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.

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.

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.
