Very funny!
The Time magazine Scientology expose about 15 years ago was pretty scary. They use brainwashing techniques, have followers wear uniforms (which I saw in Hollywood) and use about any means possible to extract major amounts of cash from anyone. As of 10yrs ago or so, Cruise had given them over $9 million. Apparently at the highest level, they take you out on a boat and reveal the big secret: that L. Ron Hubbard is actually God.
On the other hand, Cruise and Travolta have done very well for themselves. It may be crazy medicine, but effective medicine.

I'm sure you recognize that scientology has nothing to do with their success in Hollywood--hence it ain't "effective medicine."
It is simply irrelevant to their successful Hollywood careers.

    At every stage of his career (producer, singer/songwriter, restauranteur, politician) he was told it was hopeless by nearly everyone, yet he always triumphed-I admired that about him.
"[They] have followers wear uniforms." Well so do Mormons! nt - clarkjohnsen 08:22:43 06/22/05 (0)
