Tom Cruise on Scientology (video)

[SparklingWaves]

This video is showing Tom Cruise talking about Scientology. The interview doesn't show what Mr. Cruise was asked. Personally, I really didn't like the choppy style of this video. It's 9 mins. long.

What do I think?

I think Tom Cruise is batshit crazy, looney tunes style.

 

[user79]

I hate him. He should go play on a highway. I wish he would shut up already.

 

[SparklingWaves]

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.

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.

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?

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'.

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.

 

[flowerhead]

he's so full of shit - what makes him think he's so enlightened? his thoughts are very messy - just brainwashed babble

 

[glamdoll]

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.

 

[SparklingWaves]

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. ???

 

[COBI]

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.

nutjob!

I didn't even watch the video, but ever since that Today show interview, I've thought he was a completely certifiable and incredibly irresponsible. It's one thing to spout your beliefs, but it's quite another to insist they are fact and that everyone else is wrong, despite having little to no proof to back up the claims (speaking about psychiatry and drugs, here). Anywho, speaking of Katie, she's reminding me more and more of Nicole in her submissive wife days.

This is where he pisses me off the most. One day he is going to be responsible for someone going off their meds and commiting a crime and when the happens, I hope they hold him just as responsible.

He is an unfortunately prominent member of a cult.

Every time I see a video or picture of Tom Cruise, I think back to that South Park episode. I guess everything I learned about Scientology, I learned from South Park.

I saw that too and does stay in my mind.

Boy, I would like for him to meet a person that I know that is on state mandated medications. He would not want to be alone with this guy in alley with him off his meds. He would run for his life.

I agree with you. She is reminding me of Nicole too. She is getting so quiet and submissive looking. I miss seeing her laughing and having that free adorable youthful spirit about her. She comes across so much older than her years mentally now. Like I said earlier, she doesn't look bad at all. She is a beautiful woman. It's hard for me to put my finger on it. I know they are changing up her image, but I just keep picking up a difference in demeanor.
