Well, this about seals it for me. Tom Mapother is legitimately insane. He’s moved all the way up to second in command of the most retarded cult ever. Good job tommy boy.
Tom Cruise ‘Scientology second-in-command’
Tom Cruise has become the de-facto second-in-command of the Church of Scientology and is consulted on every aspect of the controversial group’s planning and policy, according to a new book by the royal biographer Andrew Morton.
The writer paints a disturbing picture of the extent to the Hollywood star’s life has been taken over by Scientology.
Morton claims that Cruise, 45, has long tailored his career and even his choice of romantic partners to furthering the organisation’s ends.
In return, the “church”, founded by the science fiction writer L Ron Hubbard, has come to rely so heavily on Cruise that he is now considered second in importance to its leader, David Miscavige.
Morton - who has written biographies of Diana, Princess of Wales, and the Beckhams - says that Mr Miscavige is so close to Cruise that he even joined him on his honeymoon in the Maldives after his marriage to Katie Holmes in 2006.
Just to highlight this poin (and hopefully piss off some of the nut case Scientologists, there’s about 55,000 Scientologists.. total, that’s pretty pathetic given how long Scientology’s been around.
Scientology was also started on a bet. Someone bet its founder that he could not start a religion.
Actually, I believe it was between two science fiction authors; who could create a religion based around their books, and which would last the longest? The other dude, upon seeing how easily people were controlled, gave up, and pleaded with Hubbard to stop. But he wouldn’t. He was power hungry.
Actually, I think Hubbard started it on his own whim. I think he said something along the lines of ‘If you want to make real money, you should start a religion’.
If scientology is so good for Cruise, why are his films so crap? Mission Implausible IV (yawn….)?
