Cruising
I wrote early on, back in April, asking why serious people don't just laugh in Tom Cruise's face when he talks about Scientology. In this case, Cruise set up a tent on the set of "War of the Worlds" to help introduce people to Scientology:
Note: In 1990 Cruise renounced his devout Catholic beliefs (Cruise attended a Franciscan seminary before becoming an actor) and embraced The Church Of Scientology claiming that Scientology teachings had cured him of the dyslexia that had plagued him all of his life.
Perhaps what sets Catholicism apart is that, unlike Scientology, the Catholic Church lets her members go... it's that Free Will thing. And here.
Update: And read about Scientology versus the story of Simon Magus.
The world contains three types of people:
- SUPPRESSIVE PERSONS (SP). SP's are the treacherous and evil types who are determined to wreak havoc wherever they can. They destroy everything that is good, and support everything that is evil. They cannot be helped and have a terrible effect on others around them, often making their associates feel inferior. Anyone who opposes scientology is considered an SP.
- POTENTIAL TROUBLE SOURCES (PTS). People who are closely associated with SP's can be made to feel worthless and are often ill. However there is an even more noticeable side-effect of this relationship, the PTS person can take on the attributes of the SP and can cause considerable trouble for others (mainly Scientology).
- AVERAGE PERSON (Not a Scientology term). Those who do not fall into the above two categories. Which is 80% of the population. The disparaging term for those who are not scientologists is Wogs. These people are considered to be not trying
