I hope that the dismal box-office returns will mark the end to Tom Cruise’s career. Mel Gibson made a few racist remarks and was tape recorded cursing out his ex and his career tanked. Cruise did far worse than Gibson. Cruise shilled for a destructive cult. He acted like an arrogant brainwashed son-of-a-bitch in front of Matt Lauer. He condoned slave labor when his BFF, Miscavige, ordered his .30 cent an hour Sea Org members to work on his hanger, motor cycles, and vehicles. Tom Cruise should be in jail along with his boyfriend, DM. He doesn’t deserve a career. People should boycott his films. I sincerely hope that his next film tanks. I pray for his ruination.

All the people who couldn’t get into The Hobbit.

I think the quick payoff, leaving everyone to wonder just what else Debbie had on Davey and rest of Co$ management, does a lot more to erode confidence than a few more horror stories revealed would have done (much like the quick settlement between Tom and Katie. She may, in fact, have nothing damning on him and the Cult, but good luck ever getting anyone [me included] to believe that.) There have to be a lot of people still in that are asking themselves “Why did they settle if everything she said was a lie.”

Imagination can be a lot more powerful than the truth.

Lee Child did a cameo in the film and praised Tom Cruise’s portrait of (to quote Derick Bloch) ‘Jacques Reacharound’. Of course, Lee wants to see more Reacher movies and probably doesn’t care who plays his protagonist.

The will that was probated was supposedly signed just days before Lrons death and the will was delivered to probate by David Miscavige. I don’t know of any earlier wills, so I don’t know if Mary Sue was cheated out of anything. I haven’t seen anything that tells of Mary Sues life after Lron died, I would think that DM would have bought her off and received a non-disclouse agreement in return. No one else in Hubbard’s family seems to have received any thing from his estate.

Je ne sais quoi!

Yes1subgenius, I relish the thought of putting my boots to the ground holding picket signs but fortunately the Cult doesn’t even register as a blip here in the Atlantic Provinces with a population of around 2.3 million. There is one “mission” in Halifax, Nova Scotia , a 4 hour drive from here but no wheels of my own. I’m in this game alone here other than one of my brothers who through non invasive dissemination (on my part) decided to boycott Tom Cruise movies. Brother “Bill” took the “Oxford Capacity Analysis ” tests back in the 70’s when the cult tried to set up shop here in Saint John N.B. This was at a time when he was on a spiritual quest and this was an era when other groups such as Hare Krishna, the Moonies and Children of God were vying for members.

After completing the test he was turned off by their elitist attitude and pressure for sales so he just walked away quickly from that.

I hope to be well enough to visit my daughter in Saskatchewan this coming summer and one of my goals is to visit the Co$ in Saskatoon and stage my own protest. I’ll be looking for support from anyone close enough to join in and for any ideas on how best to present my demonstration against them.
In the New Year I’m going to donate to Mark Bunker’s documentary with an SP3 donation. I also post msgs to counter the fantastical claims of Co$ on media sites. If petitions were drawn up I would gladly sign in my own name. I sent a donation to someone here who is pulling their life together after being raised in the cult and now re educating themselves.
Last but not least I do think the ex members and others who are searching gain support and encouragement from our community. We do what we can and it is good to get advice and suggestions on how to more effective. Thank You.

In addition to Real Life [tm] action, the number of new voices heard in comment in 2012 was interesting. While I did my fair share of predicting the end of the criminal organisation known as the “church” of $cientology back in the day (and was wrong), I think that the years since 2008 have gone worse and worse for said criminal organisation and that makes me happy.

Perhaps Chris Hemsworth would be a better cast? May be Tom can introduce him graciously as his replacement for both Mission Impossible and Jack Reacher in 2013 without loosing his face too much.

I do like my new Android-based Samsung Galaxy S III very much. Unlike Scientology, it delivers.
