L. Ron Hubbard is Suri Cruise’s Daddy (http://backseatcuddler.com/2008/01/05/l-ron-hubbard-is-suri-cruises-daddy/)

http://i6.tinypic.com/818mli9.jpg

Suri Cruise was conceived using the frozen sperm of L. Ron Hubbard! Many fanatical Scientologists believe this. Morton compares it to Rosemary’s Baby “in which an unsuspecting young woman is impregnated with the Devil’s child”. Suri is the Alien Queen!

Tom Cruise is the #2 Scientology member in the world!

Tom has an extremely close relationship with Scientology leader, David Miscavige, and David even came to his honeymoon with Katie Holmes.

When Tom was falling in love with Nicole Kidman he told David he wanted to run through a field full of wild flowers with her. So David had his Scientology goons plant a field near Tommy’s home. He didn’t like it the first time, so he made them do it again.

Nicole Kidman has kept her mouth shut, because she’s afraid her audit tape will be leaked. When you join Scientology they “audit” you and tape all your confessions. It’s mostly about your sex past and Nicole doesn’t want that getting out.

When Tommy was dating Penelope Cruz, her father was afraid of the cult known as Scientology, so he emailed an organization that helps dealing with cults.

Tommy’s next mission is to recruit David Beckham.

Here Dave Beckham prepares to be recruited by Tom.

http://i11.tinypic.com/85fa7oz.jpg

David Beckham, meanwhile is "designing the outfits for the upcoming Spice Girls tour."

"He has been looking at pictures of Julien Macdonald's collection on the internet and has also studied other designer collections."

"He is drawing different strengths from various fashion designers, but obviously Victoria will have the final say."

David - who is renowned for his fashion sense - has decided the outfits will all be black with different themes to match each of the girls' personality.

I really like Tom Cruise.

Okay his beliefs are a bit batty but to my mind no more batty than any other religion.

And he seems to be a genuine and nice guy.

for everyone that calls him a prat or similar I always think well,yes he may well be a prat ....but a good looking,witty,charming WEALTHY prat.And therein lies the difference.:D

He's wealthy because he made a bunch of crappy movies. I don't really care about his religious beliefs, either, or his robot wife. I think they are pretty boring.

some of his films are crap but some ar brilliant.

Far and Away i love as i do Collaterall and the Last Samaurai.And he can act.He`s shrewd and a gentleman.he always stays out for hours at premiers whatever the weather and signs.He`s not in the least bit arrogant like Russell crowe and others.And to be quite honest you don`t really get to be where he's at in life if you are anything short of talented.

[Dave]

You could be right. I haven't watched his movies for a long time, so haven't seen the ones you mention.

[slum mum 1974]

Please tell me you didin't watch all of that..... :eek: I was bored after 2 mins :D

[mar2d2]

Far and Away is one of the worst movies EVER! i mean honestly that movie should be banned! i specially hate Cruise's TERRIBLE Irish accent, it's like an American making fun of Irish people for 2 hours.

That video is crazy, he says absoloutely nothing. Scientologists should start scripting their videos.

[*EqualOpportunityHater*]

EOH saw a brief clip of Gay Cruiser laughing like a psycho on cable news. No need to watch the whole video above.

BTW He is one of the worst actors ever in cinematic history. :cool:

[Paulc]

yeah i did just waste 5 minutes of my life watching that - he said NOTHING!

i dont get it

he keeps saying "only they can do it", only "they should stop at an accident cos only they can help" "we do our bit" "etc etc"!

what is it they do exactly? anyone got any specifics?

as for his movies - i watched RainMan the other night - great film, havent really liked anything since then.

Well we all have different tastes.I found Far and Away a good bit of trivial escaspism.

At least we all have excellent taste in music.:D

a)scientology is a money making business under the guise of a religion and it is a cult that hurts people, not helps. Especially when it tells psychiatric patients they should stop taking their medication, much less post partum depression patients or regular clinical depression patients who need medication not just talk.

b)Tom Cruise most likely went into it in the early 80s to try and 'un gay' himself (like travolta)

c)the video? I cant even watch it. I minimized it and listened and the words all started to mush together and make no sense.

d)L. Ron Hubbard was a psychiatric nightmare. The reason Scientology has this huge thing against psychiatry and psychiatric drugs is because L. Ron was against it because, like most clinically extremely mentally ill people (re: Britney), he refused help and ran from it, secluding himself in his own maniacal world and made up religion.

In case you're wondering, SP is "suppressive person", ie people who think he's batshit crazy when it comes to scientology. and KSW is "Keeping Scientology Working".

Did you know when they audit you they require confessional about everything you've done, especially sexual, and they tape the confession?

[mozmal]

Tom Cruise can act, just witness his superb performance in Magnolia. But what he's waffling on about in this video is anybody's guess. Scientology, what a load of garbage.

[Cassius]

Admit it: if this guy wasn't a wealthy, well known, and good looking actpr, and was instead, say, your next door neighbor, you'd be scared of him.

[bogdana]

i am personally MORE scared of him bc he's wealthy and well known. every time he's on tv talking stupid i envision thousands of people suffering from schizo or bipolar tossing their pills out the window and then succumbing to hallucinations or violent mood swings but telling themselves "Its ok, i'll get through it because Tom Cruise says I don't need drugs!!"

[Hellie]

Yes his views are a bit batty...but is it more batty to believe we are descended from aliens or that there are angels.?There truly are people who believe in angels and the bible in a very factual way.There are even people on this planet barmy enough to truly believe the world was made in seven days etc...:confused:

whatever Scientologist believe is one thing but fundamentally they believe in good and good deeds.

As far as I' aware tom Cruise has done no one any harm with his beliefs.

he does a lot of harm with misinformation about medications and psychiatric care. This stems from Scientology. But i dont want to debate it. fundamentally its no weirder than christianity but its not helping anyone at all. its sci fi with a moneymaking twist and an excuse for people like hubbard to not take medications (when he was living)

I used to live in a heavy Scientologist recruiting area and believe me they are not harmless. If Tom Cruise's celebrity is responsible for bringing a few more vulnerable people into the trap, he has done harm. It's a scam.

L.A. They had recruiters on the sidewalks literally studying the faces of each passerby looking for some sign of weakness or vulnerability. Whether or not you were accosted was determined entirely by your facial expression or your body language. People don't "discover" Scientology the way they might find Christianity. They are usually targeted and snagged. Clue number one something's not right.

I should add that I really like Tom Cruise as an actor. It actually grieves me a little to see what he's doing, not that I waste time worrying about it.

they did that in tampa. all over ybor city where they young and/or drinking were hanging about. THey are very sneaky about it too, with there "free personality test" and bullshit like that.
They even rented out a kiosk in the mall under that 'personality test' guise. they are merely trying to profile people that would be good to brainwash for their so called "religion".
scientology is pure evil. go to tampa or clearwater or LA and experience a few of the mindless "parishoners" for yourself if you don't believe us :(

When I found out Cruise was a huge scientologist and he started being aggressive about it i started personally boycotting him. the last movie i saw him do was the last samurai.

[Cassius]

I think Tom Cruise should be more responsible. Going on TV and declaring that people shouldn't take medication for their mental illness is idiotic. I'm sure it makes people with these health problems feel even worse about it, maybe even ashamed. I don't know anything about his personal life, but Katie Holmes seems a little more, I don't know, brainwashed since meeting Tom.

It seems a little dangerous to me and I am upset that people are buying into what appears to be a cult.

[nugz]

omg, how creeeeepy! his laugh scares me. .....mommy! :eek:


as far as his movies go, Born on the Fourth of July was pretty damn good. and Jerry Maguire of course. "I LOVE BLACK PEOPLEEEEEEEE!"

[nogodsnomasters85]

This is a total coincidence, i leterally, was about to post a thread about this. It's absolutely BATSHIT!!! The man is out of his fucking tree. They are most definitely a cult, although I maintain the biggest distinction between a cult and a religion is membership size. while Christianity is equally crazy, they're beliefs are mad, (See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientology) heres' an excerpt "In Church of Scientology doctrine, Helatrobus was an "interplanetary nation", now extinct, which existed trillions of years ago. ...The people of Helatrobus were responsible for implanting what Hubbard called the "Gorilla Goals", a series of implants created "between about 319 trillion years ago to about 256 trillion trillion years ago".. ..Helatrobans were motivated by a fear of free thetans and sought to restrain them by capturing and brainwashing thetans in order to weaken them" it goes on and on. I read Dianetics a few years back for laughs. Theres' a great book on Hubbard called "Bare Faced Messiah", the man was a total snake-oil salesman. If you think this stuff is interesting you should check out the Mormons, they are equally crazy.

[Hellie]

Isn't John Travolta a Scientologist as well?and Kirsty Alley?I wouldn't have said they were nuts.

All Cruise's diatribe about modern medicine etc has to be taken with a pinch of salt because like a politician you don't have to agree or take any notice.If it's true that he banned Katie from making any noise during birth or stopped her from having any drugs then at the end of the day thats her stupid fault.She may be married to him but she doesn't have to listen to him on everything single thing.

I don't care if he is as mad as a march hare.He's a good actor and is damn good looking.:cool:

I was just about to post something like this with the word "batshit fucking nuts"...you beat me to it.

Hubbard basically created this whole thing as a thumb in the eye to the IRS to show that he could make up a religion so he would not be required to pay taxes.

[bogdana]

i used batshit earlier. we must all read the same blogs.
yeah but they've gotten carried away with it and really are causing ethical dilemmas, however small (as in small groups of people affected).

O'Reilly? Cannot get enough. There are good segments and bad... but for the most part people get angry at o'reilly because he doesn't give a shit about people's feelings, he for the most -part is willing to tell people to take a good look at the bullshit they spew from their ridiculous mouths and exposes them for what they are.

A LITTLE over the top? Please. They're coverage is so warped and biased even for the American media. They deliberately twist facts and historical information to an almost incomprehensible extent. Moreover, they actually have liasons who actually take the administration talking points, and then work them into the program, thats' the opposite of journalism, thats' propaganda.They constantly bring on "experts" like Ann Coulter or Bill Kristol or Tom Delay giving these horrible creatures and the vitriol they spew a veneer of legitimacy to those who don't know better. I have yet to see a good o'Reilley moment, oh, except when he denounced OJ's "If I did It" thing, he makes shit up half the time, recently he said there are no homeless veterans in america. (??!) When he actually invites somone from the opposite end of the political spectrum half the time he talks over them and accuses them of being unpatriotic.

Right, right. Erm... Boy that Cruise fella sure has some bats in his belfry. Better,..yes? Incidentally, does anyone have the slightest what he's on about? I mean, he's like "If I'm driving by a car accident,, I know I'm the only person who can really help.. (Personally, I'd prefer the paramedics to the scientologists.) ..You gotta commit yourself and do it... Now's the time... You have to decide if you're a part of it or not.." I mean... WTF is he actually talking about? I don't follow.

[Buzzetta]

You know... I actually "got" that line. I understood it to be that when he sees someone that needs assistance he is compelled to act instead of driving past and hoping someone else does something about it.

At least I am hoping that is what he meant.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
funny pics there :)

nicked this from the net somewhere


Tom Cruise talks for nine minutes in his instantly famous Scientology video — now, can anyone figure out what he's actually saying?

Apparently, non-Scientologists are just "spectators." It's a far nicer thing to call us — kind of like "Muggles in "Harry Potter" — than the term they usually use, "wog," which is more equivalent to the derogatory "Mudbloods" in the "Potter" books. Here's a breakdown of some of the other Scientologese words, acronyms and turns of phrase — culled from a variety of sources, including books, Web sites, and current and former church members — that might get lost in translation:

LRH: L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Church of Scientology and author of sci-fi books such as "Battlefield Earth" and "Mission Earth."

"I take this as a half-ack": What was that sound? A furball? Actually, a "half-ack" — a half-acknowledgement — means you were encouraged. In LRH's communication theory, you have to give signals to pre-clears (people who have not yet "cleared" themselves of unwanted emotions) — like "good," "OK," "I got that." Get that?

KSW: Keeping Scientology Working. Refers to a policy LRH published in 1965 that requires all Scientologists to follow his words and rules exactly.

"It is something that you have to earn": Cruise is referring to taking Scientology courses. According to the church, to get to the higher levels of Scientology — he's an OT VII, the highest level is OT VIII — you must complete a number of courses and auditing sessions, a sort of Scientological take on the Catholic confession. And it all costs; depending on your level, the tab for wisdom can be hundreds if not thousands of dollars. To finally learn what the basis of Scientology's precepts are (about how we got remnants of space aliens known as thetans trapped in our system), you must attain the level of OT III. The secrets of Xenu aren't free!

"Am I going to look at that guy or am I too afraid?": Cruise's relentless stare is actually a technique from "Success Through Communication" training routine (TR) drills. According to former and current members, pre-clears have to learn to look someone straight in the eye for hours. It's supposed to generate self-confidence and intimidate the other party. No blinking!

"... Because I have my own out-ethics": The church says ethics are moral choices but belong to a distinct moral system, based on LRH's book "Introduction to Scientology Ethics." If you misbehave, you have "out-ethics." If you're behaving, you have your ethics "in." To put your ethics "in" someone else, as Cruise later says, is to make someone else conform.

"The ability to create new and better realities and improve conditions": "Conditions" refer to LRH principles, which are charted on a scale. It's a Scientologist's goal to "improve conditions," which means improving your relationship with yourself and to those within your group. The "conditions" (in order) are: confusion, treason, enemy, doubt, liability, nonexistence, danger, emergency, normal, affluence, power change and power, according to numerous accounts of church practices. These are the practical applications of "ethics."

Tech: Otherwise known as "ethics tech." The methods and principles learned in Scientology courses.

"Orgs are there to help": Not Orcs from "Lord of the Rings" — orgs, as in Scientology churches and other organizations, such as Narconon, Criminon and Second Chance, all of which can be found online.

Criminon: Scientology group that recruits through prisons, promising alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

SP: "Suppressive Person." An SP is someone who commits suppressive acts, like murder, criticizing Scientology or altering LRH's teachings, according to former and current members. Journalists are automatically considered SPs because they traffic in bad news and so are barred from entering Scientology. Psychiatrists would also be SPs, so Cruise says, "Crush these guys! I've had it! No mercy! None! Go to guns!" as a call to arms. Since all's fair in war, LRH once issued a policy called "Fair Game" that decreed that anyone who opposed Scientology could be "tricked, sued or lied to and destroyed." The church says it no longer officially practices this, however, it is still a fairly contentious organization.

PTS: "Potential Trouble Sources," as in Scientologists who are losing the faith or are being influenced by an SP.

PTS/SP: A course in how to "handle" and/or "disconnect" PTS and SPs, which usually costs about $1,600, according to estimates from church members.

"Ways to Happiness": Actually, "A Way to Happiness," a booklet of the Scientology version of the 10 Commandments, except theirs has 21 Commandments. The number-one precept is "Take Care of Yourself." Also on the list: "Don't Be Promiscuous," "Set a Good Example," "Do Not Murder," "Do Not Harm a Person of Good Will" and "Flourish and Prosper."

Perhaps "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry said it more succinctly: "Live long and prosper."

Good post. Disturbing shit. Fox is the new Pravda. It's so sad because most of the viewers aren't intelligent enough to see through it. I especially hated those clips w/ Lieberman, he's such a douchebag,...and he's as crazy as Tom Cruise! (::throwing in obligatory Cruise reference::)

Just give me a shrink and some, "lah, lah, lah, lah, lah, interesting drug(s)" I'll save joining a cult for catching a ride on that next asteroid headed for the Mothership!!!
