I just read some of Tom Cruises' comments on his belief CS and I found them disturbing.
Not just his point of view, but it appears that his beliefs are Black or White... no gray areas, every thought was so definite, almost final.
Sounded a lot like the JW beliefs in that they are the only people who has it right and everyone else is wrong.
Does anyone know any thing about Christian Scientolgy and are they similar in their beliefs to the Dubs?
I'm no expert, but isn't it "Church of Scientology" (not Christian Scientology)?????
AFAIK, there is nothing in the Christian tradition in Scientology, in any way, shape, or form.
Yeah, there are many similairities in Cult Thinking between most of the cults. That is why they are cults; it isn't about what they believe, but rather about HOW THEY CONTROL their members.
I have been seriously thinking about pretending to be slipping into Scientology when talking to my Mom, with the hopes of forcing her to (A) see her own JW cult illogic reflected back to her with a crazy Scientology spin and (B) Forcing her to learn more about anti-cult techniques.

One of my closest and dearest friends was a Scientology. I got an earful eight hours a day at work nonstop for years.
I became a kind of "expert" due to his constant stream of consciousness palaver.
I visited the Scientology "Celebrity Center" in downtown Hollywood and went to the lecture they give there. I talked to many Scientologists and observed them, read about the "religion" and had a real total immersion experience.

Terry,
You kidding right?

Personally, I think he has a real problem with women. But this really makes the Scientology cult look very unreasonable. To react so viciously over a relatively trivial thing, makes you wonder how awful things must be for the followers of scientology.

Tom Cruise Criticizes Brooke ShieldsBy Cindy Locke
May 25, 2005, 17:21 GMT
Actor Tom Cruise doesn’t approve of Brooke Shields’s method to get through postpartum depression after giving birth to her first child, daughter Rowan.
In Shields’s new book, Down Came the Rain, she admits to taking medication to cope with the depression.
Cruise had a small role in Shields’s movie Endless Love 24 years ago. In an interview with TV show Access Hollywood, Cruise said, “I care about Brooke Shields because I think she is an incredibly talented women, but look at where has her career gone.”
Cruise’s religion, Scientology, does not approve of mind-altering medication of any kind. “When someone says medication has helped them, it is to cope, it didn't cure anything. There is no science. There is nothing that can cure them whatsoever.”
Cruise went on to say that women should "take vitamins and exercise" and that Shields was "irresponsible" for promoting anti-depressants.
Cruise also talked about Shields’s career: “Look, is she happy? Is she really happy?”
Terry,You kidding right?

No way.
It is bona fide.
Imagine how wacky Jehovah sounds to most people and you'll have an epiphany.

My first thought is that inner circle wackiness looks like notes for a book. LOL
