The Scientology thing -----


WHY does this upset some of you assholes??

He joined when he married his 1st wife, and somehow it worked for him so kept it, and no her

I have never really heard him try to sell it to anyone

SO WHY ???

reply

The late Lisa Marie Presley and Will Smith are members as well. It is a strange theology, but I respect it.

I'm an asshole and it doesn't bother me in the least.

As long as any religion (whatever that means) doesn't export their beliefs by force or coercion on others, I'm fine with it. I'd expand more but I'm late for my local Asshole Support of New England breakfast meeting.

reply

One couldn't care less.

The only thing that would bother me is someone coming over and proselytizing.

As far as I know, Cruise never tries to convince anyone to switch.

If Scientology works for Tom Cruise, hey great, it's his life, his business.

reply

He literally went on TV going off about "E-meters" and dianetics, trying to justify it, it was all over the TV years ago, do you have amnesia or alzheimers or just forgot ??

reply

You mean where he tried to warn the violent pervert Matt Lauer (s.p.) about Big Pharma?

reply

Is that right? One doesn't follow Tom Cruise. IN fact one has no interest in him.

What I do recall, it was around the area of 2005. I thought he was a lunatic.....

Unpleasantness with Matt Laurer

The only other thing I'm aware of is a video he did. One doesn't know the year. Let me see if I can find it......

The only thing I was convinced of after watching this video is Tom CRuise is a lunatic. Scientology should be avoided at all costs.

reply

That unpleasantness with Matt Lauer aged very well though. Lauer earned his me-tooing.

*Edit: I'll add that I disagree with TC about stimulants. If I had the means to roll out of bed into a plane to parachute every morning I probably wouldn't need Adderall anymore.

reply

Adderall hasn't worked for me at any level, much less as a stimulant

reply

I quite admire Tom Cruise, four decades on Hollywood’s A-List and still a big box office draw.

But that video is probably the greatest example of a midlife crisis ever filmed. It’s just too funny😄

Cool it Tommy, that shit is weird.

reply

Why are persons who object to Scientology "assholes"?

I'm like whatever. That's his business. Still, a lot of people don't like Scientology and they are not assholes.

reply

Well Kind of like The guy above that sorta/maybe recalled him going on and on about it when he was asked about it on TV
A celebrity is asked a question on TV about his beliefs and explains them makes him guilty of promoting them??
IF you believe that than you would be an asshole

reply

I don't give a shit about his religion. I respect the hell out of TC as an entertainer. He did go a little cooky like 20 yrs ago and lost me for a bit. Edge of Tomorrow was one of the best sci-fi films of its decade. MI movies are great. Seeing him at the Olympics closing ceremony made me feel patriotic which hardly happens anymore.

I think people have issues with Scientology's scandals and predatory practices so maybe think "How could TC be part of that?" But that's almost every religion.

reply

Well, if you knew the first thing about Scientology, its exploitation, its family-destroying structure, Cruise's relation to it, his use of child slaves who work for pennies on the hour, you'd already know. But instead, you start a thread trumpeting your ignorance.

i.e. you are a truculent dumb fuck.

reply

Hahahahahahaha hahaha Slaves that's funny hahahahahahaha

You're a pathetic, Inbred POS loser

reply

You don't know shit about Scientology, do you ?

Do you know what they call humans who spout off on matters about which they are willfully ignorant ?

It rhymes with dump truck.

reply

Ahhh sounds like you're a member -- OR --- someone they threw out

reply

the whole purpose of his post was to troll - do not feed the trolls

reply

I have a feeling he controls them more than they control him. I think he belongs to no one.
