Tell them you are going to begin practicing Scientology and that your new found religion doesn't allow you to have contact with any human other than Tom Cruise...

What? He seems perfectly normal === aside from talking all goofy about scientology, jumping up and down on Oprah's sofa, jumping up and down on Yahoo's chair, wigging out on various shows, being sprayed in the face at celebrity events, and just being a flat out goof ball.\n\n\nOH, and I PROMISE never to spend another dollar on any Tom Cruise film, merchandise, or anything that he is involved in -- EVER AGAIN!

no I don't.  It seems like Katie is becoming a real-life Stepford wife.  Tom is too controlling, Katie is seemingly uninvolved with the whole thing.  I give it 4 yrs max.\n\nEver seen the movie "Casino" ?\nnote (in the storyline) the actor (played by Robert De Niro) had his soon to be bride GET PREGNANT before they got married, as like an insurance policy?  \n\nThere is something just not right about Tom and Katie.  She seems just too....quiet about the whole thing.  They do NOT look like a couple "In Love"

Katie & Tom, what a bore! After the crap with Brooke Shields and Scientology junk, Tom Cruise is simply a jerk.  Sorry, but come on, do what you want but keep your opinions of religion to yourself, that's personal.  And he has never given birth, so shut up about that too!

I got married in the Catholic church and I don't believe in any of their bull.  Since you're an atheist I wouldn't worry about it.  Just get married in the church it will keep peace in the family and you won't have to listen to his mom complain about it for the next 30 years and trust me, if she's like my MIL, she will.  I've been married 13 years and she's still complaining about the lack of limos, like anyone cares.  Did your fiance go to catholic school?  If he did you might need to get married in the church just so he feels married.  That's why we got married in the church, residual guilt from the 12 years of programming.\n\nAlternatively you and your hunny could do the outdoor thing by yourselves and then do the church thing after.  Don't even tell anyone about the outdoor thing, that way you both get what you want and hey, you can wear the gown twice.  Good luck.\n\nYou could also have your outdoor ceremony on your honeymoon.  I think it would be nice to have your own ceremony with just the two of you and officiant  before or after the church thing.

Is Scientology posing a real threat to Christian America or summink?  This is the third or fourth paranoid question about that organisation in a week!\n\nIf they're crackpots let them carry on cracking pots. \n\nYou can ask a similar question about Christian (blind) faith.  How on earth does a Jewish guy being murdered by the Romans on a cross save humanity either then or now - especially as Hebrew scripture forbids (1) human sacrifice and (2) the deification of a human sacrifice?\n\nSome Christians find the real answer to that question and carry on believing in their faith. This is because faith is often the replacement or removal of rational reasoning, facts, evidence, and logic.\n\nWhy is Scientology being held up to higher standards than other blind faiths?

Tom Cruise is a very small, insecure person, who is starting to realize he is too old for his "boyish" charm and smile to carry him through life anymore...  He should have stayed in seminary to be a priest (instead of becomeing a "what-the-f-ologist"), and everything that came up (in his life), is speedily coming way way down...  Imagine him in 10-20 years.\n\nI feel very sorry for the kid, and ms. Holms

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 hope people aren't "in love" with them.  I know I can't stand to watch Tom Cruise anymore in interviews, movies, etc.  I hope MI:III and all his future movies tank so that we can stop hearing so much about him.  (I just think Katie Holmes has been brainwashed by her own irrational childhood crush and one day she'll realize what a load of crap this "romance" of theirs is.)

Tom Cruise is the most famous member of the cult of Scientology.  And it IS a cult.  Despite what a few fanatical members may say, it IS a cult. The church harasses & bullies anyone who they deem an "enemy" (basically anyone who has anything negative to say about the "church"). They will RUIN YOUR LIFE if you speak out against them long enough.\n\nThe founder is L. Ron Hubbard, the science FICTION writer who once told a friend that the best way to make lots of money is to start your own religion. Though being a very outspoken critic of psychiatric drugs, it was discovered upon Hubbards death that the anti-anxiety drug hydroxyzine (Vistaril) was present in his body, which several of his assistants would later attest was only one of many psychiatric & pain medications Hubbard ingested over the years.\n\nScientologists believe the evil alien ruler Xenu killed a lot of aliens (Thetans) from around the universe by bringing them to earth & blowing them up inside volcanoes. They believe the souls of these aliens (these souls are "Body Thetans") have attached themselves to us & cause many of our mental & physical ills. Even members of the Church of Scientology who know of Xenu will publicly deny the existence of Xenu & Body Thetans, or attempt to minimize their importance. Scientology has many graduated levels through which one can progress. Many who remain at lower levels in the church are unaware of much of the these doctrines, which mostly begin at Operating Thetan level three, or "OT III". Because the information imparted to members is to be kept secret from others who have not attained that level, the member must publicly deny its existence when asked. OT III recipients must sign a waiver promising never to reveal its secrets before they are given the manila envelope containing the Xenu knowledge.\n\nTo rid ourselves of "Body Thetans" & also “engrams” (past negative experiences stored in our unconscious mind) so that we can become “clear”, we have to go through "auditing" with a member of the “church” who uses an "e-meter" to measure our “reactive mind”...... & we have to pay lots & lots of money for “auditing” (purchased in 12.5-hour blocks, costing anywhere from $750 for introductory sessions to between $8,000 & $9,000 for advanced sessions) & to take courses on Scientology to advance to higher “levels” in the “church”. The “church” has also taken a very hostile stance towards psychiatry & psychiatric drugs irrespective of the fact that some people require medication to remain adequately functional in everyday life. They deny the reality of chemical imbalance & profound mental disturbance & accordingly do NOTHING to effectively stabilize the dangerously unstable. The “church” has been known to withhold prescription pharmaceuticals from member (with deadly results).\n\nScientology is undeniably a cult. For more information on what a cult is & what their damaging effects are, please visit the link provided at the bottom of the sources. Just know that Scientology DOES qualify by meeting these 5 criteria:\n\n(1) It uses psychological coercion to recruit, indoctrinate & retain its members. (2) It forms an elitist totalitarian society. (3) Its founder leader is self-appointed, dogmatic, messianic, not accountable & has charisma. (4) It believes 'the end justifies the means' in order to solicit funds & recruit people. (5) Its wealth does not benefit its members or society.

Sure, an old friend whom I've actually known since elementary school did just that. They've been together for the better part of 30 years! I think they waited until they were out of college though before actually tying the knot though. Anyway, now they're happily married with (at last count) three kids. I think a lot of what ties them together is that they are both very devout practitioners of their religion (Roman Catholic).

I go to a church in Hollywood..there are several actors that attend service there on a regular basis.  NO not all actors are into Scientology...only the nuts like Tom Cruise and Travolta to name a few.  I'm also in the tv/film business and know of many actors that attend Catholic, Non-Denomination, Lutheran, Presbyterian...etc.\n\nThey're just people like you and I.  Some of them are strange and it's definitely gone to their heads, but in my experience the majority of them are good, sane people.

Tom Cruise has a Napoleon complex. To make up for his insecurities he throws in with a straight up CULT and uses its "status" to further his delusional rants. Anyone see Katie lately? Looks awful glass eyed and non responsive for a happy healthy mom to be.
