traditional the husband "may promise to provide her (his wife) with "a pan, a comb, perhaps a cat."
US actor Tom Cruise and actress Katie Holmes will provide perhaps the most high-profile Scientologists' wedding to date this weekend.
And according to unconfirmed reports in the Italian media, American Scientology leader David Miscavige will fly in from Los Angeles to preside over the event.
According to the Scientologists' book "The Background, Ministry, Ceremonies and Sermons of the Scientology Religion", there are five versions of the Scientologist wedding ceremony: traditional, informal, single ring, double ring, and concise double ring, all of varying length and formality.
Scientology's "traditional ceremony" includes such advice to the groom as "Now -----, girls need clothes and food and tender happiness and frills, a pan, a comb, perhaps a cat.
"All caprice if you will, but still they need them."
The bride is told: "Hear well, sweet -----, for promise binds. Young men are free and may forget. Remind him that you may have necessities and follies, too."
I surmised that would be what her press release would explain, however, her hand is backward. Was Tom "fashionably" late to his nuptialology?
Scientology is another face of black magic. Hubbard was A. Crowley's disciple and just found another way of stealing souls away into madness and Darkness.
Scientology is a made-up religion that got L. Ron Hubbard rich. That was his goal.
LOL - good one!
Very nice!
I read somewhere that Katie Holmes Cruise was born in 1978. Eleven years earlier, in 1967, Nicole Kidman was born. Eleven years before that, and we have Mimi Rogers born in 1956. And aren't they all Catholics?
Just found that interesting.
Just ask Lisa McPherson.
...but, but, did they register for a cat ? I have a Rat Tail Comb.
You ugly? :)
LOL,,love the oak leaf cluster!
Is it over yet or do I have to read the thread?
well, you are here so do you give a teeny mouse's arse?
I think Britney is trash. These people are more of the loon disposition. I guess you could be both but they dress too well and look too good to be real trash. Now Britney with her bosom hanging out of her too tight top and her major league trashy husband is real trash, southern trash, the best kind of trash.
No, its a cult. Only available to the very wealthy.
If we had to read it, you do too.
You are so right...
Oh, come on! It was the lead story on our morning news, noon news, evening news, world news, national news and they didn't interrupt the football games to tell us the precise "no-flyover-zone" moment of glorious nuptialization.
I haven't read the thread yet.
I ain't Tom Cruise, but I'm okay with that.
