Tom Cruise is cracked
I just watched The Cruise Indoctrination Video Scientology Tried To Suppress on Gawker. I can’t decide if I feel sorry for this little man or jealous that somebody so rich and powerful can seem so crazy.
If you watch the video you’ll wonder what Tom is blathering on about? Nick Denton sums it up best when he says, “if Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah’s couch was an 8 on the scale of scary, this is a 10.”
If Scientology is so great and makes such a difference in the world then why is it so secretive? Why would Scientology remove this video from so many websites and prevent people from seeing it (other than the fact that it makes Tom look nuts)?
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Scientology is a cult as many have suggested. Weird stuff.
UPDATE: Derober has an abridged version of the Cruise video called Scientology Defined. Subtitles explain some of the terms and concepts that Cruise refers to.
The Un-Funny TRUTH about Scientology is another video making the rounds that looks at the slimy side of the church.

I have read L. Ron Hubbard - Messiah or Madman and let me tell you, the whole thing is loony toon. I don’t think Hubbard was either of the titular designations, but he was certainly the god of snake oil salesmen/misanthropic charlatans. Although it is cryptohistorical, the purported bet between Hubbard and Arthur Clarke that a world wide religion could be manufactured in a lifetime rings true to me. The most overt example of cultishness is that, allegedly, scientotologist teams were dispatched to ground zero and new orleans to indoctrinate shell shocked disaster victims when their resistance to influence would be lowest. Pure slime.
