Thanks ... I agree that the underlying claim is what's most offensive ... and as has been pointed out, the idea that Tom Cruise is even close to being in the same league as Jesus is ludicrous.

>> Possibility... it had something to do with John Travolta having a weird beard if I recall the plot corrctly. <<

No, no, no! Tom Cruise has the wierd Beard: the little girl from Dawson's Creek. (Had you or had you not read on this very thread that "beard" is Hollywood slang for the wife of a gay?)

I flirted with the organization back in 1968 for a minute.
Don't laugh folks.I also flirted with SDS and the John Birch Society along my journeys.
Anyway,Scientologists believe all your problems stem from"engrams",or negative messages you got while in mom's womb.The whole Scientology program is designed to free you from the engrams so you can attain a level of being where you can do anything you wish,including leaving your body at will.
The only thing I ended up leaving was $150 in L. Ron's coffers.

Tom: "I'm Jesus Christ!"

First Follower: "I'm Napoleon!"

Second follower: "I'm Henry the VIII!"

Doctor to nurse: "Yeah, it's been like that ever since he got committed here..."

Battlefield Earth was the one with John Travolta in dreadlocks. It made Plan 9 From Outer Space look like Shakespeare by comparision.

Reminds me of the one John Travolta hit record back in 1976 with the lyrics slightly altered-
Gonna let HIM in,gonna let HIM in,oh oh
Gonna let HIM in my life

I read the biography of Rock Hudson's agent. In discussing some of the "outings" in a libel trial in the late 1950s, one actor, name forgotten, made a comeback with a tv show in the early 1960s, the public having forgiven him.

Well, the news wires ran what turned out to be a bogus story that he beat his dog for 15 minutes. The public did not forgive him for the false story, and the series immediately tanked, along with his career.

Cruise & Co. should be more worried about Scientology and any pets, rather than being [allegedly] gay.

And jumping on couches. At least he didn't dump lighter fluid on it...

I think Andrew Breitbart wrote a book on Hollywood. He was promoting it on the radio, and I think I heard him say that he was warned about implying anything concerning Cruise. So he said he did a global search and replace and added "the heterosexual " to all occurrences of "Tom Cruise".

>>And leader David Miscavige believes that in future, Cruise, 44, will be worshipped like Jesus for his work to raise awareness of the religion.<<

Among the many problems here, Mr. Miscavige doesn't seem to under Jesus' place Christianity

As soon as Tom rises from the dead, without the help of stunt men and animation, I'll worship him. Till then, I can only LAUGH at him.

I'd be careful if I were you....I believe the Anti-Christ is supposed to pull off that particular stunt.

That's an important point - a miracle does not make a God.

What about a pregnant woman in a coma, on life support?

Where are the negative messages supposed to be coming from in that case?

Still plenty of crap happening. Nurses talking, the machine that goes ping!, Doctors thumping the belly, next of kin blubbering (or gloating), TVs blaring, etc.

There's plenty of birth trauma and child rearing and such. But the really bad stuff conveniently all happened in past lives...
