This was in the local paper today, in the gossip section of all things:
Research into the Church of Scientology has revealed that some of Hollywood’s most powerful stars may have signed documents giving up their right to psychiatric care (a major concession in Hollywood) and to see relatives. Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Kirstie Alley, Juliette Lewis and Lisa Marie Presley are among the celebrities who could have signed contracts banning the privileges as they moved up the church’s hierarchy, the Web site Page Six reports. Documents relating to the bans have been uncovered by David Touretzky, a research professor at Carnegie Mellon University who has been studying the religion for six years. One such document specifies that advanced training can happen only after members "forever (give) up (the) right to sue the church and its staff for any injury or damage suffered in any way connected with Scientology." "It seems that Scientologist superstars like Tom Cruise, John Travolta and wealthy patrons such as Lisa Marie Presley may be signing away rights most citizens within free countries take for granted," religious-cult expert Rick Ross writes on his Web site.
At least we did not sign a contract stating what we would not give up. These poor saps are actually signing away their right to sue!!
David Touretzky, has a website, which has a pages devoted to this:
