#1 narcissisctic personality disorder on display straight out of the DSM. With a hint of megalomania.

Remember kids: Uncle Ron Hubtard said Thetans stick to bad kids, and Xenu is out to get you! And you know its true because Hollywood stars like Travolta and Cruise say it is!

#3 The leak must be intentional. Scientology has a long history of immediately suing anyone who posts their stuff. No lawsuit = this is an ad sponsored by "church."

#4 Uncle Ron Hubtard said Thetans stick to bad kids

I thought he said napalm sticks to kids. Or am I confusing El Ron with somebody else?

#5 Cruise is not playing with a full deck. The guy's a screwball with a lot of money. Scientology is a religion? Since when?

#6 Naplam, Thetans, bah! All the same thing to a master Scientologist overlord that has ~~self delusions about having~~ a superior intellect.

#8 Years ago a friend of mine summed up Scientology and similar 'cults' of which there have been quite a number over the years,

"They turn insecure, unaware morons into secure, unaware morons."

#9 In fact I think he said "Self-assured unaware morons."

#10 Thanks for the Manson link. Duly noted that: Manson took over 150 hours of Scientology courses, rejected it as too crazy, and then went on to murder a whole bunch of people.

#11 "Blessed are the cheesemakers? What the hell does that mean?"

#12 Want to make easy money? The Scientawfuls buy up "e-meters" that ex-cultists peddle on E-Bay, so if you have one you can name your price. They don't want the public to know that these are basically detectors of galvanic skin reactions to verbal questioning. It would be unfair to compare that product to the devises used by Polygraphers, because the Hubbard-gizmos are primitive, worthy of testing frogs.

As for Cruise, his last movie - "Lions for Lambs" - was one of the biggest flops of 2007. He is on the way to has-been status.

#13 I lost a buddy in college to these scam artists/nuts. They are no better than the Krishnas, who, at least don't steal EVERYTHING from you. Damning with faint praise
