Tom talks frankly for the first time about why Scientology is "the ****, man"

An interesting read. Comments?

I liked this part:



On the surface, Cruise seems to be at a turning point in his life and career. Romantically, he is alone, having divorced Nicole Kidman after ten years and broken up with Penelope Cruz after three. And he recently left his longtime -- and notoriously overprotective -- publicist, Pat Kingsley, preferring representation by his family.


What kind of turning point is that? Good or bad?

Oh! Here is a great website. I'm sure Cruise would point the finger at this guy and yell: "**** You, Too!"

At least gives another perspective. (Maybe a little more based in reality.)

The last time it happened I listened to the guy's lecture and when he was through I said, Wow, that's really interesting. But you know, I never knew that L Ron Hubbard is really a woman. He just stared at me for a few seconds and said, "He is?" Sucker. Scientology scares me.


Funny!

I haven't seen or heard from a Scientologist since I was in college. The last joke I heard about them was that you needed to be pretty wealthy to join their "religion".

Founded by a science fiction writer. Very interesting....
