Exclusive
The Cruise Indoctrination Video Scientology Tried To Suppress

You have to watch this video. It shows Tom Cruise, with all the wide-eyed fervor that he brings to the promotion of a movie, making the argument for Scientology, the bizarre 20th-century religion. Making the argument is an understatement. The Hollywood actor, star of movies such as Mission Impossible, is a complete fanatic. "When you're a Scientologist, and you drive by an accident, you know you have to do something about it, because you know you're the only one who can really help... We are the way to happiness. We can bring peace and unite cultures." There's much much more. Let me put it this way: if Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah's couch was an 8 on the scale of scary, this is a 10.

This video's been passed around privately by reporters and writers investigating Cruise's ties with Scientology. Most reporters have been wary of taking on the Scientologists, because they have a history of both litigation, and the harassment of critics. The publication of Andrew Morton's biography of Tom Cruise, which claims he is the second most powerful person in the cult, has seems to have opened the floodgates. Several indoctrination videos were available on Google Video, on Sunday, and showcased on Gawker, before being removed by the person who had originally posted them. Yesterday, for a few hours, the clip of Tom Cruise discussing his beliefs as a Scientologist appeared on Youtube, and was republished by Radar and Defamer. That video is no longer available, most likely after the Church of Scientology sent in a copyright infringement notice. Gawker is now hosting a copy of the video; it's newsworthy; and we will not be removing it.

Top Gun is the worst movie of all time.
It's not even a contest.

Yeah, that was a little bit of fucked up alright.

tom cruise can move things with his mind

do enough of drugs in the 80s/90s...this shit happens

Did he just call criminal rehabilitation "criminon?"

what the fuck is tom cruise going to do at a car accident?


But he can convert me over straight up to scientology if he goes and records himself curing britney, as long as that cure doesn't involve suicide or her death in any way. (lobotomies included)

What in the great F is an "SP?"

Wow, that music loop playing through the video is fucking annoying.

Oh and yeah, Tom Cruise is fucked in the head also.

These two hurt:



I love these guys in Malcolm in the Middle and That 70's Show :/

and this one doesn't surprise me at all:



in fact, I used to go out with a guy who joined the East coast version of Est. A group called Life Spring.
When he first joined it scared the crap out of me ( I was maybe 21 at the time) because it was such a cult- I called up his older sister and her husband and pleaded with them to do a 'life spring intervention" for him.

We did too! hah, it was really just about the most contrived bullshit I can think of looking back on it, except for Scientology maybe.

Rob Thomas

You beat me to it. It's both hilarious and completely unsurprising that a douche like him would be a Scientologist.

As for the ones that "hurt" me:



And PAUL HAGGIS?! He worked on the screenplay ("polishing" it) for Casino Royale and is doing the same for Bond 22. That just taints it for me, now.

And this one just hurts my wang:

I was ready to give them all my money if they'd just stop it. That must be their strategy.

You were disappointed in Kirstie Alley? Really?
