Ok, I have to ask...where is Oprah in all of this?
canuckcutie said:J-Lo is friendly with Scieno Leah Remini. Wouldn't surprise me if they are trying to recruit her either as she's very wealthy. I'm doubtful that she and Tom are close, I think they were desperate for celeb guests so they took what they could get.
what possibly deaths linked to scientology if you dont mind saying?
sorry if this sounds stupid or naiive but what does scientology stand for?and what is the religion like?
erin_k said:I read that Will Smith stated that he and Jada do not really believe in organized religion and he will not be converting, although he's still friends with mr cruise....
anyway, I don't see why there's hoop-la about them doing another wedding party, many *celebrities* have had 2 parties/receptions to accomidate family and friends. I don't know why it's so hard to be happy for other people.
swizzlekiss0125 said:my disagreement with scientology doesn't come so much from their beliefs but from their irresponsibility in representing their views on psychology etc, and also from the supposed corruption both economically and morally. it's been said for years and years that l. ron hubbard created scientology on a drunken bet with another science fiction writer, as well as the possible deaths linked to scientology. but that's just me

I mean, who would have ever guessed that Katie and Posh would be BBF months ago?
^ their publicists? whatever they do, it always seems trivial to me ... i'm amused
Think how much more power Scientology might have if they got Oprah on their side, with all her money and influence. Thank goodness she's not falling for it.canuckcutie said:Oprah is on the outs with Clammy Cruise because in the minds of the public Oprah = manic couch jumping episode. Plus I think Oprah is way to smart to fall for the Scieno junk and so they are giving her a wide berth. If she's not going to join up and give 30% of her income and/or kiss tom's *** then they see no need to bother with her.

Google "deaths scientology" and you'll get tons of links.
the story of Xenu and his Galactic Confederacy. Xenu (sometimes Xemu) is introduced as an alien ruler of the "Galactic Confederacy" who, 75 million years ago, brought billions of people to Earth in spacecraft resembling Douglas DC-8 airliners, stacked them around volcanoes and blew them up with hydrogen bombs. Their souls then clustered together and stuck to the bodies of the living. The alien souls continue to do this today, causing a variety of physical ill-effects in modern-day humans. Hubbard called these clustered spirits "Body Thetans," and the advanced levels place considerable emphasis on isolating them and neutralizing their ill effects.[17]
Scientologists have argued that the published accounts of the Xenu story and other colourful teachings are distortions of their practice, presented out of context for the purpose of ridiculing their religion. Journalists and critics of Scientology counter that the Xenu episode is part of a much wider Scientology belief that past lives on other planets are a source of negative influences on the mind and spirit in the present. Some of this has been public knowledge for decades. For instance, Hubbard's 1958 book Have You Lived Before This Life documents past lives described by individual Scientologists during auditing sessions, including some that are reported to antedate what modern astronomy estimates as the age of the universe. Internal Scientology publications are often illustrated with pictures of spaceships and oblique references to catastrophic events that happened "75 million years ago" (i.e., the Xenu incident).[citation needed]
While reliable information about Scientology membership is notoriously elusive, there is little reason to doubt that most practicing Scientologists have not attained a sufficiently high level on "The Bridge" to have learned the details about Xenu and Body Thetans. Therefore, while knowledge of Xenu and Body Thetans is said to be crucial to the highest level church teachings, it cannot be regarded as a core belief of rank-and-file Scientologists.
Now you get why it's so ridiculous?
