We all know Tom Cruise is crazy. We know this because we know Scientology is a load of crazy, and since Tom Cruise is the #1 advocate for Scientology… well, you get it; put the two together. For those of you who do not realize just how ridiculous and far-fetched Scientology is, here’s a little blurb about it:
Scientology is a body of teachings and related techniques developed by American science fiction author L. Ron Hubbard. It began in 1952 as a self-help philosophy, an outgrowth of his earlier self-help system, Dianetics, and was later described as a new religion… The Church of Scientology says that Scientology is concerned with “the study and handling of the spirit in relationship to itself, others and all of life.” By contrast, Dianetics is more narrowly focused on getting rid of the reactive mind, the “bank” of traumatic memories known as engrams which are said to inhibit one’s success and happiness. Scientology also covers topics such as ethics and morality (The Way to Happiness), drug and chemical residues as they relate to spiritual wellbeing (the Purification Rundown), communication, marriage, raising children, work-related problems, education (Study Technology), and the very nature of life (The Dynamics). Scientologists believe:
- The thetan has lived through many past lives and will continue to live beyond the death of the body.
- Psychiatry and psychology are evil and abusive practices.
Xenu (sometimes Xemu) is introduced as an alien ruler of the “Galactic Confederacy” who, 75 million years ago, brought billions of people to Earth in spacecraft resembling Douglas DC-8 airliners, stacked them around volcanoes and blew them up with hydrogen bombs. Their souls then clustered together and stuck to the bodies of the living. The alien souls continue to do this today, causing a variety of physical ill-effects in modern-day humans. Hubbard called these clustered spirits “Body Thetans,” and the advanced levels place considerable emphasis on isolating them and neutralizing their ill effects.Scientologists have argued that the published accounts of the Xenu story and other colourful teachings are distortions of their practice, presented out of context for the purpose of ridiculing their religion. Journalists and critics of Scientology counter that the Xenu episode is part of a much wider Scientology belief that past lives on other planets are a source of negative influences on the mind and spirit in the present. Some of this has been public knowledge for decades. For instance, Hubbard’s 1958 book Have You Lived Before This Life contains descriptions of past lives given by individual Scientologists during auditing sessions, including some that are reported to predate what modern astronomy estimates as the age of the universe. Internal Scientology publications are often illustrated with pictures of spaceships and oblique references to catastrophic events that happened “75 million years ago” (i.e., the Xenu incident).

Now that you realize how crazy it is to believe in an alien named Xenu as one of your “leaders” then I shall continue with the breaking story of how crazy Tom Cruise actually is.
Us Weekly says that Katie Holmes has spent hours in tears on the phone with her BFF Victoria Beckham because Tom is making her life miserable. Sources say:
“Katie has been crying over the phone. She’s frustrated. Tom is denying her every single thing. Once, Katie and Victoria talked on the phone for four hours.”
On top of this, Tom Cruise is allegedly calling Posh Spice and trying to creep her out so much that she converts to be an alien lover Scientologist.
“Victoria is sick and tired of Tom being on her back about Scientology. Victoria is an old-fashioned British woman who believes in God. She finds it quite rude that Tom is bugging her so much. Not too long ago, Tom left 18 messages in one hour to get them to join the church. When she says no, she means no.” (Source)
I’m not knocking Us Weekly, cause I love it and read it every week or whatever, but I’m just curious to know how legit this story is. Because I’m definitely not picturing Victoria Beckham as an “old-fashioned” anything. That fug is anything but old-fashioned.
What do you think about Scientology? You think Tom Cruise is nuts?
