don't let a mod see it. it's a tad overweight.

nothing "tad" about it. That's way over the kb limit. Sorry TC.

 

[DjangoReinhardt]

I just watched that video, and I have absolutely no fucking clue what he was talking about.

At all.

I'm legitimately confused. Can anyone tell me what he was saying?

There's no "I" in "team." Always give 110%. It ain't over 'til it's over. Fuck that fuckin' fuck Xenu. It don't cost nothin' to hustle. Sleep is the cousin to death. It's 90% mental; the other half is physical.

I think that's the point of brainwashing. You want to use videos like this that have so many phrases for morons to latch onto [helping other people, being active, being a leader] that you repeat over and over and over, but you don't actually say anything at all.

Try reading the Wikipedia page for Scientology. Their whole "religion" is like that--except for the "alien warlord" part. I'd love to see the ceremony where they reveal that to you.

This makes Nicole Kidman's silence about their break up even creepier. What does she know? Is she in danger?

Is Katie Holmes insane as well? Does she need help?

[master15]

Yeah that was scary, watching it. Half of what he said went completely over my head, my sadly I got to admit there's something quite captivating watching Tom Cruise speak (Even if 99% of it is pure bollocks).

I'm a Cruise fan

 

[sasimirobot]

These videos are a must watch also. The overall creepiness and "bull-baiting" that the Scientology dudes use is just...sad...

they call the one woman a "whore", and infer that the picket guys have sex with sheep.

Where do I sign up?

 

[EGM92]

After I watched how fucking INSANE Cruise is I can't believe no one posted this. Just replace madison with Cruise and it makes perfect sense.:lol

This is seriously the best religion ever. Screw everything else, any religion that lets me get away with believing in Sci-fi stuff and warlords from other planets is the religion I want to follow.

By Invitation Only fools!

Damn, none of the links in this thread are working anymore. Scientologists are rather good at the internets, it seems.

They have a whole department, the "Office of Special Affairs" that constantly monitors every nook and cranny of the internet with C&D emails at the ready.

 

[TOM f'N CRUISE]

damn...they took it off already







edit: WTF..........nm

 

[polyh3dron]

Here's a link to the video that won't be taken down, or so says Gawker.

And I don't mince words with that lol

wow.

The part where you find out about Xenu costs $19,500.00 US dollars alone. I'm completely serious. And that's only level 3 of several, you have to pay more for each one. Plus every month you have to pay $500 for 15 minutes where they hook you up to an "e-meter" which is like an electronic mood ring made from 1950s technology. I think it costs over a half a million dollars to get to Tom Cruise's level.

 

[gray_fox224]

Still love ya Tom.

He just tried a few courses and that was it apparently.

 

[nelsonroyale]

sorry, but I think he is 100% taking the piss with this whole thing...I mean you can really see his acting, doesnt look sincere at all.

its hillarious by the way

 

[Powerslave]

Funniest shit I've seen on wikipedia:

 

[Creamium]

It's no surprise that all these actors become members but what I'll never understand is how they got a hold of a guy like Beck. I don't know what kind of person he is, but you just don't expect a guy who makes awesome music like that to be a part of that

 

[polyh3dron]

Beck didn't get "recruited" into Scientology, he was born into it.. his parents are Scientologists. One thing people in here don't quite understand about Scientology when discussing it like this is that not everyone is die hard like Tom Cruise. Some people just use the parts of it that they feel benefit their life and don't even bother going to the OT levels with Xenu and the Body Thetans. Now of course, they could use these same parts of Scientology just by reading some self help books and it would be much cheaper, but as a Scientologist you're a part of an "elite" group. They package it up nicely with a sales pitch reminiscient of the Steve Jobs Reality Distortion Field or a Peter Molyneux interview.

 

[Creamium]

so you can't escape membership if your father is one? I wouldn't be surprised if Beck's part of it in appearance only

 

[polyh3dron]

Well if you say anything critical of the church that makes you an SP. Scientologists in good standing are not permitted to associate with SPs or else they themselves are labeled SPs. If Beck were to criticise Scientology his Scientologist family and friends would all have to "disconnect" from him and never communicate with him again. If any of his Scientologist acquaintances stayed in touch with them that would make them PTS (potential trouble source) in the eyes of the church.

When Tom talks about running the PTS/SP auditing on someone, it's something like an E-Meter assisted interrogation where they try to find out if anyone you associate with is an SP.

PTS/SP=?

I think it's a Hollywood in-joke aimed at attacking religous fundamentalism that is making a comeback in American society.

on that note, he really didnt do a great job in the satire there...maybe he needed more of a script? Or, maybe they just wanted to make him seem crazed to get the idea across?

 

[Chipopo]

what's 'KSW'?

 

[polyh3dron]

PTS/SP=?

When an auditor does a PTS/SP rundown on a Scientologist, it's to find out if that Scientologist is associating with any SPs. If they are associating with any, they are instructed to cut off all ties from those SPs or else they will be branded as SPs themselves.

 

[heavy liquid]

what's 'KSW'?

http://www.xenu-directory.net/glossary/glossary_a.htm

SP = Suppressive Person, an evil person; someone who criticizes Scientology in any way. (the two are one and the same in the cult)

PTS = Potential Trouble Source. Someone who is in contact with an SP, a Suppressive or anti-Scientology person, and therefore may cause trouble for the cult.

KSW = Keeping Scientology Working. A series of HCOPLs, Hubbard Communication Office Policy Letters, designed to ensure Scientology lasts for hundreds of years, and also that Hubbard's fondest wish, that his name be smashed violently into the history books, becomes a reality.

This glossary is a good tool for demystifying the bullshit-speak that I'm sure is just a psychological trick to impress the weaker-minded.

 

[polyh3dron]

A Hubbard policy letter called "Keeping Scientology Working".

 

[polyh3dron]

It's a trick to make Scientologists feel like non-Scientologists are the weaker-minded since they don't know all of this language.

Video was part of a package as Tom Cruise appeared before the International Association of Scientologists to accept its "Freedom Medal of Valor."

"Damn, this bitch is KERRRRAZY"

 

[Ponn]

Probably already brought up but finally heard that Nicole Kidman was pregnant. I found this strange because for all these years I thought either Tom or Nicole was unable to reproduce being why they adopted. Then when Tom knocked up Katie I thought "oh, must be nicole that couldn't". Now i'm confused and suspicious.

Wow, this reminds me of the pic where Tom's face is photoshopped over Katie's... except this isn't altered at all. Creepy.

He's got such a creepy and fake laugh:
