A blogger salutes Tom Cruise's recent "tedious pimping for Scientology"

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

"Tom doesn't have an ironic bone in his body," said Roger van Eccles, who has deprogrammed dozens of former Scientologists. "He's been sending a series of carefully orchestrated signals back to the Mothership for the last several weeks, and people need to know what those signals mean."

Thanks to Cruise' tedious pimping for Scientology—he even demanded a "Scientology tent" on the set of the Steven Spielberg film "War of the Worlds"—many people are aware that the Scientology cult was founded in 1954 by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, who claimed to have visited Venus, the planet. Scientologists like Cruise, Beck, Kirstie Alley, Greta van Susteren, John Travolta, Jenna Elfman, and Priscilla Presley believe all human beings are Thetans, the descendants of two creatures from another galaxy who were left on Earth by the Mothership millions of years ago.

Thetans are doomed to endure successive lives on Earth until they have donated a sufficient amount of money to Scientology. They are born with Original Dysfunction, a state of confusion and longing for drugs, inherited from the two original Thetans, Mork and Mindy, who refused to donate any of their fruit to the First Universal Cooperative. Therefore, all Thetans are possessed of Engrams, physical and emotional scars acquired in previous lives. Only by rigorous monitoring and cleansing—which can be purchased by cash, money order, or credit card other than American Express—can Thetans hope to become clear, i.e., free of Engrams and fabulously wealthy. Once Thetans have become fabulously wealth, they can afford to buy their way onto the Mothership and eternal bliss.



According to van Eccles, Cruise' leaping onto the couch on "Oprah" was his way of signaling that he was ready to leave this planet (the floor) and go home to the Mothership (the couch). The number of times Cruised jumped up and down on the couch signal led the amount, in millions, that he was willing to pay to book passage. "Dropping to one knee signified Tom's allegiance to Scientology," said van Eccles, "while the muscle-boy pose signaled his attainment of a clear state, free of the influence of Engrams."

8. I have to say...

after his shitty comments about Brooke Sheilds' use of meds to stop her suicidal ideation, a terribly vindictive part of me hopes that ol' Tommy has the kind of mental meltdown that puts him in psych lock-down having to face a therapist.

Anything to wake his sorry ass up about the seriousness of mental health problems.
