  Scientology is a KILLER cult and found L Ron Hubbard intended to break people down, who went against the grain, by causing them to have a psychotic break. From what I have seen by Scientologists, including Cruise, even loyalists are having psychotic breaks. Furthermore, Scientology attracts many hurting people and then takes them off mental and other medications. Look at that kid, Jeremy something, who was a known Schizophrenic, taken off his meds, and stabbed him mother to death over 70 times! Scientology kills. Where did Hubbard ever get off thinking he could start his own "religion" when he was a paranoid schizophrenic Sci-Fi author previously??

  Amazing his lawyer even responded - dont they know that reactionary remarks suggest some colonel of truth is being touched, some part of his commentary is causing this knee- jerk reaction from the Cruise Camp.

  Next they will say they are just defending Tom from religious persecution. Well if there is any religion deserved of formal investigation its Scientology whose founder, L Ron Hubbard is quoted as saying something to the tune of "If you want real money and power you have to start a religion."

  How else does a self indulgent second rate sci-fi writer prove himself to the world?

  Cruise has never learned to just shut up and ignore the whispers, especially when it comes to his favorite philosophy, but then again publicity is publicity and who is the master that makes the grass green?

  Tom Cruise is a turd that thinks everyone is entitled to his opinion. Leave him alone, don't react to his ignorant statements and maybe he will just go away.

  Dr Drew probably right about this, which is likely the real reason for the rabid response from the cruise camp. Quantify the manic behaviors of someone in complete denial, and the classic reaction on their part, would be reacting as if the person making the truthful (and in this case, medically degreed & specializing in the diagnosis & treatment of

  celebrities' physiological & psychological problems) is the problem.

  After all, when there's a whole logjam of stuff being squelched down

  in denial, anyone who dares call attention to that, is reacted to with vitriolic defensive posturing. Get help Tom. Call Charter House, or get help somewhere. Talk to Dr Drew, and maybe get some bio-identicals

  to manage that ADHD, which alleviate those manic behavioral episodes.

  Obviously, paying all that money to become a high-level scientologist

  isn't really addressing whatever core issues are underneath your compensating behaviors, that are so loudly & clearly demonstrated.

  Pretty funny that Tom Cruise is P.O.'ed about being diagnosed by Dr. Drew when he didn't seem to have a problem trying to tell Brooke Shields how to treat her post-partum depression.

  I agree with Dr. Drew. Tom Cruise comes across as mentally unbalanced especially when he talks about Scientology. He gives me the creeps!

  I was thinking exactly what you wrote, Disgruntled! Cruise is a major hypocrite! He started this when he diagnosed Shields, and those like her. If you can't stand the head, stay out of the kitchen!

  TOM SHOWED HIS LOVE BY JUMPING ON A SOFA. SO WHAT!! HE'S IN LOVE. I DO THINK HE IS CONTROLLING, BUT ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE.

  IF TOM DOESN'T BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST ALL IS LOST.

  I say "You go Tom." Two thumbs up to him and his lawyer. Don 't take crap from this guy. He is looking for his five minutes of fame and Tom is the perfect way for him to get it.

  Come on people. Grow up, find out the truth about the Scientology before you try to bash it. I know some Christians that behave worse than that. So what if Tom is excited about his life and wants everyone to know about Scientology.

  What is it that you are afraid of? Learning that he is right? Learning that your shrink is trying to kill you with anti depressant meds. They are finally admitting that some of those drugs do make you worse but people still take them, why? Because they can not handle the truth.

  SO again I say to Tom and his lawyer Way to go, keep up the good work and don't let those jerks bother you.

  Who hasn't been neglected in some way or another as a child? Every religion has some aspect of being a cult, some are just better at hiding it. Tom Cruise is just like anyone else he's just a celebrity who is a constant target for people with no lives of their own. I don't know much about scientology but I do know this "religious people bother me" and yes that means you, not just Tom Cruise.

  Tom shouldn't complain..he's already spouted off his medical opinions, and as far as I know has had NO medical training...The only reason the Scientologists are so anti-psychiatry is that did not give L Ron Hubbard the credence he so much wanted from them for his "work." It's very irresponsible for Mr Cruise to diagnose and recommend treatment for patients with depression...what an idiot...
