How Scientologists get married (Weird Vows)

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."

No, he's not a robot. He's just another lost soul who has chosen Baal wearing the Scientology mask of A. Crowley's disciple L. Ron Hubbard, satanist extraordinaire.

Hey I have a GREAT idea remake the movie (hollywood is so good at remakes) of an Officer and a Gentleman and put a real Man in the role.....

Any thoughts on who could play the part?
I would vote for Fredrick Ljunberg of the English soccer team. I love his Calvin Klein ads.

Catholics?????
Well obviously not practicing their faith....

I always liked Mimi Rogers in her acting roles....Micheal the Angel that a young what's his name played was entertaining.

Britney the ex virgin Mousekateer dumped her whore of a husband and is NOW trading viruses with the ex husband of the Chick who played in the remake of the movie with the Southern Guys and fast car out running the Law.

Well, if the Weekly World News says so, it's gotta be the truth!

Maybe Tom could marry Bat Boy next. That would set Ed Anger off!
