his is big news. Thought he was a lifer.


More than that, Chicken - he was like the #2 or #3 guy in the entire organization, reportedly - so maybe that's not true.

It is going to be tough for him to walk a lot of that crazy stuff back, though. He was the face of both celebrity recruiting and church recruiting, generally for well over a decade.

Some people like to hold their children....Especially when they are ill.

How about you worry about your own before shaming others?

Some girls went out in LA and ran into a drunken Trey Parker, who told them about a party he was at where Travolta was hitting on the guy who founded MTV.

This is the first step in Cruise coming out of the closet since being gay is the cool thing to be these days.

Oh yeah, it was like a combination of a cult and over the top tv evangelicalism, but with a massive budget.

I hope he leaves and it somehow all implodes.

Just read up on the Church of Scientology because of this thread. Bunch of nut jobs. Had no idea they had basically taken over Clearwater. Freaky stuff.

I just watched the documentary. Holy shite. I hope it all crashes down.

And a local dentist brought this into Baton Rouge? Sad.

Avoid EST, Landmark Forum and JMW. All pop-psychology wacko's based on Scientology.

My company forced JMW on many of us. It was a big waste of time and delivered bad results for several.

Watched the documentary last night. Unbelievable!!! I'll never understand how people can be coaxed into something like that.

Yep. Where is the building located? I remember seeing it, but can't remember where it was.

The HBO documentary put Cruise in as much of a bad light as it did Scientology. I wouldn't buy the "worried about Suri' bull shite that his PR team is floating. After I watched the documentary I thought how in the heck are Hollywood execs not affected by that, surely that will hurt his career? Obviously I was right. He had kids with Nicole Kidman and sat back while the church turned them against her. Tom Cruise don't give a shite about anything but Tom Cruise.


Agree 100%

I thought the same thing about his career when I saw that documentary. At some point, even Tom Cruise is too toxic, especially given the reports that people didn't like working with him because he'd bring in massage therapists for the cast and it'd turn out they were people from the church trying to evangelize about how great it was.

If Tom Cruise leaves the church, it's because it's a career move designed to make him more marketable under the auspices of being a good dad.

I am halfway through watching the scientology documentary here.

And I think Tom's mental stability around anyone much less a young child should be questioned. Way before worries of a spoiled hollywood brat. L. Ron Hubbard is beyond bat shite crazy. His new leaders are far worse. It is a sick, beyond sick, cult.

The Church of Scientology just moved into the old Great Wall restaurant off of Airline. Before that, it was in the 'medical neighborhood' behind the current location. It used to be located right next door to my dentist.
