Tom Cruise Promises Not to Talk About Scientology Anymore if You Promise to Forget He Ever Brought it Up
 


Doth you ask a bird not to sing? Or a flower not to smell so sweet? So would you ask Tom Cruise not to talk about his crazy alien religion, Scientology, and convert all his co-stars into his Hollywood cult?

Guess so, because Tom says he's done playing the fool, and won't be talking about Scientology anymore.

There was some criticism in Germany about Tom being cast as Stauffenberg because the actor is a prominent supporter of Scientology.

Stung by negative comments about the religious movement, which has been accused of being a cult, the actor insists he no longer wishes to talk about his beliefs.

He said: 'I say, ‘That’s it, no more — go to the Scientology website’.

That's right, from now on Tom Cruise is only fielding questions about what it was like to identify with a Nazi (but a good Nazi). Everything else is strictly verboten.

Yeah.. he was all pro Scientology before it blew up in his face and the public found out the truth about the cult. In the new year, I hope that more people are educated about the abuses and crimes of Scientology and they do research and know the truth.

There iare actual testimonies from ex members, people are finally speaking out, and there are documents online to view, websites and especially the stories of the children that were in the Sea Org. VERY Sad. The Sea Org is Scientology's paramilitary orginization and is supposed to be the most elite members in Scientology. But in reality, they are the most abused members. Especially to children. Go to exscientology kids and read sad actual accounts from the children who lived it.
Google RPF, Scientology abuses,scientology front groups,Operation Snow White and Sea Org.
EDUCATE YOURSELF BEFORE YOU SUPPORT STARS THAT SUPPORT A CULT!

I can't stand when someone says "well what he does is his business".
Well, I read that Tom Cruise lobbied Washington DC back in 2003 to have every school in the US teaching L. Ron Hubbard Tech. I also read that the Prescott Middle School in Baton Rouge Louisiana has been teaching that program since last year. I know for sure I don't want my kids learning ANY part of Scientology. You can call it communication courses,study tech, or whatever you want. But what it boils down to is an introduction to Scientology and recruitment, no matter how you cut it. And I say NO THANKS!
Look how they took over the town of Clearwater Florida!

So in my eyes I agree, ANY person that supports an actor that is a Scientologist, is supporting the cult of Scientology down the line. This cult has many tentacles and I know all to well what they are capable of. They harass their critics and will stop at nothing to "clear the planet" as the Scientologists say. They are a ruthless bunch, and I can not beleive that our governmnet and any other government puts up with this stupidity and abuse.

Scientology???? Not in my house, not in my town, not in my state, not in my country, not in my world!

Oh Dear! Scientology? Yikes! No thanks!
They are a CULT from the word go. If you want to find out about Scientology do not click on that shiny little blue "Get The Facts" add you see to the right of this article. Or any yellow adds you see on websites here and there. That's only a link to their website which is loaded with LIES.

If you want the truth about scientology do not go there.
visit this website FIRST
http://www.exscientologykids.com

The abuses you will read about from ex Sea Org members will both sadden and horrify you. One of the people on that website is the niece of David Miscavige, Scientology's current leader. Read her accounts of the abuse,physical and sexual abuse, and the other kids in the chat room who would like to leave but they simpley CAN'T becuase they are trapped and are frightened to death. Read about the child slave labor. The members abuse and their billion year contract they have to sign.

Read the new book out which is "The Complex". That guy was in for 22 years and finally escaped and he just told his story. READ!
Then MAYBE you will understand why people are protesting and why Scientology should be INVESTIGATED and ABOLISHED.
You may say, well,,,, Tom is not trapped or imprisoned,, Well Tom is not in their Sea Org, or on Staff, and he is a celebrity. One of many "CASH COWS" for Scientology. Celebrities are kept in the dark about the unfunny truths of Scientology. And for a good reason. If they knew what was REALLY going on, they would not contribute any more money, nor be a member. Which is why they are treated like gold and all their cousrses and "auditing" are taken at the Celebrity Center. FAR away from all the evils of Scientology. You know… the Scientology Celebrity Center? Where they just gunned down one of their exmembers?
So what if one of the celebrities finds out about the evils of Scientology? Your asking why son't they leave? THATS because Scientology through their auditing sessions delves into each celebrities private lives and keeps all private info and everything on file. So if they ever threaten to leave, their dirty laundry will be aired to the public and their careers will be over. Get it now?

Support Tom Cruise? Or any actor in Scientology? Think Again!

Corrina. he knows every dirty thing that is going on inside his cult, that he rules over like the god that they tell him he is. He just doesn't care! He wants it all to continue as long as all his whims and desires are catered to by those that are abused and enslaved servicing his "Homo Novus" ego.

The only conclusion from this is that Tom Cruise is a truly evil little man, who is additionally insane… but with a whole lot of Hollywood power sent from hell.

Wow. If Cruise actually says this publicly, I wonder what is going on behind the scenes in the cult. And I wonder how Cruise reconciles the fact that despite being part of the "only true religion", it has such a bad reputation that he has to deny it.

He probably doesn't think anything - Those expensive brainwashing sessions, they really work, by all accounts.

Man this is sad when people hate because of someone else has a different belief or a different religion. It is also sad when fellow Christians threaten the lives of children. Tom and his family are receiving death threats. Majority of you are like so what he is evil. But who really is the evil person? Is it Tom? or is it person who even threaten Suri Cruise?

This is a report from a reliable news source -
The couple has reportedly received threats on their lives as well as the life of 2-year-old daughter Suri from groups opposed to their practice of Scientology.

David,

That "reliable source" is Cruise's PR person, not the police.

Scientologists have a long history of calling in fake bomb threats and anthrax scares. Google Operation Freakout. While I'm sure there's some celebrity stalkers out there who are truly crazy, the goal of anti-Scientology protesters is to have those in the cult who participate in criminal activities brought to justice. The first I've heard of violence against Scientologists is by their PR spokespeople.

Yet another Tom Cruise name bashing were religious cults gather to bash on Tom Cruise. Why not talk about more important things like fixing the growing poverty levels in the United States, or homelessness. What about stopping Racism or even sexism. Why are you people so worried about what a entertainer believes in. My God the guy is a entertainer not a senator or a president or even a political contender. Why are you so freaking worried about Tom Cruise and his religion? Does he have that much control over people? I doubt mister Mission Impossible can have that much control. He is a celebrity and entertainer I do not understand all the negativity towards him.

I am not a fan of Tom, his whole Scientology thing is kind of weird to me, but then again I am a rational person as well and look at life different. When I was younger and someone told me that a man parted the Red Sea I would have said noo way. Also when they told me about a huge boat that carried two of every animal in the world males and females I would have said you must have gotten a hold of the wrong stuff. And to turn water into wine….. Well you get my drift. But in all I believe in God. Tom Cruise is just a entertainer and that is all. He creates and acts in good movies.

@Pilaar Kila: I am a American Muslim and practice Buddhism. My parents are against it but this is the religion I believe in. History teaches us that the Roman Catholic Crusades were the most bloodiest of wars. History teaches that the Crusades campaigns were also directed against pagan Slavs, Jews, Russian and Greek Orthodox Christians, Mongols, Cathars, Hussites, Waldensians, Old Prussians, and political enemies of the popes. Crusaders took vows and were granted an indulgence for past sins.

Scientology is NOT a religion.

Scientology is a fraudulent and abusive organization that CLAIMS to be a religion, in order to shield itself from taxation and criticism. L. Ron Hubbard didn't start Scientology because he had a deep spiritual insight to share with the world. He started it in order to make money and accumulate power.

"Make money. Make more money. Make others produce so as to make money . . . However you get them in or why, just do it." –L. Ron Hubbard

What on earth is 'religious' about that?

We all love talking about him. If we did not care we would simply stop talking about him and Tom would disappear because the media would not cover what people are not interested in.

For those of you who think Scientology is 'no big deal,' I suggest you read this enlightening article.
It's entitled 'US Court rules Orthodox Jews cannot use the same tax deductions as Scientologists'.

http://counterknowledge.com/?p=1348

What tax deductions, you ask?

The short of it: the Sklars, a jewish couple tried to get a tax deduction for their children's religious-based education, but the IRS refused, stating that such a thing 'was reserved for those in Scientology.'The Ninth Circuit Court turned them (the Sklars) down by stating that such a thing DIRECTLY VIOLATES the First Amendment of the Constitution, the first line of which is, 'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion', which simply means that the government will not show favoritism of one religion over others.

Now WHY, pray tell, should one supposedly 'legitmate' religion receive tax benefits that are not offered to those of other religions? Think about that for about five minutes. Is that fair, especially when it's in direct violation of the Establishment Clause?

Go ahead. Google Scientology Sklars tax break and see how many hits you get.

There are NOT worse beliefs. Scientology is not only destructive to the mind, but they charge you hundreds of thousands of dollars to 'help' you. It is clear to anyone with a brain of their own, that Scientology is clearly only concerned with money. Couple that with the Disconnection Policy, and the Fair Game policy, and you have a very scary cult. You need to read up on the facts before you go spouting off, read Dianetics. Cause I have read Dianetics, and it is crap.
