Hi Austin, thanks for the link. Funny thing, I actually was looking through a women's magazine today..and they had an article about the controversial unauthorised biography of Tom Cruise! Makes a good read, but then I also wonder.. is Tom Cruise replacing Michael Jackson's position of The American Weirdo Who's Also a Super Star?. Maybe media really need to pick on someone to keep us interested..

very interesting video. I dont know a whole lot about scientology myself, but am leery of some of the methods that I know about that they use. I do have to wonder how balanced of a picture of scientology are getting from the media though?

Thanks, Austin. My son had heard about this, then couldn't find it. I haven't watched it yet. On my computer it takes forever to load. :-)

Wow what an egomaniac. This sounds like the perfect religion for a control freak. I wonder if men got pregnant they would have silent birth - I think not.

Yikes!! Cruise is one scary and creepy dude! But I've thought that for a very long time now. Thanks for the link Austin.

Thanks Austin. I downloaded a copy of it in case the "Church" gets a take down order and it disappears. It's 26 Meg.

Thanks for the link, interesting topic, I delve into all religions so they are all basic to me, all have the same core values. Just some are louder than others.

Well, I think that he is nuts, but if I am ever in an accident and need to get mouth to mouth.....I hope he drives by:)

I am still listening to it, but had to move away from watching....I was having too many Top Gun fantasies!

It is sad to see a former idol go to the dark side....

Since I am not a fan of T. Cruise (saw him in an interview once and realized his idea of "himself" was bigger than anyone else's idea of him), I had to stop watching this about halfway through.

Going to go watch it. I feel soooo badly for poor brain washed Katie (having been married to a nutjob myself in my previous marriage) and little Suri.

This video is just the tip of the crazy iceberg. it is very scary to say that I wish more scientologists were as sane as him.
