What celebrities are Scientologists?

Question

Is this some trendy thing to be in Hollywood these days? I don't get it.

Chris C. Scientology has NOT existed for over 100 years and Tom Cruise has not been a convert for 40 years. Get the facts straight.

Plus whoever wrote Nicole Kidman is a Scientologist if wrong. She is Catholic and Tom Cruise divorced her because she would NOT convert to Scientology science fiction made up nonsense.

Answer 1

Scientology is a body of teachings and related techniques developed by American science fiction author L. Ron Hubbard. Hubbard began Scientology in 1952 as a self-help philosophy, an outgrowth of his earlier self-help system, Dianetics, and later described it as a new "religion."

The Church of Scientology has consistently sought to recruit artists and entertainers, particularly Hollywood celebrities. The Church runs special recruitment facilities for public figures designated Celebrity Centres.

Publicity has been generated by Scientologists in the entertainment industry. Among the most well-known of these figures are the converts John Travolta, Kirstie Alley, Beck, Jason Lee (actor), Isaac Hayes, Tom Cruise, and Cruise's wife Katie Holmes.

Critics say the attention and care given to celebrity practitioners is vastly different from that of noncelebrity practitioners. Andre Tabayoyon, a former Scientologist and Sea Org staffer, testified in a 1994 affidavit that money from not-for-profit Scientology organizations and labor from those organizations (including the Rehabilitation Project Force) had gone to provide special facilities for Scientology celebrities, which were not available to other Scientologists!!!

“A Sea Org staffer ... was taken along to do personal cooking for Tom Cruise and [David] Miscavige at the expense of Scientology not for profit religious organizations. This left only 3 cooks at [Gold Base] to cook for 800 people three times a day ... apartment cottages were built for the use of John Travolta, Kirstie Alley, Edgar Winter, Priscilla Presley and other Scientology celebrities who are carefully prevented from finding out the real truth about the Scientology organization ... Miscavige decided to redo the meadow in beautiful flowers; Tens of thousands of dollars were spent on the project so that Cruise and then wife [Nicole] Kidman could romp there. However, Miscavige inspected the project and didn't like it. So the whole meadow was plowed up, destroyed, replowed and sown with plain grass."

Tabayoyon's account of the planting of the meadow was supported by another former Scientologist, Maureen Bolstad, who said that a couple of dozen Scientologists including herself were put to work on a rainy night through dawn on the project. "We were told that we needed to plant a field and that it was to help Tom impress Nicole ... but for some mysterious reason it wasn't considered acceptable by Mr. Miscavige. So the project was rejected and they redid it."

Diana Canova, who experienced Scientology both before and during her period of TV stardom, expressed it in a September 1993 interview: "When I started, I wasn't in television yet. I was a nobody - I'd done some TV, but I was not one of the elite, not by a long shot - until I did Soap. Then it became…I mean, you really are treated like royalty."

Of the many new religious movements to appear during the 20th century, Scientology has, from its inception, been one of the most controversial. The Church has come into conflict with the governments and police forces of several countries (including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany) numerous times over the years, though supporters note that many major world religions have found themselves in conflict with civil government in their early years.

Germany officially recognizes Scientology as a commercial enterprise, and Belgium, France, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Luxembourg, Mexico, Spain and the United Kingdom, remain UNCONVINCED that Scientology is a religion.

The rest of the world should take note. Scientology is a cult and not a religion. Don't be scammed.

I would list all the names but there are quite a lot and many have already said them.. Tom etc etc.
The thing is nobody realises that Scientology has existed for about 100 yrs and even more. John Travolta has been a follower of Scientology for over 40 years.. he said so on Jonathon Ross the other night. Only since Tom Cruise joined it seemed like it was a "trend" but many people follow it and have done for many years before Tom came on board. x
