(3) are both the same

Answer 1

It began in 2005, when Cruise became suddenly vocal about his beliefs in the principles of Scientology, the religion created by science fiction author L. Ron Hubbard. He publicly denounced actress Brooke Shields for taking medication in order to combat her postpartum depression, citing anti-depressants and the psychological sciences as immoral and unnecessary, going so far as to call it a "Nazi science" in an Entertainment Weekly interview. On June 24, 2005, he was interviewed by Matt Lauer for The Today Show during which time he appeared to be distractingly excitable and argumentative in his insistence that psychiatry is a "pseudo-science," and in a Der Spiegel interview, he was quoted as saying that Scientology has the only successful drug rehabilitation program in the world.

This behavior caused a stirring of public opinion about Cruise, as did his relationship with 27 year old actress Katie Holmes. The two announced their engagement in the spring of 2005, and Cruise's enthusiasm for his new romantic interest created more curiosity about his mental stability. He appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show on May 23 where, according to a New York Times description, he jumped up and down on the couch during his interview, professing his love for Holmes. He also ecstatically shook Winfrey's hands and at one point fell dramatically to one knee. The actor's newly outspoken attitude about Scientology linked intimately to the buzz surrounding his new relationship, as Holmes converted to the faith despite a lifelong adherence to Catholicism. The media was flooded with a rumor that the young actress had a "lost" period around this time, when for two weeks she was unreachable to her parents, friends, and extended family. Many suspected that Cruise's strange public behavior was nothing more than a failed publicity stunt to raise interest in War of the Worlds, a general attitude that continued through October 2005, when he and Holmes announced that she was pregnant.

Some audiences found Cruise's ultra-enthusiastic behavior refreshing but for the most part, the actor's new public image hurt his fan base, as he alienated many of his viewers. As he geared up for the spring 2006 release of Mission: Impossible III, his ability to sell a film based almost purely on his own likability was in question for the first time in 20 years. Despite a cast that boasted such names as Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jonathan Rhys Meyers, curiosity about the film's success seemed to hinge solely on Cruise's controversial personal life. The movie ended up performing essentially as expected, despite lining up almost conspicuously with the birth of he and Holmes' daughter Suri in spring of 2006.

The media frenzy that followed her pregnancy and birth were no less involved. There were whispers of dangerous or inadvisable methods of childcare and feeding, rumors that the Scientology endorsed method for birthing demands complete silence from everyone--including the mother--and questions about what kind of access to medical care and pain medicine Holmes would have in accordance with the practices of Scientology. Holmes said little publicly of her new relationship, religion or role as a mother, but Cruise insisted in interviews that the process of the "silent birth" demands others in the room be quiet but not the mother.

Even after the child was born, controversy surrounded the name that the couple chose for her, as Cruise's public statement claimed the name Suri was chosen because it means "princess" in Hebrew and "red rose" in Persian, while experts on both languages insisted that this was not accurate. Scholars and speakers of the languages in question said that in Persian (conventionally known as Farsi) the word denotes the color red but has no connection what so ever to roses, while in Hebrew, the closest connection it bears to its claimed origin is that the Jews of Eastern Europe use it as a nickname for the name Sarah, and that in ancient Hebrew Sarah is the feminine form of the word Lord. After the birth, the couple finally set their date wedding, planning to hold the event in early July.

Answer 2

2 scientology which is probably closer to the truth.
He believes that we are the project of aliens.
We were brought here by beings from another planet.
Technically we are. God was not on this earth when he made it.
He fixed it up for man and then they put a male and a female on the earth. Then they sit back and watch and hope we learn from our mistakes. As we go down through time we are getting away from the perfect bodies they made. Which lived a 1000 years.
We are now down to less than 100. 1/10 of what we started with.
racked with disease and infirmities. That one day they will give up the experiment and take to there planet the survivors and fix them up. Kind of like Christians who believe they are going to heaven in a new spirit body. Nat

Answer 3

Scientology, I believe. Scientology has developed a method of
"clearing" ones mind of negative memories, which cause mental blocks, and an inability to function normally.
Like someone calling us stupid, will trigger one of these
memories/mental blocks, causing our mind to shut down and we
get frustrated, or passive, and get run over.
Scientology itself warns that people undergoing treatment might fall in love with their therapist.
I don't know Mr Cruise, and I'm not judging him personally.
The Scriptures say however, that if you cast an evil spirit out of a man, it will return with 7 spirits more wicked than himself. And finding the man empty. Will make the state of the man worse
than before.
My point being, if a person is emptied of negativity, and doesn't put anything positive there to replace it. He might become even more full of false-pride, self-righteousness toward others, etc, etc, and make him opinionated and simple.
Most Christian Scientists, like most Scientologists, don't believe in material medicine. And I have heard of cases where they denied someone a doctors help, and the individual died.
Personally, I know we are made up of body, mind, and spirit.
And good health lies in maintaining all three of those levels.
None of mans religions are complete in and of themselves. But all have thier strengths and weaknesses. Just like we do.

A cult, people like him have all the money.
They are bored and looking for something different.
He seems blessed doesn't he?
This is his payment.
This is all he gets. The here and now.
They fall away and go their way. OLAY, OLAY!

You are right to group Christian science with Scientology, they are both cults.

There are many cults out there.
It is like going into the Forest.
There are many predators there.
Therefore, you had better go armed.
Take a sword with you.

Eph 6:17 And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

OLAY!

Answer 7

Scientology. Those are 2 different religions. As for his reason, who knows. Why did he jump and down on Oprah's couch? Who knows. Whatever ... his statement have been really odd the past couple of years, and now Paramount has dumped him. I wonder what spiritual significance he finds in that.

Scientology.

Answer 9

Scientology
It's the belief in something being true due to observing it as oppose to believing in something due to faith.
Supposedly works by personally applying it's principles,
then observing or experiencing the results.

Answer 10

He's a scientologist. Which equals wacko in my book, but then again I feel the same about all the other religions too.
