Oh my god I still dont know what he is talking about.

For the record.
L Ron Hubbard is the founder of the chuch and he wrote the 10 book sci fi series Mission Earth. He was well known in the sci fi field. He also wrote Dianetics. Then he founded the church. He passed away awhile ago but his followers have become more prominent when they made thir Hollywood connection. Basically they want your money for their church.

Scientologist John Travolta paid out of his on pocket to produce one of Hubbard's books into a movie a few years back. The media and the church have been been watching Tom Cruise and his wife like a hawk because he is their new face of the church.

Haha, my first thought when I saw "Tom Cruise" in a headline, as well...

I was going to post this link a few days ago, but I figured it would result in my bannination after that last fiasco.

Just got around to watching the video. I just want to say that I feel more sorry that kid of theirs, than anyone else. For someone growing up and being influenced by such beliefs can really warp the kids mind. I have beliefs, and I may or may not instill some of that onto my own child, but not to a level that she can't make her own decisions. And since Tom is so black and white, good or bad; his kid is really going to be tormented inside making sure she lives up to her father's acceptance of her.

Well heck yeah. These people were all converts. Can you imagine what their children, who will have a whole life of it, will be like?

WOW..... anyone who uses the term "orgs" in a religious speech I have a problem with. I mean are you serious? I just want to ask him,

"Are, or are you not, the black angel of death" I believe this to be a Tommy Boy quote or a Tommy Boy 2 quote.

Serious when he talks about this and has that menacing laugh it seems almost demonic.

I was wondering how he was able to say this stuff with a straight face, he must be a good actor for being able to give this rant. He did lose it a little during the "SP" talk, but seriously who won't saying what he was saying.

He says it with a straight face because he believes it. Those people are brainwashed, big time! Many in that "church" who no longer believe are scared to death to leave. Families are torn apart. It's really quite sad and completely bizarre.

Crazy. Weird. Strange.

Weren't Katie Holmes' parents freaked out about Scientology before they got married. I wonder what their opinion is now and if they have been brain-washed.

Oh, as for Southpark. My #1 favorite is the Mormon episode. "Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb."

Oops, sorry, I think he makes her go by Kate now.

I would love to go to a Scientology church, or whatever they are called, just to see how crazy they really are and so I know who the crazy people in town are. But I am afraid of their mind tricking powers.

If Catherine Bell was there I would play the game. =)

My sister goes to some weird church in Phoenix. She took us once and it was just too weird for me. They spend more money on their audio/video setup in one year than my church spends on heating, ac, telephone, gas, water, in 12.
