Wacky Cults part 1

[dotinthesky]

Tom Cruise and Scientology's leader David Miscavige, who are rumoured to have had a "very close" relationship over the years.

According to Radar Magazine's latest edition, David built for Tom a special compound in Scientology's Nevada "resort", with all the pleasantries money can buy. Tom and David would spend days alone in this compound, isolated from everyone else, sharing one bed, a small living room, kitchen, and a gym. Tom Cruise has now risen to become almost as powerful as David within the "religion", a step closer to assending to the highest rank.

Scientology Celebrities: Would you watch anything with them on it?

Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health. Book 2, Chapter 5, Page 120 says, in part:

"The sexual pervert (and by this term Dianetics, to be brief, includes any and all forms of deviation in dynamic two such as homosexuality, lesbianism, sexual sadism, etc., and all down the catalog of Ellis and Krafft-Ebing) is actually quite ill physically."

When I was in University, I was very curious about this cult (I can't call them a religion with a straight face.) One of my professors was worried about this interest (unnecessarily so.)

That frightens me in ways you can't understand- haha

*SHUDDER*

I have officially crossed Tom Cruise OFF the "Men I Find Appealing List" At least Jude Law only screws around behind his wife's back- none of this crap.... just.........yuck!!!! (some my girl-hood fantasies have been wrecked)

I never had Tom on my list. His big teeth always scared me.

[vilia64.livejournal.com]

Well, it had nothing to do with him speaking- haha

Glad I'm over it- and have been for a bit. The man is just confused and dumb.

For a few seconds I actually thought they were standing in front of a Stargate...

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Or the Enterprise.

bahaha - totally! I loved that movie. james spader was totally geek-boy dreamy...

Beck is a sciento? Didn't know that. An additional reason to dislike him, excellent!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Apparently, he was brought up by a Scientology family, so he really didn't have a choice! But I've been told that he's not into it as much as his fam.

[thermaland.livejournal.com]

What age is he now? 13 or a bit older?

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

12 and a half, I believe.

they seem like a religion to me - condemn homo acts for the riff-raff while the guys at the top go whole-hog

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Haha! Very true.

on a more serious note, it was interesting reading jenna elfman's "conversion" (or whatever) story - I don't know if she realizes she basically considers "scientology" to be the wizard of oz (in other words, it didn't give her anything she didn't already have)

strange

That was the impression I had of Scientology from the start: it's a religion that serves to pat these celebrities on the back and tell them that it's ok to make millions of dollars off a movie, that they deserve to be special and "superior" to everyone else. They are there to validate their empty existence, essentially.

According to the article I sited on this post, John Travolta had a whole retinue of Scientologists whose only jobs were to keep the bad news away from him, specifically anything involved with that turkey he released which was based on one of Hubbard's novels.

Yeah, I don't even know where to start.

The Operation Clambake website is a good combination of disturbing and amusing, though ;)

My favorite is reading the "high level" internal documents about the mirco-alien ghosts who were killed in past lives and other crazy shit like that.

Almost as funny as some of the David Icke stuff, although I haven't actually read anything of his, just had it recounted to me.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I like how they have to sign their lives away for "100 billion" years, or something equally preposterous, when they gain ascent in the cult. These people are living sci-fi lives for the rest of us.

No, David Icke is infinitely more insane than any of these people, and I actually feel sorry for him because of the amount of fear he must live in. Reading the things he writes really freaks me out, not because I believe any of it but because he really seems to, and the things he believes would be absolutely fucking terrifying if they WERE true. What a life.

I shall dedicate a post to David Icke one of these days. I saw two of his videos, one of them being an hour long interview with this woman who claimed to have witnessed sacrifices and helped dismember Princess Diana's body and send its bits across the world for the top Lizards to eat (the heart was saved for the Queen Mum, who was the most evil of all Lizards - LOL).

David Icke seems to have disappeared. I visited his website some time ago and everything was gone.

Nah, still there, just not as scaly: http://davidicke.com/

Jenna Elfman: "AIDS is a state of mind, not a disease."

......

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Somebody buy her a ticket to Africa!

[izzybees]

I'd prefer to slap her. I watched a good friend of my father's slowly deteriorate and die from AIDS. He was a fantastic person.

[izzybees]

Oh! I completely forgot that Alan's father (a high court judge here) presided over a case about a woman who claimed to be brainwashed by scientologists. We sat in on the case one day and it was interesting. She won a few million euro.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I heard most cases against the church were dismissed or thrown out. That's amazing she got compensated.

[aeonflux.livejournal.com]

Hubbard pretty much admitted on his deathbed that he created the religion as a tax shelter. So at least we know what god they're worshipping.

The only One True God...the same as the rest, no?

[izzybees]

Where are yooooou? It's NaNo-time!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

It is! Hope you are doing well with it... have started my new job this week, so I'm super tired at night, and I get no internet time during the day... apart from today! :)

Update coming soon. xoxox

evil white men

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Too much time on their hands, and too many copies of bad sci-fi.
