Tom Cruise is crazy as hell... [Archive] - Werewolf.com Discussion Boards

This man makes me ashamed to admit The Last Samurai is one of my fave movies.

Me too. :(

Is anyone else reminded of that scene in whichever Scary Movie it was where they made fun of Cruise's display of insanity on Oprah? That has become the first thing to come to mind whenever I think of him.

PS - the video isn't at that link any more. Can someone find a new one?

Kaden

The videos are being sniped down as fast as they go up. Just another part of Scientology's wicked scary legal department and anti slander program. These guys can't take critism for anything.

Oh and that would be scary movie 4.

Tom Cruise not funny crazy like Britney... but scary crazy.

Amen to the comment of Cruise being a looney tune! I have nothing against scientology. Did a little reading into it and decided it wasn't for me. I believe in freedom of religion. What I don't believe is anyone proclaming their's to be - THE ONE TRUE FAITH.

Different strokes for different folks I say.

I like Cruise's acting but I think he should keep his religious ideals to himself or at least tune it down a few levels. John Travolta is a Scientoligist and you don't see him picking on Brook Shields :D

At what point does a religion become a cult?

Also, want to scare yourself? Take a look at Wikipedia's list of Scientologist celebrities (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Scientologis ts). I lost so much respect for so many people.

I guess a cult is when the group or group leader acts like a control freak. When he/she cuts members off from family and friends. And of course when one or a small group controls all the money.
Not claiming to be an expert or anything. It's kinda like a bad marriage where one is abusive and another is being taken advantage of.

I believe in freedom of religion as well, but I am going to say this once and try to make it as clear as possible: SCIENTOLOGY IS NOT A FUCKING RELIGION!!

This particular cult was started by a failed science fiction writer (this should already be evidence enough) who needed a way to get money. If Tom Cruise and those other saps are too stupid to realize the blatant drivel they endorse, they deserve to be called freaks and be robbed of their money.

It's common sense, or the lack thereof. Those nutters believe that some intergalactic warlord massacred a bunch of aliens by throwing them into a volcano and now their spirits make us feel bad inside. Thankfully, L. Ron Hubbard has the answer! Just send your life savings to this address...

I also loved his random laughs of insanity throughout the interview. I wonder if the interviewer was huddled in the corner shaking during it.

Now, I don't mind Scientology because they are very optimistic and believe people are good and everything (though some of their stuff does go a little "over the edge" IMO), but of course they have nut jobs and one of their main nut jobs is one of the best known actors ever.

Correct. It isn't a religion. It's more of a philosophy. You can still be whatever religion you choose and a member of Scientology though it does seem a bit contrary to Christian belief.

I am not defending them mind you. I can also see where they may be considered cult. and the wole Thetan/evil overlord theory is a tad bizarre. I do like their antiwar doctrine though.

It is a bit odd that a 'non prescription drug' church would give them to a suffering woman though.

A tad? I guess some people will believe anything. I heard about another cult that believes that 'heaven' is on a mothership located conveniently out of site and they must commit ritual suicide to get there. I forget what it's called, though.

The antiwar doctrine is good, although you'll find that most religions have one and a load of them still wage war. I am a Christian, and the teachings of Jesus state clearly that one should not fight and instead love his or her enemies. (The Bible also states multiple times that an eye for an eye is just, but I won't get into that) If Christians are supposed to be peaceful, then what was that blurp in the Middle Ages called the Crusades? Aren't those supposed to be religiously motivated?

You might be thinking of the Heaven's Gate cult, where the members actually DID commit suicide. They were gonna hitch a ride on the invisible "ship" in the tail of the Hale-Bopp comet.

Just curious, while I'm not the biggest supporter of Wikipedia, where you get the idea that "most" entries are unsourced? Most of the entries ARE sourced, as ANY editor (and there are quite a few) who comes by and sees unsourced material will generally revert or delete it. And YES, their editors are fairly thorough and anal. I think this is a common misconception people have about Wikipedia. Would I use it as a source for a term paper (assuming I was still in school)? No. But it IS generally a legitimate resource, for people who don't mind doing a little fact-checking.

I found this hilarious thanks for posting that link Kaden.

"Scientology Method:

First, take a drunken, drug-addled madman. Then, add a double-fistfull of various amphetamines, barbiturates, opiates and other drugs. Pour a bottle of rum down his throat and shake, not stir. Then sit said drunken, drug-addled madman in the throes of amphetamine psychosis down at a manual keyboard and have him pound out reams of bizarre gibberish.

Then charge thousands of dollars to show it to people who sign an agreement beforehand that says they won't sue if they go insane or develop the blind staggers from applying the material in the now-profitable drug-frenzied ravings.

If anyone disagrees, call them at three in the morning and then hang up when they answer for the next twenty- five years. Alternately, leave a dead cat on their front porch.

If experimental results do not verify the hypotheses of the crazed, drunken lunatic, report to Ethics immediately, you psych-indoctrinated pea brain mental midget!"

You know, the most scary thing about Scientology is that I don't believe L. Ron Hubbard was crazy. A pathological liar and sociopath yes, but not insane. Everything he did, especially in connection with the so-called Church of Scientology, was planned with the explicit purpose of making him lots of money. These actions present of a sane and calculating mind, the real crazy people were the ones so desperate and foolish as to believe his lies and join Scientology. He preyed on the naive nature of humanity to seek out the most simple solution to any problem and bled his "followers" dry. He was probably the best con artist of our time and completely sane.

There are people who undoubtedly see L. Ron Hubbard as a lunatic chiefly because they are afraid and unable to see him for what he truly is. They are afraid to admit that sane men can be monsters and instead hide behind the fallacy that barbarism is reserved for the mad. There is no doubt in my mind that he was completely sane and indeed a monster.

john the baptist, I've been thinking about your last post, and I don't think we should get rid of those types of people at all. By themselves, they are utterly harmless. Like cows to the slaughter, however, men and women flock to these monsters and endow them with their power. Instead of getting rid of people like L. Ron Hubbard, we need to get people to show a little common sense and not be fooled by the hollow promises presented by these people, thereby removing their power by removing their congregation of followers.

john the baptist

02-24-2008, 10:05 PM

People go to whatever makes them happy. In the Scientologist religion they think that you're not to blame for your evil actions, therefor people will go to it. But if we got rid of Hubbard there wouldn't be a Scientology.

Maverick

02-24-2008, 10:11 PM

True, but that is nothing but a temporary fix. Sure, we can say that if we get rid of people like Hubbard these organizations would fall, but how would one do that? And even if one could, there is no possible scenario where another person like Hubbard would not come around in a few years. I believe that the only permanent solution would be to educate the masses that their actions have consequences and no matter how much they pay their problems will not go away. But, it seems that this is impossible as well.

There are different definitions each with a varying degree of scaryness, but the one that I personally learned is that a nihilist is a person that believes in nothing. More precisely, nothing matters. Life, death, and everything in between is completely futile and nothing truly exists. If you are worried by this, I am not a nihilist. It was meant as a joke, but I just got back from skiing all day and I am too tired to think of a proper one.

It seems that most people have moments when they feel that way, but a true nihilist is a very lonely person. To believe in nothing would be to believe that love, friendship, and family is meaningless. I would pity someone who felt that way at all times, although I question its viability.

And with that, I bid you adieu. I'm going to bed.

UNODRAGONE

02-25-2008, 06:38 AM

wow

Nihilism is the belief that all values are baseless and that nothing can be known or communicated. It is often associated with extreme pessimism and a radical skepticism that condemns existence. A true nihilist would believe in nothing, have no loyalties, and no purpose other than, perhaps, an impulse to destroy. While few philosophers would claim to be nihilists, nihilism is most often associated with Friedrich Nietzsche who argued that its corrosive effects would eventually destroy all moral, religious, and metaphysical convictions and precipitate the greatest crisis in human history. In the 20th century, nihilistic themes--epistemological failure, value destruction, and cosmic purposelessness--have preoccupied artists, social critics, and philosophers. Mid-century, for example, the existentialists helped popularize tenets of nihilism in their attempts to blunt its destructive potential. By the end of the century, existential despair as a response to nihilism gave way to an attitude of indifference, often associated with antifoundationalism.

I'm kind of a special case here, being a Therian, and an atheist, but also having Paganistic beliefs thrown in there somewhere. But one of the main things I go by is not flaming people for their beliefs. I don't hold life in high regard, and could as easily kill you as shack your hand, but living in a fascist environment where people are not able to speak their thoughts, is worse then, or equal to, being dead in my book. I don't agree with Tom Cruise, and I certainly think he could have been a bit less opposing then he had been, but I will not bash him for his views, and don't think anyone else should either...but then again, if I were to force that on you, that would make me a hypocrite...

Now if you believe that same toaster has the right to separate your families apart because others don't agree with you, thats where we draw the line. Among other things.

The Church of Scientology is that evil toaster. In all seriousness the protesters have thus far been nothing but peaceful. True, there where some people who made harassing phone calls and denial of service attacks. However the Anonymous group owned up to it.

I am aware of Anonymous, and aware of what the Co$ is doing to their followers. I am, of course, against it. But I have never seen anything to state that Tom Cruise is part of the Co$. I do know Scientologists that are outside the church, and simply sympathize with the beliefs. Since non of you know Tom Cruise personally, I think you should refrain judgment.

Tom Cruise on Tom Cruise Scientologist. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4O2_rZIgrQI)

Listen to him rant like a mad man about how Scientology is the ONLY way to live.

"We are the authorities..."

"I won't hesitate to put ethics in someone..."

"Your on board or your not on board..."

I've heard evangelicals sound less zealous. Also really read in between the lines with what he is talking about when he speaks about "SP"s.

Also look at this video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIl0VYQjaNY&feature=related

Watch as the Co$ pretty much made up a medal and a title just for their precious star. Listen to how Mr. Cruise speaks the audience.

"So what do you say? Are we going to clean this place up?"

This is a RALLY speech. He is telling these people "David is our leader and we will do what he says."

He is the Goebbels of Scientology or at least he is trying to be.

http://www.daserste.de/goebbels/img/goebbels1.jpg

BTW for those who are German or German descent I don't mean to offend you but Mr.Cruise's actions just oddly reminds me of this despicable human being. Germany has for years been trying to reconstruct their world image sense WWII, and I hope they continue with their national healing from those times. What Mr.Cruise is doing is promoting to a world audience that Scientology (Which is a Totalitarian Organization) is the authority and the only way to live. Goebells did the same for his Für during the Nazi's reign.

Spirit Wynd

03-25-2008, 05:21 PM

Wow...but, then again, there are Rallies for many different things. Forceful arguments have been used in Christian Rallies, Abortion rallies, and yes, Nazi rallies. I just don't see how we can be sure unless he comes out and says "I support and stand with the Co$." If he's said that, or something equal to that, then I'll, of course, eat my words. But I think we must be very careful to distinguish the Co$ from devout Scientologists separate from the Church.

Why do you doubt he's aware, and why would you assume he'd defect. If he's shown anything it's that he thinks Scientology is the only way, and I'm pretty sure that he'd have no problem with the ends justifying the means.

The main reason I doubt he's aware is the fact that I seriously don't think the "Church" would risk letting their elite stars in on their dark little secrets. Does Tom know that his "Golden Room" in Clearwater was built by the slave labor known as the RPF?
Well maybe, but that's a bit like stars turning a blind eye to the fact that wherever they go they are waited on hand-and-foot by people who are probably paid next to nothing. Not to mention the scores of possible undocumented workers who keep their homes clean and landscape their palatial estates.
