Question

i was wondering if nicole kidman was still a scientologist now she has managed to rid herself of tom cruise, if her children are and if not did she only do it for him, and is his new wife only doing it for him.

no katie and tom have postponed their wedding she wants to loose weight apparantly

i dont know why i put it under religion, what would you put it under

Answer 1

"Kidman, 34, is disenchanted with the controversial religion and wants their two children raised as Catholics."

"But no amount of counseling could resolve the fact that Kidman did not want the couple's adopted children, Isabella, 8, and Connor, 6, to be raised as Scientologists. According to MSNBC's Jeanette Walls, Nicole had indicated to friends that she was not as dedicated to Scientology as her husband and that raising the children in Scientology had become 'a major
issue.'"

(about 1/2 way down)

From The Evening Standard on February 7th:
"Kidman became a Scientologist soon after the couple's marriage. But friends believe her different approach to the church is also a factor in the break-up. 'Tom has always been far more into Scientology than Nicole,' said Naomi Watts, an actress friend of Kidman's. 'He is somewhat of a fanatic, Nicole never wanted to go down that road.'"

From the Australian News Network on February 11th:

"The sole reason Nicole Kidman left Tom Cruise was because his devotion to the controversial Church of Scientology suddenly deepened in the past two months, The Sunday Telegraph can reveal. Kidman feared the growing hold her husband's religion had on their family. A close family friend from Los Angeles said yesterday Kidman had fought against the strong influence of the LA-based church throughout her 10-year marriage.

"'Nicole had been pursuing him for some years to get away from the church, and his passion had cooled,' the friend said. 'She had some success, but for some reason -- and she doesn't really know why -- he has become really deeply involved in the past two months. 'She couldn't bear it because she was worried about the children. But in the end, he had to choose between her and the church, and she lost.'"

She is no longer with the Cult of Scientology...

Answer 2

Nicole Kidman is not and never was a Scientologist. Where did you get this idea from? As far as I know she was and is Roman Catholic. While married to Tom Cruise they each practiced
their different religions without any conflicting religious issues.They each were tolerant and respected eachother's religions.
Religion was not the reason for the marriage breakup.
Here is why:

Scientology 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,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.
You can have no specific religious beliefs and still benefit from using it.
And it is only true for you according to your own observation and experience with it.
It is a non denominational religion . The dictionary definition that applies:
Religion: The spiritual or emotional attitude of one who recognises the existence of superhuman power or powers.

The 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.
The whole purpose of Scientology is to increase an individual's understanding and awareness of himself. And thereby his native abilities .
When 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.

How 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.
He completed his research before his death in 1986 and left all of his results and copyrights
to the Church of Scientology along with most of his considerable estate., when he died.

He published a book in 1951 to communicate the basic principles he discovered called: " Scientology The Fundementals of Thought"
There are currently over 8 million Scientologists in more that 150 countries world wide. However we are a new religion, only 53 years old.
The true story of Scientology as a religion goes like this:
1. A philosopher developes a philosophy about life and death.
2. People find it interesting.
3. People find it works.
4. People pass it along to others.
5. It grows.

Their children's choice of religion would be their choice, and again since they are both responsible parents they would not let this religious choice be a cause of conflict between them, or a problem for their children.
As for Katie Holmes, knowing Scientology (which I do) it would have to be her self determined choice to be a Scientologist, since the right to self determinism is the most important principle of Scientology and is respected and encouraged
more than anything else .

Answer 3

She REFUSED to accept Scientology. She was born and raised Catholic, and has stayed that way, apparently... So, looks like only Katie is there for psycho Tom...

Answer 4

began by applying L. Ron Hubbard as 'self help attitude' called Dianetics (he began out writing SiFi books and then wrote self help books) ...it right into a grew to become "faith".....many human beings (Christians, atheist, agnostics, former individuals, ect) say that's the suited 'text textile-e book' occasion of a non-violent Cult (concept some individuals have mentioned actual and emotional abuse) the person-friendly theory is: for the time of your and previous lives you have had detrimental reviews which you will not be able to remember, those repressed reviews 'carry you back'.... by using particular counseling called "Dianetics" (presented by applying the CoS. for a nominal fee) you are able to 'technique/manage' those undesirable reviews....as quickly as there all dealt with, you are able to go beyond to a "intense basic of life" ....the top....

Answer 5

Scientology is really, really dodgy

I have had people playing really scary mind games with me to get me to join up and I wouldn't touch them with a barge-pole.

Answer 6

I don't think she ever was with that scientology stuff. You never noticed tom went crazy until after their divorce and started going crazy over scientology. I guess she supressed it and was like ' listen b*tch, i aint gonna have none a your sh*t' and then she divorced him cause he was crazy

Answer 7

is this about Scientology or Nichole Kidman?

Answer 8

She was never a scientologist - that's why they broke up - she's a Catholic.

Answer 9

knowing how crazy tom cruise is i wouldnt doubt she only did it so he wouldn't kill her

Answer 10

don't ask questions about Scientology. They're listening and watching. they will get you.
