Scientology Information and People Involved

This is a little research I have been looking up lately because I still think Tom Cruise is a good actor, but I have found a bunch of odd things about his beliefs in Scientology. Here are a few exerpts and the links you can go to to find out a lot more about this Religion/Cult and just more knowledge for the person who just wasn't aware of what these people do.

The Cruise Indoctrination Video Scientology Tried To Suppress
You have to watch this video. It shows Tom Cruise, with all the wide-eyed fervor that he brings to the promotion of a movie, making the argument for Scientology, the bizarre 20th-century religion. Making the argument is an understatement. The Hollywood actor, star of movies such as Mission Impossible, is a complete fanatic. "When you're a Scientologist, and you drive by an accident, you know you have to do something about it, because you know you're the only one who can really help... We are the way to happiness. We can bring peace and unite cultures." There's much much more. Let me put it this way: if Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah's couch was an 8 on the scale of scary, this is a 14.

This is a Scientology film called Tom Cruise: Scientologist, where Tom Cruise directs his trademark brand of crazy-eyed, oversincere, babbling enthusiasm at Scientology itself for the benefit of other Scientologists around the world. And, by crap, we'll be buggered if it doesn't make any sense at all.

This video's been passed around privately by reporters and writers investigating Cruise's ties with Scientology. Most reporters have been wary of taking on the Scientologists, because they have a history of both litigation, and the harassment of critics. The publication of Andrew Morton's biography of Tom Cruise, which claims he is the second most powerful person in the cult, has seems to have opened the floodgates. Several indoctrination videos were available on Google Video, on Sunday, and showcased on Gawker, before being removed by the person who had originally posted them. Yesterday, for a few hours, the clip of Tom Cruise discussing his beliefs as a Scientologist appeared on Youtube, and was republished by Radar and Defamer. That video is no longer available, most likely after the Church of Scientology sent in a copyright infringement notice. Gawker is now hosting a copy of the video; it's newsworthy; and we will not be removing it.
