Us Weekly had a spy or something at a huge Scientology rally that went down last Friday in London and there report is about as freaky as you'd expect:
Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and daughter Suri reunited with John Travolta and wife Kelly Preston -- plus over 4000 other Scientologists -- at a massive party in England on Oct. 16, Usmagazine.com has confirmed.After the rally, Cruise and a group of his fellow Scientologists assembled in the local town square where they burned hundreds of books that didn't correspond with Scientology ideology. Oh wait, that was the Nazis in 1933. My bad. I always get those two groups confused.
The stars were surprise guests at the 25th anniversary of the International Association of Scientologists held at Saint Hill Manor in East Grinsted, West Sussex. During nearly two hours of speeches, Cruise, 47, briefly addressed the rapturous, fist-pumping crowd: "Because we never took our eyes off the ultimate prize, we stand where we are today," he intoned, witnesses tells Us. "We are in this together!"
When a choir took to the stage, the Cruise-Holmes family stood up with the rest of the audience. "Tom was swaying and looked like he was in heaven," an attendee tells Us. "He was really, really into it. Katie was next to him doing her best to look as enthusiastic. She was clapping along with the song, but was totally out of sync. Suri was standing by, looking a little bemused in a cute little party dress."
Later, during a reception, Cruise was overheard chatting with another American man about the protesters outside the venue. "They're squirrels," Cruise said angrily, according to a witness. "Stuck in an electronic incident. It makes me so angry!"Boy if I had a nickel for every time I've been stuck in an electronic incident . . .
Scientology is no different than Catholicism
Fully agree. Oh Tom you silly, silly man why can't you embrace a government approved cult that embraces believable scenarios like virgins having kids and dead people rising, boats that can carry upwards of 6 million animals all cared for by one family, an invisible parent figure spanking you from the sky. And then you could also follow very important rules like "not to boil a baby goat in it's mother's milk of face damnation". Your spaceship/volcano/xenu beliefs are simply absurd when compared to the sound, reality based structure of the jesus cult. P.S. an end to ALL religions in our time is possible if we all work together to stop the brainwashing. Cheers fellow non sheep.
Except Catholicism doesn't call for you to hire private investigators to follow, spy on, and dig up dirt on 'perceived 'enemies', force you to disconnect from your family, keep a recorded record of your 'overts and withholds' (i.e. confessions) and threaten to make them public if you don't toe the line. (That last part could get a priest excommunicated from the faith.)
Catholicism doesn't encourage it's members to lie to their families, friends or even perfect strangers about what their religion's about. it doesn't make you remortgage your house to pay for courses to 'get up the bridge'. It doesn't endorse things like framing people for bomb threats Google Paulette Cooper) or telling anyone who is low on the Tone Scale should be disposed of 'quietly and without sorrow'.
Scientology is not a religion. It never was. It's a pyramid/golf brick scheme that obtained religious status that under highly questionable circumstances and receives benefits NO OTHER religion gets.
This statement demonstrates how utterly ignorant you are on Scientology.
It's nothing like Catholicism.
And it's worse than you can imagine.
Bzzzt you are wrong. In a letter from Vicky Dunstan of scientology australia, to the australian television show Today Tonight she states the following:
"The fact is that the scientology religion includes a belief in past lives extending back through endless time."
Catholicism catechism 1013 states quite clearly:
"There is no reincarnation after death."
All those times you've seen and will see scientology spokespersons stating you can be a catholic and a scientologist at the same time well they are flat out lying.
"They're squirrels," Cruise said angrily, according to a witness. "Stuck in an electronic incident. It makes me so angry!"
In English,
squirrels
The act of using Scientology techniques in a form different than originally described by Hubbard is referred to within Scientology as "squirreling", and is said by Scientologists to be a "high crime" - A "squirrel" is a derogatory term for anyone who perverts Scientology text or doctrine.
electronic incident
An "electronic incident" may refer to some form of brain washing implemented in a past life, likely by a psychiatrist and or alien.
To sum it up...
"They're haters," Cruise said angrily, according to a witness. "They are brain washed and will not accept the truth. It makes me so angry!"
Bad Religion
Are you sure this wasn't located in a part of san francisco where bondage acts occur on parade?
It looks like he's wearing specially made shoes with lifts in them. *Shudder*
Better to be a squirrel than a clam man : )
