I've just been amused by the whole Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes spectacle. According to the few news sources I've read, Cruise's former manager always kept a tight reign on him regarding Scientology and it was completely off-limits for a reporter to ask any questions about it. Then he decided he wanted to talk more about it so he fired his manager and is now represented by his sister (also a Scientologist). But this looks like it has just blown up in his face and the "church" can't be that happy about all the negative press they're receiving now. Cruise looks like he's drunk the Kool-Aid and gone off the rails. Katie decided to covert after dating Tom for 6 weeks and there's a story today on how he tried to convert Scarlet Johansen a few months ago.
Anyway, that's what has Scientology back in the MSM. So what does everyone think? Cult or not? Looney Hollywood fringe or does it have and scientific merit? Any members here?
I've always thought they were pretty off and way too secretive for my tastes to be trusted. It seems like a big scam to make money and power (not that that necessarily distinguishes it from a lot of other religions).
