    "We're the authorities on getting people off drugs. We're the authorities on the mind. We're the authorities on improving conditions," he says. "We can rehabilitate criminals. Way to happiness. We can bring peace and unite cultures."

    In the video, which could be seen on www.gawker.com, Cruise explained what made Scientologists different from others.

    "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 who can help," the Oscar-nominated actor said.
    How self absorbed can you be? This dude never ceases to amaze me.

    I'm beginning to wonder if the real Tom Cruise didn't die years ago and his handlers hired Ben Stiller to do his impression full time.

    Morton wrote that some Scientologists wondered if Cruise's wife, actress Katie Holmes, "had been impregnated with Hubbard's frozen sperm."

    Yeah I saw this yesterday on WWTDD.com....crazy video. Now I have no problem against anyone preaching or spouting religious rhetoric, but something is off with this "technology". , I'm sure it helps people, no doubt, why not.....but something is amiss.

    Has anyone else noticed that the only thing missing from his latest hairstyle is the little Hitler mustache to complete the look?

    Did you guys see Katie on Letterman the other night? I swear, she is a Stepford Wife if I ever saw one. Trying to act all proper and . She was never extraordinarily funny or interesting but at least there used to be a light in her eyes and she was more expressive before.

    I always liked Katie Holmes. I grew up with her on Dawson's Creek. She was awesome. She talked like a grown up, for Christ's sake! Now, she has a short haircut, an overly adorable robot child and a short husband - who's a Scientologist.

    When it was first announced that she was expecting, I wondered if she'd been artifically inseminated (not necessarily with Ron Hubbard's frozen sperm). He has been married to Mimi Rogers and Nicole Kidman, who he never had biological kids with, although they tried. Mimi Rogers had two kids with her next husband and Nicole is now pregnant with Keith Urbans child.

    Nicole got pregnant several times but had miscarriages. I don't believe the insemination stuff, there is nothing to prove its true, just people trying really hard to be extra mean. Like the dude doesn't have enough problems just being a Scientologist.

    Long article on the book-- the most telling part to me is how they get information on people that can be used to blackmail them. I have always thought that is what they do to control people.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/liv...n_page_id=1773

    The author says that Cruise was asked in 1999 to do a "Potential Trouble Source/Suppressive Person course...designed to anchor an individual's faith while pinpointing those in his life who create problems".

    Morton claims Scientologists were worried that Kidman might be a problem because her father was a psychologist - "which automatically made her a Potential Trouble Source" - and she had given an interview emphasising her roots as a Catholic.

    "The fear was that a lukewarm Nicole could fatally compromise Tom's commitment to his faith," Morton writes.

    "Somehow Tom had to be inoculated against the virus of doubt.

    "The surefire cure for scepticism was the Potential Trouble Source/ Suppressive Person course, which reinforced wavering Scientologists' loyalty while making them more su ious of those around them who were not members of the faith."

    When Cruise decided to leave Nicole in 2000, she was worried that she might not be able to see the two children the couple had adopted.

    Morton quotes a former highranking Scientologist claiming he received a call from Kidman's lawyer Bill Beslow: "At this point Nicole hated Scientology but was concerned for the kids.

    "She did not want to ruin her relationship with them. I told the lawyer if she wants to stay with the children she will have to be quiet and not speak out about Scientology."

    In particular, Morton claims she was worried about her "audit" tapes, which contained details of her sex life and which she feared might be leaked if she spoke out.

    Morton recounts allegations that "auditing" focuses on the subject's sex life.

    He quotes Hubbard's son, Ronald De Wolf, who fell out with his father, giving a Playboy interview: "You have complete control of someone if you have every detail of his sex life and fantasy life on record. In Scientology the focus is on sex. Sex, sex, sex.

    "The first thing we wanted to know about someone we were auditing was his sexual deviations. All you've got to do is find a person's kinks, whatever they might be.

    "Their dreams and their fantasies. Then you can fit a ring through their noses and take them anywhere. You promise to fulfil their fantasies or you threaten to expose them."

    Morton says Karen Pressley was at Gold Base one evening when John Travolta's sexuality was openly discussed.

    He writes: "'It made my head spin,' she recalls, 'and made me realise that the idea of confidentiality was a chimera.' As another Scientology executive admitted bluntly, 'These files come in handy if they want to blackmail you'."

    Just like every other religion. Seriously, how is Scientology different? It requires you to make a leap of faith and believing in what ever mystical bull they espouse makes you in the eyes of the non-believers, insane. Scientology=Catholocism=Islam=every other bull religion/cult.

    Except the Catholic Church doesn't try to blackmail you if you want to leave.
