Re: Tom Cruise on Scientology (video)
What do I think?
I think Tom Cruise is batshit crazy, looney tunes style.

Re: Tom Cruise on Scientology (video)
I hate him. He should go play on a highway. I wish he would shut up already.

Re: Tom Cruise on Scientology (video)
I keep picking up on a superiority complex in regard to what feels or thinks he has with his religion. Even within his religion, in the video, he is coming across again as viewing himself as superior to others in his religion.
Awhile back on the Today Show , I felt he showed his real side. He went from laughing hysterically to looking furious in that interview in a matter of minutes.
I think he lost a lot of fans from that interview. I was never a huge fan of his. Every time I see him, I reflect back on that interview.

Re: Tom Cruise on Scientology (video)
He has a huge superiority complex. It really makes me wonder how balanced his relationship is with Katie.*
Some self-important quotes from the video:
-
Being a Scientologist . . . When you drive past an accident, it’s not like anyone else. As you drive past you know you have to do something about it because you know you’re the only one that can really help.
-
We are the authorities on getting people off drugs, we are the authorities on the mind, we are the authorities on improving conditions... we can rehabilitate criminals.
-
Being a Scientologist, people are turning to you, so you better know it, you better know it and if you don’t, go and learn it, but don’t pretend you know it. It’s like we’re here to help.
-
Apparently, humility is not a part of scientology
*From usmagazine.com, the talk about Andrew Morton's new unauthorized book on Cruise:
Morton claims Cruise had Holmes sign a document before they started dating that allowed "Scientologists full control over her life." The alleged document required Holmes to "turn only to Scientology's treatments" for herself and her children's welfare and "must never use psychiatric care or psychiatric drugs."
Holmes' rep had no comment and the Church of Scientology told Us, "Ms. Holmes never signed any agreement."
-
But in fairness, at least from the USmag version, I'm not sure Morton claimed that it was an agreement with the church versus with Tom.

Re: Tom Cruise on Scientology (video)
I thought the same thing, COBI, in regard to Katie. I can't imagine being married to this man. I felt myself face sneering the whole time viewing the video. I kept telling myself, "Stop sneering. It's only a few minutes." He really doesn't say how they help people at all. If this is so great and successful to cure so many things, share it freely. What's the big secret?

Re: Tom Cruise on Scientology (video)
I personally dont believe in worship, but im all for people having religion in their life if it is used positively, and not forced upon others. However Cruise comes across as the alien loving version of a jehovah's witness. This preaching, control freak attitude of his really rubs me the wrong way. Katie Holmes was a 'virgin 'til marriage' girl next door, so its a bit odd that when her girlhood crush starts dating her, she gets knocked up and turns into Victoria Beckhams prettier sister. Though in all honesty this could bear no relation to her getting together with Cruise.
Its amusing that Cruise has put himself on his pedestal given how much of the general public feel about him.
I hope that all of those rumours are false, and that they are happily in love with each other. But unfortunately every time i see a photo of them i think 'business arrangement'.

Re: Tom Cruise on Scientology (video)
He thinks he knows so much information, but he has no insight of how much of a jackass he looks like to so many. That statement where he has no problem putting his ethics into someone else really gets me. In my opinion, he isn't a good poster boy for Scientology. All that talk about nothing is supposed to bait people in it. I suppose. But, it just comes across as arrogance to me.

Re: Tom Cruise on Scientology (video)
He is a really good actor regardless of his religion. And from what I know its scientology treatments helped him overcome his stuttering, which I hear was really bad.
It reminds me of a quote from the simpsons movie when one of the police guys tells the head of EPA "sir you have gone mad w/ power" and he replies "of course Ive gone mad w/ power, have you tried going mad w/o power? Its boring no one listens" so yeah, I think he's gone looney.
I cant believe Katie turned down Batman 2 and went ahead and took on "mad money" fuuuugggg that money looks really dumb.

Re: Tom Cruise on Scientology (video)
I don't know if it's just me, but I have found a change in Katie of late. Don't get me wrong. She looks beautiful. She just doesn't appear as spontaneous. She looks like she is posing and a bit stiff. She doesn't look like the free spirited woman anymore. Perhaps, it is from having a child or is it from hanging around Tom. ???

Re: Tom Cruise on Scientology (video)
It's funny because in transcript of this video, one of the trancscipters actually typed in his stuttering.
However, I know he claims Scientology corrected what had "misdiagnosed" as dyslexia.
