Tom Cruise on Scientology
 
I really couldn't decide which forum to put this in, but this is the most entertaining video I've seen in a long time:

The Tom Cruise Indoctrination Video Scientologists Don't Want You to See.

DSTCHAOS 01-15-2008 04:58 PM

The music is funny.

Tom Cruise needs to go back to being an ACTOR. That's all we want and need him to be.

smiley21 01-15-2008 07:07 PM

Forget acting. Tom just needs to go away.

skylark 01-15-2008 07:13 PM

Is he high?

ETA: I really like his bit about wanting to "romp" and "play" but he can't because he "knows" and "has to do something." Huh?

DSTCHAOS 01-15-2008 07:14 PM

Did anyone look at the other clips? Katie Holmes and Diane Keaton on GMA. Interesting.

BetteDavisEyes 01-15-2008 07:54 PM

What. The. Hell. Scientologists creep me out.

Scientologists are the ONLY ones that can help when driving by a car accident? :rolleyes: What happens if we're not on board with them?
They are the ultimate authorities on getting people off drugs, mental conditions, etc. :rolleyes: They can even rehabilitate criminals! :eek: I'd love to see them try to rehabilitate Richard Ramirez or Charles Manson. :rolleyes:

Tom is batshit crazy. Just what is this new reality Scientologists keep talking about? His laugh is creepy.

I keep wanting to remind these people that they began as an L. Ron Hubbard book. :rolleyes:

I remember how terrified I was of those book commercials when I was little. Along with those Time Life commercials on ghosts and stuff.

I remember those too! The alien picture they would show and UFOs and others creeped me out. I remember having nightmares from the Time Life commercials.

You too the words right out of my mouth! I was only able to listen to about 2 minutes of it. I don't know what the world was doing before scientology came about:rolleyes:.

Tom Cruise was talking like someone ong GC types. LOL

/continue hijack
I was more afraid of the photos of ghosts that are disguised as puffs of dust and cobbwebs behind doors of old houses. The theme music was frightening also. But horror is still my favorite genre and I'm obsessed with things about the paranormal.

I made it through 4 minutes, but man was that painful!!! :(
Tom Cruise is creepy!

SoCalGirl 01-16-2008 01:06 AM

Does anyone else secretly want to see Britney become a Scientologist just to see if it's humanly possible for her to be any wackier? :p

barbino 01-16-2008 01:27 AM

OK, I'm in. Yes, I'd Looooove to see Brittney become a Scientologist because there isn't much more wacking out left for her. She's getting close to the limit. Scientology would allow her to enter a whole new exciting dimension in weirdness. It would also align her with Tom Cruise and other assorted oddities.

nittanyalum 01-16-2008 01:32 AM

Ohhhhh, I shouldn't have watched that. VERY disturbing. I found the references to all that they are "authorities" on bothersome. And on a side note, I had no idea we were all so "dependent" on them. I hate being a burden. And oh, the maniacal laughter!!! Eeek!

amycat412 01-16-2008 01:56 AM

Oh My God. He has the same creepy intense stare as my ex. and my ex was certifiably non medicated bi polar bat shit crazy.

WarEagle07 01-16-2008 02:36 AM

Why, Tom, why can't you romp and play? What do you have to do that takes you away from romping? Poor Suri has a father who has to save the world and has no time for romping and playing. What will become of her? Gosh, she might turn out to be an SP and have to go to Crimina for rehab. Crazy is as crazy does.....

Oh no, you've got to go to the end, where you can see that the whole thing was the video for him receiving the Freedom Medal of Valor at some Scientology award thing.

There just aren't words to describe the crazy.

OleMissGlitter 01-16-2008 10:30 AM

Super freak, super freak! That guy's a super freak!

33girl 01-16-2008 11:19 AM

There are so many good quotes in this thread I want to make the whole thing my signature.

Tom, Tom, Tom. I had your "All the Right Moves" poster (which my mom had them take out of the display because it was the last one and I wanted it SO much) hanging in my dorm room/bedroom for 4 years, you got to see all the naughty things I was doing throughout those 4 years, and this is the thanks I get.

NutBrnHair 01-16-2008 11:22 AM

I thought he was nuts when he jumped on the couch...I thought he was crazy when he gave Brooke a hard time...This is insane.

ForeverRoses 01-16-2008 12:32 PM

Hey according to Tom, the Scientologists have the "way of happiness" that can unite cultures and cause world peace. So how about we load up Tom, John Travolta, Kirsty Alley and all the other 'tologists and fly them to Bagdad. They can do thier "thing" and either we have world peace or we are saved from another "Battleship Earth". Its a win-win either way.

BetteDavisEyes 01-16-2008 12:56 PM

Question: Are his other 2 kids (Connor & Isabella) being raised as Scientologists? We know Suri is.

I doubt Ms. Urban would go for that. That shit is probably the reason she divorced him in the first place. Well, that and the fact that she was contractually bound to wear flats at all times.

honeychile 01-16-2008 02:45 PM

Was there a cohert thought in that whole mess?

BetteDavisEyes 01-16-2008 02:50 PM

I read 2 recent articles from interviews both Nicole & Katie gave about those 2 kids. Nicole was mad because Connor & Isabella started calling her 'Nicole' instead of mom so she said she chewed them out every time they did that.

In the Katie interview, she said how Connor & Isabella called her "mom" now and she loved it.

It sounds like there's some brainwashing going on in the Cruise camp.

I'm just about Katie's age, and it would creep me out to have two kids over half my age call me mom in a literal sense.

So did anyone catch what SP or KSW or any of his other acronyms stand for?

I think I read in comments on that page that an "SP" is a "Suppressive Person" (so a non-believer, I guess) and "KSW" is either a book or doctrine or something "Keep Scientology Working".

Sort of. Scientology defines a "Suppressive Person" as "a person who possesses a distinct set of characteristics and mental attitudes that cause him to suppress other people in his vicinity. This is the person whose behavior is calculated to be disastrous." These people work against the betterment of people or groups. LRH said they make up about 2.5% of the population. Here's the Wiki article on SPs.

Keep Scientology Working is a LRH policy. To not Keep Scientology Working is a Suppressive Act, making one an SP.

I tell you, you just couldn't make this stuff up.

Oh. Wait. L Ron did. Silly me.

I honestly had no idea scientology was so weird. I have so much less respect for Travolta and Holmes now. I can't say I have less respect for Cruise... since after the Brooke Shields fiasco I'm not sure he started out with enough to measure a significant decrease.

SP - Suppressive Person. It's a term often associated with enemies & critics of the church.

KSW - Keep Scientology Working. A policy letter written by L. Ron Hubbard that all Scientologists must study consistently. It has something to do with the ethics protocol Scientologists must follow.


Tom also mentions Criminon which is a program using Hubbard's techniques which are used to rehabilitate criminals. :rolleyes:

Did you ever read about the Jenna & Bodhi Elfman incident?

It pains me to think that celebrities like Will Smith and Jennifer Lopez might have been brainwashed by Tom Cruise and those freaks.

33girl 01-16-2008 05:57 PM

I can't stand Jenna Elfman. She is the queen of monotone.

Will Smith is a pretty canny cat - too canny, I would think, to buy this shite. I wouldn't be surprised if he's just faking it to get ahead and laughing hard in the process.

skylark 01-16-2008 06:09 PM

I hadn't heard about the Elfman incident.

My favorite part of the article is this:

Roecker says Jenna repeatedly said "What crimes have you committed?" and began screaming at Roecker, "Have you raped a baby?" as motorists on Los Feliz Boulevard drove by in snarled traffic.

How do these people NOT understand that they sound like complete lunatics? At some point wouldn't you sort of step outside yourself and observe something like: "Gosh. I sound like an alien from another planet."

I think that's Crimanon. And there's also Narcanon. :rolleyes::rolleyes:
