In Reply to: Little doubt as to why Cruise's ex wanted their kid out of there . . . * posted by Billy Wonka on April 6, 2015 at 14:36:13:
We were talking about this at Easter dinner yesterday with my siblings, nieces and nephews...one of my sisters read, that Katie Holmes HAD to leave Cruise before Suri turned 5. At age 5 the Scientology "training" begins and they get "shared" custody of the child...Katie said, not my kid and not on my watch...
The early interviews with Travolta are VERY telling...his success started with his joining Scientology...they basically took credit for all the good things happening to him...he guzzled that Kool-Aid...(yes, that is a pun)
Paul Haggis was genuinely embarrassed about his involvement. He has 2 gay daughters and was told he would have to "disconnect", (disown), them...Scientology does not like homosexuals, bad for business...
The other major component of this tale is the $MONEY$...they are relentless on pursuing you to keep giving more and more and more...they are over a billion dollar entity, paying NO taxes...
For lack of a better term, this is a religious Ponzi scheme...they never really reveal what it is all about, until you pay enough money in, climb their ladder of levels, (there are 8 levels and it takes years to achieve depending how much $$$ you have donated), and you have done enough auditing, (confession), that they have so much dirt on you...you cannot leave, fear of exposure and blackmail...keeping things cryptic, with a slow reveal of their beliefs and tenants, is actually quite brilliant in a twisted mind control kind of way...Hubbard built this thing in layers for his own plausible deniability...which Scientology has wrapped itself in...
Thanks
