Yes, well, "galactic overlord" kind of reminds me of a few other religions that billions of people belong to. How is Scientology any weirder?robertsmom said:Scientology IS a cult. It was made up by some freaky science fiction writer who was obviously

I'm hoping that they won't be able to come to a pre-nuptual agreement. I keep hearing that her dad (a lawyer) is getting really tough with it. I'm sure to the point where Tom isn't happy with it. Remember he left Nicole just before their 10th anniversary which would have given her a lot more money from him. I really hope this stunt comes to an end soon.Daxx said:So, why haven't you married her yet, Tom!? What are you waiting for!?!?

It isn't. It's just more new.

You may feel you are all for freedom of religion, but your posts don't seem reflect that.CathrynRose said:Unless youre a Scientologist - seriously, please go research some of the past members points of views. Its a cult.
I am all for freedom of religion - but the whole point of that is to be able to believe freely. Once youre in the CoS, youre stuck there... or close to ruined if you attempt to leave. What other organized religion stalks you?![]()
Holly said:Calling a religion a cult is so arrogant.
You are technically right, so I can't disagree.VSL said:Actually, all religions are cults (when we talk about Ancient Greece or Egypt or whatever we talk about 'the cult of Ptah' or 'the cult centre at Memphis').
I agree that now it has negativity surrounding it, but essentially all organized religions come under the term of 'cult'.

And so is passive aggressiveness.CathrynRose said:And so is name-calling.

Oh gee that was too funny. I like the way she thinks.
On whether he told ex-wife Nicole Kidman, with whom he has two children, about the pregnancy: "It's not like anything I had to or didn't have to do. I wish her well."
