I personally belief scientology is a pseudo-science and a pseudo-religion.  I think the Church of Scientology is a cruel dangerous cult that takes your money and your ability to reason enough to see so.  See the links to important information on the internet about scientology.\n\nTo find out about the beliefs of scientologists from a neutral site go here:\nhttp://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/scientology\nAnd more here:\nhttp://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/xenu\n\nThen go here to find out what this critic things of scientology.\nhttp://www.clambake.org/roland-intro.html\n\nTo quote south park creators:  "This is what scientologists really believe!" in this controversial episode of South Park:" http://www.xenutv.com/cruise/sp-closet.htm\n\nNow if they told you about Body Thetans, Implants & Xenu before you spend money 'getting rid of your problems' would you believe them?  This is where the Church of Scientology steps in and is a dangerous destructive cult and is no longer just a belief.  To Scientologists it may be their religion, I'm sorry my opinion offends, and hey if thats what they believe then thats fine with me, I don't have to believe it. \n\nHowever the Cult of $cientology is another matter.\n\n"The Church of Scientology is a vicious and dangerous cult that masquerades as a religion. Its purpose is to make money. It practices a variety of mind-control techniques on people lured into its midst to gain control over their money and their lives. Its aim is to take from them every penny that they have and can ever borrow and to also enslave them to further its wicked ends."\nhttp://www.clambake.org/roland-intro.html\n\nSee here for the whole site, it is very interesting but horrifying reading, there is a wealth of critical information on scientology.\nhttp://www.clambake.org  (Same as http://www.xenu.net )\n\nThe CofS has been investigated by governments and taken to court many times.  "Some European governments (including notably, Germany, Belgium, France, and Austria) do not consider the Church to be a bona fide religious organization, but instead a commercial enterprise and / or a cult." wikipedia.org/scientology\n\nHere are the court files:\nhttp://www.clambake.org/archive/CourtFiles/\n\nHere are some quotes from some judges:\nhttp://www.clambake.org/archive/judge_quotes.html\n\nCheck this site out, although warning it isn't pleasant http://www.lisamcpherson.org\n\nIf you like videos here is a good site: http://www.xenutv.com\n\nNow i've given you all those links it might only be fair to give you the official link too:\nhttp://www.scientology.org

I'll give you three reasons:\n\n#1 - He's a control freak.  If she's interviewed, he's not going to be able to control everything she says and that scares the hell out of him.\n#2 - Katie Holmes has been completely brain washed and is no longer able to think for herself.\n#3 - He doesn't allow anyone to talk to her who isn't part of the Church of Scientology.  (They might try to knock some sense into her.)

I'm confused ,as a Scientologist for the past 35 years, where this\nidea that medication or medical treatment is against our "beliefs", comes from.\nIsn't this Christian Scientists that have this practice or doctrine?\nThere is definitely nothing in Scientology. If you need medical treatment you go to a Dr. If you need surgery you go to hospital.\nIf the length and pain of labour is too long or too much for the mother she gets what help she  needs to get  through it.\nYou are right ,it would be confusing ,if it were actually the case.\nThe only thing that Tom Cruise spoke against was medicating a non medical problem, which Scientologist are against. Specifically in the area of Psychiatric drugs, which solve nothing, cure nothing, are very addictive, and create gruesome side effects including homicidal and suicidal impulses. But this is not medical science.It's a whole other practice.\n\nI hope this helps to clear up the confusion here.

I think Tom Cruise is more than weird..he is a self obsessed a**hole....He thinks he the the second coming of L Ron Hubbard....Katie should take the baby and run...don't think she knew what she was getting into....

I think that katie holmes is still young and impressionable and that tom cruise has taken adavantage of her. I think that if she had not been with tom cruise she would not have converted to scientology or had children this young.\nAngelina is fantastic for brad. She has made him a better person and freed him from the clutches of angelina jolie. Now he also has a child of his own (shilloh noevel) which never could have happened with jeniffer aniston. ALso Angelina has gotten brad involved in alot of charities where he is using his star power to better the world instead of just letting it go to waste.\nTo sum it up Katie is wrong for tom but brad and angelina are perfect together

They deny it according to this article\n\n"In a joint statement issued through their publicist, Cruise and Holmes said that the Life & Style cover story is full of "malicious fallacies." "Mr. Cruise and Ms. Holmes are still engaged and moving forward with their wedding plans, as well as planning for the arrival of their child," the statement read. "The couple is looking forward to a long and happy life together as a family."

Scientology is the belief that we are all aliens, and there's measured levels, blah blah blah.... it's all based upon a science fiction writer's beliefs. L. Ron Hubbard.

Scientologist here,\n\nThe fact that Scientology is not in the slightest bit intersted in the\n"media's" usual "let's stir up some scandle, controversy, alarm, rumour\netc. to sell our "product", should demonstrate that what you have "heard" may not be factual. I have no idea who your sources are for this idea about Scientology in the past with regard to negative press.\n\nThere have been some very momentous legal battles won in the past by Scientology, but they have been to preserve religious freedom, and none involved the press.\nThe press also does not print this kind of positive outcome, nor does it promote any other good works accomplished by Scientology.\nIt's what you don't read or find out in the press that actually counts.\nWe do not take it personally since they do this with many individuals and groups. Our viewpoint with regard to the media is that they always howl the loudest when we are expanding and doing the most good.\nSo in a way negative press is an index for us, re our impact and expansion, a compliment. And they are right, Scientology is growing very fast at the moment, considering it is a new religion, only 55 years old infact, we are expanding internationally more than at any other time in our very brief past.\nHaving been a Scientologist for the past 35 years and been through the various "attacks" that have been launched in the past by the media, which were a lot more vicious than the silly stuff that has been printed recently, for me this is a big yawn, actally it is even a bit amusing.\nAs to whether this affects Scientologists in general, Huh! \nWe all have a lot more certainty about what we are doing with and in Scientology to even give this our attention.\nWe are all very busy expanding right now, and have much more important things to give our attention to.\nIf you knew our aims and purpose you would know we still have a lot of work ahead of us.\nDespite "rumours" to the contrary we are very much here to stay!

Nope -- the latest rumor is that they're planning a Catholic wedding.  She just got her 11 year marriage to Tom Cruise annuled because he didn't live up to the church's specifications.  ANd she's still wearing the same large diamond she started wearing on her wedding finger in November. Check EOnline or any other news entertainment source for the full dish...

Scientologists now includes Cruise, Kidman, Priscilla Presley, Lisa Marie Presley, Anne Archer, Juliette Lewis, Kelly Preston, John Travolta, Mimi Rogers, Karen Black, and Kirstie Alley. There are dozens of lesser-known Scientologists in show biz as well: Lee Purcell (big Wednesday), Jeff Pomerantz (General Hospital), Geoffrey Lewis (Juliette's dad, who was in Every Which Way but Loose, among other movies), Judy Norton-Taylor (The Waltons), Nancy Cartwright (the voice of Bart Simpson), child TV actor Vonni Ribisi (My Two Dads), Michael Wiserman (Predator 2), Kimberly Kates (Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure), Michael D. Roberts (Rain Man), and Gary Imhoff (the forth-coming Thumbeliina). Then there are the behind-the-scenes talents: Dick Tracy screenwriter Floyd Mutrux; composer Mark Isham (A River Runs Through It); actor and acting teacher Manu Tupou (Hawaii); and director Dror Soref (The Seventh Coin), who cut his teeth on Scientology films and now has a deal with Paramount. Scientology even claims one of Hollywood's most successful acting teacher, Milton Ketselas, who heads the Beverly Hills Playhouse. People who have drifted trough Scientology include Jerry Seinfeld, Patrick Swayze, Top Gun producer Don Simpson, Harvey Heber (brother of CAA cofounder Bill Heber), actor Brad Pitt, and Ernest Lehman, screenwriter of The Sound of Music.\n\nAnne Archer\n \nBeck Hansen \n \nBilly Sheehan\n \nCarina Ricco \n \nCarl W.

Yep, Scientologist here,\n(It seems that "Liam" whoever he is, has anticipated me, I must have started to annoy him somehow.)\n\nHere is a very brief outline. I hope it answers your question. Let me know.\n\nScientology is an applied religious philosophy. When I say "applied" I mean you actually use it in your life to change or improve existing conditions. This is different from a religious practice. All religions if you learn about them have a basic philosphy, but they also have certain dogma, rituals and observances, and a certain faith or belief is required. There is nothing wrong with this, but Scientology is not that kind of religion. It does not intrude on anyones faiths of beliefs particularly in the area of God , the Supreme Being, or the Infinite. This area is left totally up to the indivdual, which is why you can be a practicing Jew or Atheist,for example and still use and apply the priniciples of Scientology in your life. It does not conflict. If anything it will enhance your understanding of your chosen religious practice.\nAnd it is only true for you according to your own observation and experience with it.\nIt is a non denominational religion . The dictionary definition that applies:\nReligion: The spiritual or emotional attitude of one who recognises the existence of superhuman power or powers.\n\nThe most basic principle of Scientology is that YOU are your own immortal soul, that this is not a "thing" you HAVE but what YOU actually are.\nThe whole purpose of Scientology is to increase an individual's understanding and awareness of himself. And thereby his native abilities .\nWhen you do this the sphere and zone of his positive influence increases and moves outward into his life, his family ,his friends, his groups and mankind which he is part of.\n\nHow this result is achieved is the "technology" of Scientology, which was developed by L.Ron Hubbard after his extensive research and the discoveries he made, about the human spirit. The basic religious philosophy and knowledge of Scientology is very old, going back 10,000 years at least to the Veda or Vedic Hymns from the East. The  developement of the technology is new.\nHe completed his research before his death in 1986 and left all of his results and copyrights\nto the Church of Scientology along with most of his considerable estate., when he died.\n\nHe published a book in 1951 to communicate the basic principles he discovered called: " Scientology The Fundementals of Thought"\nThere are currently over 8 million Scientologists in more that 150 countries world wide. However we are a new religion, only 55 years old. \nThe true story of Scientology as a religion goes like this:\n1. A philosopher developes a philosophy about life and death.\n2. People find it interesting.\n3. People find it works.\n4. People pass it along to others.\n5. It grows.

According to what I understand about Scientology (not an immense amount, but enough to have an opinion - ;-)), the Scientologist does not believe that we are ultimately material beings, therefore, anything that is happening to us physically is not really happening, it is an illusion.  So, ANY form of disorder or illness would be an illusion, not just post-partum depression.  The argument, I think, should not be whether or not suffering is an illusion - it doesn't matter, because it certainly FEELS real and because of that alone, should be dealt with.  If there are medications to help us change our "perception" of reality so that it helps us or others, it should be considered as all a part of the "scientological" process (whatever it REALLY is).  If Katie Holmes gets hit by a truck (God forbid), Tom's view of reality will most certainly be affected, whether it is real or not. It would be enlightening to see what Scientologists as outspoken as Mr. Cruise would do in such an earth-shattering situation - would he hold to his beliefs or not??

Tom Cruise! He's a ..LOSER...\nThinks his fame makes him an expert on everything. Him and his "Scientology crap", what a joke.\nI can imagine that being married to him would be a living nightmare. He would do what he wants with who he wants and justify it with that bullcrap Scientology feel good stuff.\nI have little good to say about the phony,,,well come to think of it,,,,I have nothing good to say. So I had better stop.\nTom Cruise! Please!
