Tom Cruise manically declares his devotion to Scientology

Featured Replies

It is the biggest hit in America - a video of Tom Cruise manically declaring his devotion to Scientology.

 

Cruise’s love for the sci-fi themed religion has already been the biggest controversy in his life, even more so since Andrew Morton’s bombshell book.

 

But now a video of Cruise describing his hard-core dedication for the religion has hit the internet - and become the biggest talking point in America.

 

In fact, it has already been given a movie title-style nickname: ‘Tom Cruise: Unhinged’.

 

“Now is the time!” Cruise excitedly says.

 

“Being a Scientologist. People are turning to you.

 

“If you are a Scientologist, you see things the way they are, in all their glory, in all their complexity.”

 

In the video, Cruise bizarrely claims Scientologosists are the only ones who can help when there are car crashes - as well as get people off drugs, rehabilitating criminals and being “the way to happiness”. “We can bring peace and unite cultures.”

 

The video hit the web and was called “The Cruise Indoctrination Video Scientology Tried To Suppress“.

 

And one media insider insisted: “If Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah’s couch was an 8 on the scale of scary, this is a 10.”

 

Throughout, Cruise flips from thoughtful seriousness to wild-eyed impassioned wonder. “It’s rough and tumble!” he exclaims.

 

“It’s wild and wooly! It’s a blast, it’s a blast. It really is. It is fun, because - damn it - there is nothing better than going out there and fighting the fight and suddenly you see - boom! - things are better!

 

“I want to know that I’ve done everything I can do, every day… I do what I can. And I do it the way I do everything.”

In one of the most bizarre sections, Cruise insists a Scientologist is “the only one who can really help” car crash victims, without explaining why.

 

“When you drive past an accident, it’s not like anyone else, because when you drive past you know you have to do something about it because you know you’re the only one who can really help,” he says.

 

“We are the authorities on getting people off drugs, we are the authorities on the mind, we are the authorities on improving conditions.

 

“We can rehabilitate criminals.

 

“The way to happiness - we can bring peace and unite cultures.”

 

At one point, the actor says: “It’s our responsibility to create the new reality.”

 

He confesses that he doesn’t even feel comfortable taking vacations - because he has a duty “to do something” with his higher knowledge.

 

Set to music reminiscent of the theme to his “Mission: Impossible” flicks, the video is loaded with Scientology buzzwords and appears to be intended for only longtime followers of the L. Ron Hubbard-created faith.

 

“So they said, ‘Have you met an SP?’ ” he says, breaking into a fit of hyena-like laughter as he discusses enemies of the church known as “suppressive persons.”

 

“I thought, ‘What a beautiful thing,’ because you know, maybe one day . . . Wow, SPs, you’ll just read about those in the history books, you know.”

 

As for those who only dabble in Scientology, Cruise reserves his greatest scorn. “That’s spectatorism,” he says, “and it’s something that we have no time for right now.”

 

Messages left with spokespeople for the church and Cruise were not returned yesterday.

Part of me wants to watch that for a laugh...

 

 

 

 

 

...the other part is too scared to. :uhoh:

 

How the mighty have fallen indeed.

So I scanned it. And now I'm not scared, I'm sad. Because his mind has gone missing, as though someone sucked it out with a straw.

 

Actually, it's very stepford wives-ish. Invasion of the cyborgs. :stunned:

Yeah, I saw this yesterday. Honestly, I thought it was kind of funny. Especially the whole part about stopping to help someone in a car accident because you're a scientologist and you're the only one that can help. =P He's completely gone.
