Interesting then that you wouldn't get a couple of head shots done up and try to cash in on those $20 million pay days...doesn't sound bad to me -- just read the words that someone else writes and take home more money for 16 weeks work than most people make in a lifetime. Easy.

How can Scientology be a "religion." In the link to Xenu another freeper gave, I didn't read any mention to God or Jesus or a Savior or a Higher Power, other than one's self. Am I any where close?

And no, I am not a scientologist and have no intention of becoming one. But if I ever do research on them, I'll go to them to get their beliefs first-hand.
The point is that they will lie to you. So the conclusions of your research would be based on lies.

They're a cult. That's what they do.

They are a religion because religious organizations don't pay taxes.

With the exception of Batman Begins, all of her movies have been bombs. Reviews of Batman Begins say she is the worst part of it. At its very best all Dawson's Creek ever was was a Beverly Hills 90210 wantabe. She knows her career doesn't look that bright so she has alot more than Cruise to gain from their relationship.

First class brainwashing: stand up all the recruits in a line; instructor gets in your face and screams at you for a couple of minutes.

One of my sisters attended a class loooooong ago, and she ran like heck out of there.

Plus, the rotten little Scientology solicitors are positively nasty when rebuffed. They were all over Florida when I lived there.

In an interview now online on Entertainment Weekly, Tom Cruise addresses some of his insane tendencies of late, including flopping around on Oprah, taking shots out of nowhere on Brooke Shields and his ramped up commitment to Scientology, the only thing that can save the lost souls here on Teegeeack, or what you humans call “Earth.” Before anyone is too hard on Tom, just remember that his body is inhabited by the wandering souls of fried space aliens. So that sucks. And laugh if you want, but once Xenu is freed from his electronic mountain trap and order is restored to the Galactic Confederation, (an alliance of 76 planets founded 95 million years ago) you’re gonna feel pretty silly. No offense all of you who don't believe in Xenu, but you're kinda makin an ass out of yourself.

From IMDB: “Tom Crusies beliefs in Scientology are based on misinformation, according to Entertainment Weekly - after editors checked facts from a recent interview … Just weeks after accusing Brooke Shields of being ‘misinformed’ after she championed anti-depressants for helping her deal with post-partum depression, Cruise made a couple of sweeping statements to Entertainment Weekly (who checked) Cruise's comments and found out he wasn't accurate. Supporting Scientology claims that psychiatry is ‘a Nazi science’, Cruise stated, ‘Carl Jung … was an editor for the Nazi papers during World War Two,’ … (EW) researchers discovered this is untrue … The movie star continued, ‘Look at the experimentation the Nazis did with electric shock and drugging. Look at the drug methadone. That was originally called Adolophine. It was named after Adolph Hitler.’ The magazine also questions Cruise on this point, explaining, ‘According to the Dictionary Of Drugs And Medications, this is an urban legend.’”

This sure does feel like another witch hunt from the liberal media, cause if they have some proof that this religion - founded by a science fiction writer and based on million year old aliens trapped in volcano prisons - is some sort of sham, well, I would like to see that, sir. I would like to see your “proof” very much.

What about when TC says this in public:

Supporting Scientology claims that psychiatry is ‘a Nazi science’, Cruise stated, ‘Carl Jung … was an editor for the Nazi papers during World War Two,’ … The movie star continued, ‘Look at the experimentation the Nazis did with electric shock and drugging. Look at the drug methadone. That was originally called Adolophine. It was named after Adolph Hitler.’

"Carl Jung … was an editor for the Nazi papers during World War Two,"

There's nothing inherently wrong with this statement.

At any given time there are fewer than 200 individuals capable of putting asses into seats in any quantity. Likewise, at any given time, acting is a profession in which 99.9 percent of those in it are unemployed.

Supporting Scientology claims that psychiatry is "a Nazi science", Cruise stated, "JUNG (CARL JUNG, the father of modern psychiatry) was an editor for the Nazi papers during World War Two," which the magazine's researchers discovered is untrue, according to the New York Center For Jungian Studies.
