Has Tom Cruise Ever Tried to Give Sanity a Bad Name?

tomcruise_011808_fresh.jpg
INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE Cruise
How did Tom Cruise transform himself from struggling young actor to Scientology god? With help from the Church of Scientology's "SEC WHOLE TRACK" questionnaire, that's how. The internal church document was developed by Scientology founder and onetime science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard for use during "auditing" sessions—you know, the ones designed to identify your trapped "thetans."

The "thetans," or alien ghosts, were implanted in Earth's volcanoes 75 million years ago by the evil intergalactic ruler Xenu, until the nasty buggers escaped and invaded the bodies of each and every one of us. New recruits like Katie Holmes, or "preclears," answer the questions while hooked up to an E-meter—a crude, polygraph-like contraption—as a Church-sanctioned auditor records the subject's responses for further expensive inquiry. Radar excerpted the best of the list's 343 questions. Here's a verbatim sampling.

• Have you ever enslaved a population?

• Have you ever debased a nation's currency?

• Have you ever killed the wrong person?

• Have you ever torn out someone's tongue?

• Have you ever been a professional critic?

• Have you ever wiped out a family?

• Have you ever tried to give sanity a bad name?

• Have you ever consistently practiced sex in some unnatural fashion?

• Have you ever made a planet, or nation, radioactive?

• Have you ever made love to a dead body?

• Have you ever engaged in piracy?

• Have you ever been a pimp?

• Have you ever eaten a human body?

• Have you ever disfigured a beautiful thing?

• Have you ever exterminated a species?

• Have you ever been a professional executioner?

• Have you given robots a bad name?

• Have you ever set a booby trap?

• Have you ever failed to rescue your leader?

• Have you driven anyone insane?

• Have you ever killed the wrong person?

• Is anybody looking for you?

• Have you ever set a poor example?

• Did you come to Earth for evil purposes?

• Are you in hiding?

• Have you systematically set up mysteries?

• Have you ever made a practice of confusing people?

• Have you ever philosophized when you should have acted instead?

• Have you ever gone crazy?

• Have you ever sought to persuade someone of your insanity?

• Have you ever deserted, or betrayed, a great leader?

• Have you ever smothered a baby?

• Do you deserve to have any friends?

• Have you ever castrated anyone?

• Do you deserve to be enslaved?

• Is there any question on this list I had better not ask you again?

• Have you ever tried to make the physical universe less real?

• Have you ever zapped anyone?

• Have you ever had a body with a venereal disease? If so, did you spread it?

Comments

So after you profess your inner most secrets (i.e. having had sex with a dead body) the church then lords your guilt over you.

Does anyone REALLY wonder how people end up brainwashed by these folks?

OR...maybe this is, secretly, the list of things people eventually have accomplish before they can reach those high levels.

Tom is currently on the "sought to persuade someone of your insanity" phase...

I remember when Tom was here in Spokane when he was married to Nicole Kidman, I guess they had a nice house in Idaho and apparently he was trying to buy some beer after two AM, and thats a no-no for the rest of us, but Tom thought he was privileged and even though the clerk knew who he was, she wouldn't sell him any beer, and I guess Tom made an ass out of himself . He became enraged and threw a tantrum before leaving the store. I saw the footage of him being a creep and it was him. And he was being a dick. The store manager thought he was gonna sell this footage to a magazine and later I found out that the tape was worth nothing because nobody gave a shit. lolol

Tom is so caught up with this man made religion that he actually thinks he's better than the people outside of his faith. Like he said..."You're either on board or you're not on board" Fuck you Tom Cruise and the horse you're trying to ride in on. He is definitely the strangest cat on this earth, or one of the top ten.

I quit God about ten years ago and my life is actually better because I now think for myself instead of worshiping a fish. I know the difference between right and wrong, and I take full responsibility for my actions. I don't believe that you can victimize another human being and just tell God you're sorry and everything is cool. You do not get off the hook that easy. Nobody does.

As far as Tom's religion is concerned I think it's just another attempt to control people. These guys are so affraid that people like me are going to be the cause of everything bad, when in all reality, it's the fanatics that talk like him that are really the true problem.

Why do we have to have a place to worship? Why do we have to worship period? I don't think it's healthy to follow others, especially if it's a person like that idiot Tom. Don't let anybody tell you you can't do it alone. If you cave on that notion, then they have you. And then you're fucked. And then you have all that time to waist on trying to save people that don't really need saving. lolol

I'm not really an atheist, but I just want to be more realistic about things. If there is a God of some sorts, he's definitely laughing at these guys. He's probably laughing at me too. lolol.........New Crib

This would be great as a Mastercard commercial...

Enslaving a population...$35

Killing the wrong person...$100

Tearing out a tongue...$15

Getting "clear" by a bunch of phonies who've taken their love of science fiction way to far...priceless.

But...
But...
But, I've never done ANY of those things! I must be a loser!
Or a human :-)

I once had a supervisor who, in his younger days (he was sixty-two at the time I knew him) had actually worked with Elron. He told Me that when "Dianetics" changed from a philosophy (It must been a doozy!) to a religion, he left Elron behind.

Of course, "Dianetics" became "Scientology" (Sounds lots fancier, don't it?), and Elron published far more books after he died than he had before he died.

Gotta love it!!

Sincerely,
Master

So, when are these guys gonna get together and pass out the Kool-Aid?

I had an ant farm once.
Does that count as "enslaving a population?"
I also participate in World Talk Like A Pirate Day, arrrr!

I got hold of Scientology's 10 page staff application, which they also give to people responding to their bogus "help wanted" ads. There were a lot of questions the state would consider illegal, like "have you ever had psychiatric brain surgery?"
But my favorite question was #10:
Have you ever committed felonies for which you weren't caught?

LOL. That ought to raise a big old red flag right there! "What are your crimes? Tell us, you can trust us!"

Remember, this is what Hubbard said about trust:
"We will never betray your trust AS LONG AS YOU ARE ONE OF US.

Get it?
