This article is amazing in a frightening sort of way.
A brilliantly ominous beginning, no?
Uh-huh. Keep talking, we’re hearing ya.
Too AFRAID to discuss the situation? Good god. Maybe I will buy myself a Free Katie tshirt after all.
Read the whole thing.

I refuse to buy into all this cynicism. There are perfectly reasonable explanations for all of this.
For 16 glorious spring days, Katie and Tom were holed up in Tom’s mountain hideaway, making love, wearing sweaters and talking deep into the night. They would sleep late, take bracing walks in the hills, and enjoy long, contemplative silences punctuated only by occasional eye-locks, adorable half-smiles and mouthed “I love yous”. Tom would cook, they would laugh, and Katie would count her blessings that she had found a man who cared so, not only for her, but for our world. And who also loved vaginas so very much.
Her staff/friends were fired/excommunicated because Katie, for so long a startled fawn lost in the deep woods of Hollywood, had through Tom discovered her inner strength, and finally found the courage to let those people go who didn’t believe in Katie.
These people are afraid because the new Katie, the Katie who is truly mistress of her own destiny, is sure to become a powerful Hollywood madam in the mould of Julia Roberts or Susan Sarandon before she took herself so seriously. And no-one wants to get on her bad side lest she crush them like Dawson crushed her heart when she finally coughed it up and he did a runner.
And let that be the end of it.

Missing for 16 days?
What’s that? About how long it takes to fast-track yourself on the OT III?

I dunno about the castrating, VD spreading, wrong-person-killing, VD spreading angle, but Cruisey’s hardly practising what he preaches:
Have you driven anyone insane? Have you ever killed the wrong person? Is anybody looking for you? Have you ever set a poor example? Did you come to Earth for evil purposes? Are you in hiding? Have you systematically set up mysteries? Have you ever made a practice of confusing people? Have you ever philosophized when you should have acted instead? Have you ever gone crazy? Have you ever sought to persuade someone of your insanity? Have you ever deserted, or betrayed, a great leader? Have you ever smothered a baby? Do you deserve to have any friends? Have you ever castrated anyone? Do you deserve to be enslaved? Is there any question on this list I had better not ask you again? Have you ever tried to make the physical universe less real? Have you ever zapped anyone? Have you ever had a body with a venereal disease? If so, did you spread it?

Dear Y’All
Haa! I bloody Love Scienceology. Those questions are so amazing. I totally researched some more, check it:
Have you ever blanketed bodies for the sensation kick? Have you ever bred bodies for degrading purposes? Have you ever torn out somebody’s tongue? Have you ever had sexual relations with an animal, or bird? Have you ever eaten a human body?
And of course:
Have you ever been a religious fanatic?
GO SCIENCEOLOGY, YOU LEGITIMATE BRANCH OF SCIENCE!!
Yours Sincerely, IOYC Has Never Zapped Anyone

Maybe you have never zapped someone, but what about that time you deliberately came to earth for evil purposes? Busted.
I think I have found my favourite scientology question ever:
“Have you ever given robots a bad name?”

You know, I’ve never really understood what scientology has to do with science. Then again, crazytology doesn’t have the same ring to it.

I’m starting a religion called Mathematology, because, you know, it sounds all official and academic and stuff. Anyone want to join?
Reply to this

Dear E

A cult is a cult. Is, a cult.

Religion is all about the reshaping of words.
A cult. Is a cult? Is? A cult is: “a cult is a cult?”, is a “cult is a” cult.

Religion is also about fear of the unknown.

I’ve been thinking about it. I’ve been weighing up the options. And I’ve come to the only logical conclusion.
Tom Cruise is actually mentally ill. I’m not joking.
Dude, get help. It’s there for you. We’re all here for you. JUST TAKE THE FIRST STEP.

The convenient thing here is that of course ALL PSYCHIATRISTS ARE EVIL[tm] & [C] Church of Scientology
So even if someone with a solid background was to come forward and say “Yes, Tom Cruise is displaying all the symptoms of suchandsuch a Personality Disorder” it’d all be evil lies perpetuated by participants an a Marcabian conspiracy to enslave humanity.
etc.

When I worked in crisis mental health I used to find scientologists very frustrating to deal with. If we ever scheduled one (i.e. had them committed) a scientology flying squad of several people would descend on the psych ward in no time, trying to get them out before they could be assessed by a psychiatrist. It was like Team America for people with a mental illness.

L. Ron Hubbard = Prize nutbag. Way to ensure people don’t realise you’re a prize nutbag?
1) Start a cult and make yourself the leader 2) Ban or intimidate anyone who is likely to call you a prize nutbag.

(OK, this website’s a little on the nutty side itself, but pretty damn fascinating all the same.)

Okay. Enough is enough. NOW Cruise has had a stoush with Matt Lauer on the Today Show about Ritalin and Brooke Shields. The madness must stop! Either he needs to stop talking or his publicist needs to step in and have his vocal cords removed. Which would have the added benefit of making watching his films slightly more enjoyable too …

You know the worst part of this? I was really looking forward to ‘Batman Returns’. Now I’ll just be thinking ‘Right now, she’s strapped to a bed somewhere with her eyes clipped open, just like in ‘A Clockwork Orange’, being brainwashed into not dissing robots and thinking ‘Mission Impossible 2’ was a great film.
Sad really.

Scientology is not just a cult. It’s a great pyramid selling money making scheme. The ‘religious’ angle was introduced to get tax exemption status. It is banned in some countries and it should be everywhere as the fraud that it is.
Reply to this
Germany keep trying to ban it for this reason. This prompted a whole bunch of non-scientologist celebrities like Oliver Stone and Dustin Hoffman (ie friends of Tom Cruise) to sign a statement, published as a full-page ad in several leading newspapers, likening the treatment of scientologists in Germany to the Holocaust.

More and more and more information keeps coming out and I just keep getting even more morbidly fascinated by this. Did you read this article as well? http://radaronline.com/fresh-intelligence/index.php#report_001417 Or the piece in Defamer which hinted that the deal was $5 million for 5 years? Or the Fametracker report? God, I need help.
I am so buying a Free Katie T-Shirt. The sooner this relationship ends, the sooner we are all free!
