Scientology is coming for the Illuminati's wig.

Whoops... The charges were dismissed even though the church tried to appeal it several times. Just reading about it is scary though. They were going to stop at NOTHING to bring Time Warner to the ground.

I saw this earlier. This is a time where I'd be glad to have paparazzi following me around day and night.

I'm scared for her she finally left Tom,who is obviously ****ing cray cray in head,and scientology is crazy ass ****.I can't believe so many celebs are into it.I have so much respect for her,for asking solo custody of Suri,for planning this divorce for months in silence,and because lord knows I would be scared of this scientology followers she has some guts
they're bat **** crazy,and good that Katie finally saw the light,and I hope she gets herself and her daughter out of this

[Guernica]

You can never actually get away from Scientology once you're in it. She can run but she can't hide. I feel bad for her and Suri, there's really nothing they can do. The only thing I could think of would be to move to Germany because they have outlawed Scientology completely. It's extreme but the only option tbh.

I just read few articles today,(the media is truly going crazy over this divorce),saying : Katie Holmes filed for divorce primarily over Tom Cruise's fierce ties to Scientology, fearing that Tom would drag Suri deep into the church

Katie Holmes was spurred on to file for divorce from Tom Cruise after becoming "sick" of the actor's controlling ways, a source tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.

source close to the Dawson's Creek star tells RadarOnline.com that as the excitement and glamour of dating one of the world's biggest superstars wore off Katie was left feeling more and more irritated by Tom and his desire to control their relationship, their daughter's upbringing and Katie's every move.

"When Katie first met Tom she was blown away by him," the source says. "She had idolized him as a child and then here she was, with him, in person. Tom turned on the mega-watt smile and the amazing charm that he is capable of exuding and Katie was totally caught up in it



"Tom has always made all the decisions in their relationship and called all the shots and initially Katie found it charming -- don't forget, she was pretty young when they met and compared to Tom she was hardly worldly," the source says. "Tom hated her being called Katie, and wanted her to insist on being called Kate, which she hated. He vetted all her movie roles, made all the decisions about where and when they would vacation, how Suri would be raised, when she spoke to her parents, where they went for dinner, everything!

This is creepy. I hope Katie is not on the news for the wrong reasons.

If anyone has an hour or two to kill, BBC's Panorama has done several entertaining exposés on this wicked cult.



They do everything in their power to intimidate and supress anyone who could potentially expose the church's secrets. With Katie being so high-profile, they can't really risk doing anything too drastic, but I'm certain they'll come up with a decent smear campaign, and they'll definitely be tracking her every move for years to come. At this very moment, I'm sure they have a team of people searching through every file from Katie's auditing sessions, looking for some unsavory secret or scandal they can leak to the press. It's a good thing Katie's so damn boring.

It's an idiotic "religion" based on poorly written science fiction and pseudo-science, and I like to have fun with the stupidity of it all. But Scientology isn't fun. Scientology ruins lives. They lure people in with this idea that Scientology is some sort of path to enlightenment, and for whatever reason, I think some people may derive some benefit from Scientology and the auditing sessions in the early stages. But they don't wait long before they start pressuring members to make a bigger commitments. They ask for money. Lots of money! Auditing sessions are expensive, because, um, well, nobody knows. They'll ask members to distance themselves from anyone who questions the church, or anyone who isn't a Scientologist. By the time one's wasted ten to hundreds of thousands of dollars and cut ties with family and friends, one has been sufficiently brainwashed and is ready to be taught/accept the ridiculous Xenu lore. (But, shhh! Once you know the story, you should pretend you don't know the story, because, um, it's too absurd to be told to anyone else, and we wouldn't want prospective members thinking this religion is rooted in a bunch of nonsense.) And then one might be asked to sign a billion year contract, committing to a lifetime (and subsequent lifetimes) of service to Scientology and the Sea Org. Basically, the goal is consensual servitude.

And part of me likes to think some good-hearted Scientologist celebrity would wise up to the evils of the cult, cut ties (maybe Katie can be that person) with the church and become an outspoken critic of Scientology. But it won't happen. Scientology has made the celebrity God. It's as much about catering to Tom Cruise's needs as it is about studying the teaching of L. Ron Hubbard. It's very rewarding to be famous and a Scientologist, the financial commitments mean nothing to a wealthy celebrity, and none of stars are working ridiculous hours in the Sea Org for (essentially) no pay. For people like Kirstie Alley and the Smiths, Scientology is just a bunch of auditing sessions and soul purification. How hippy. How cool. I'm surprised Britney wasn't sucked in at some point.

But I do think Tom Cruise knows the truth about Scientology. He's too involved not to know. He's too close with David Miscaivage to be oblivious. In fact, some have said Tommy's the de-facto second man in charge.

[Ghandi]

Well, this proves the scientologists aren't the smartest knives in the drawer. Can't avoid the paparazzi? Really? They're going to have a family photo album of vehicles and people following her by the time this over.

[Lyzz the Monster]

Poor girl, hope she stays safe.

Well said. And Kabbalah seems just as bad. John Travolta is another famous member of Scientology.

Kabbalah isn't a religion, and you don't have to work for them or pay anything. It's basically a theological study group, for people from any religion. It's roots are found in Judaism, but it doesn't encourage anyone to believe in anything if they don't want to. It's all about "sharing one God", "finding inner meaning" and "helping the fellow man". It's not a cult, and it's nothing like Scientology.

Kabbalah is not a reglion as such , more of a spirtual awearness into peace and the universe. The book "The secret" is based on the Kabbalah
