Why is Tom Cruise a dork?

Question

Whats the deal with scientology? So many wierd rules. Tom
Cruise wouldn't even let whats her face make any noise during labor cause it's against some dumb rule? What kind of crap is that? Labor's gotta hurt. I cried one time when I tripped and landed on a tree root. It hurt like crazy. If any scientologist came to try and shut me up, I'd of loved to stab them in the ear with an apple flavored jolly rancher, which also sucks.

Answer 1

Because he calls people jerks rather than kicking their asss. He jumps on couches on a womens talk show. If it was sportscenter, that would be cool, but not on Oprah.

Answer 2

You are absolutely right labour definitely hurts. Having had 2 kids myself I can only say that if men had to go through it instead of women the population growth would cease.
But I am also a Scientologist (for the past 35 years) and there are no rules weird or otherwise in Scientology.
What you are questioning here is the media's version of a preventative technique, that assists both mother and baby during a very intense and painful experience. Keeping the environment calm and quiet as possible during birth prevents physical and mental problems for both in the future. The reasons for this are fully explained in the book Dianetics . The chapter is called "Preventative Dianetics".
Hospital births are relatively new . Most home births and midwives apply similar methods actually.
The media's purpose is to make Scientology look "weird" or ridiculous using an international celebrity like Tom Cruise.
Obviously he's not really a dork. Dorks don't actually become that successful in real life.
Anyway he was a Scientologist long before he became a celebrity so why all the media attention to it now? It's old news.
He was introduced to it by his first wife Mimi Rogers over 20 years ago.
You don't get these facts from the media. Actually you rarely get any facts from the media.

As to what Scientology is about, here is a factual description of it for you:

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 personal 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.

Tom specializes in the art of being a moron, thinking that people are dying to hear all about him. Like, who cares? The Church of Scientology is around the corner from where I live. All day long, their members stand on the street giving out leaflets, wanting people to come in for a "personality" test. And all for what? To come out being like Tom? No thank you very much, my dearies !!

Answer 6

The guy who started this scientology crap wrote science fiction novels. What kind of a weak *** mind follows that?

Answer 7

They wouldn't make you shut up, they would make you reenact the fall repeatedly until the pain subsided.. It's part of the dianetics tripe that they believe is like gospel.

Answer 8

Most likely he left his Christian faith....needed something spiritual to fill up the gap and so he turned to Scientology's nonsense because it offers "self-help."

Answer 9

Yes, I think Tom is just a pretty face with cool movies, but as far as his beliefs, he's weirdooo and hearing too much of it lately, is just turning people off....I think :P

Answer 10

I get the feeling this is more of a rant than a question.

Everything thinks Tomcat is crazy/nuts/bananas. You are not alone.
