oh well thank you again 🙂 Yeah, I tend to be a little eccentric. I blame that entirely on the internet, as it does encourage the behavior.

I really think your on to something here, Violet! His smugness, is almost like a nervous tick, and his inability to answer questions without laughing extremely creepily, is another insecurity! I can’t watch any movie he is in without seeing him jump on Oprah’s couch! Also, I can’t support people whole look down on people with disabilities! It is ironic that as dumb as he is, you’d think he would not be accepted into this “cult fold,” but for his celebredum?

Non-professional take or not, I think it makes a whole lot of sense. I’ve always believed him to be not so swift and that insecurity may be his Achilles heel. Feeling that he has the upper hand and that Scientologists like him have the responsibility to lead is clearly empowering to this little man.

To see L. Ron Hubbard ramblings, made me creeped out! To hear about all the made up military stories, suggests he’s a pathological liar! I am also very insulted as an honorably discharged Veteran, that he spoke so many lies about his military experience, that I feel he should have been thrown in prison for impersonating an honorable war hero!

Also, as a service connected Veteran, diagnosed with “Organic Personal Trauma Post Traumatic Stress Disease”, it is insulting that this cult would find shame in being around me! I assure those cult members, you should be so lucky to know me!

Furthermore, SCIENTOLOGISTS, your “so called leader LRH,” wrote the Veterans Administration for help with his physiological problems! He is a HYPOCRITE, and you are now bitches of a hypocritical cult! If you really want to see, look at the facts! Take back your lives!

I believe Tom is pretty dumb, and knows he’s pretty dumb, and has always been made to feel dumb [I don’t mean dumb because he’s dyslexic, which smart people can also be, I mean just plain dumb.] He seems very insecure about not being smart, and Scientology gives him a way to feel like he knows something other people don’t know, and he has superior knowledge, which makes him special. Just a couple of examples, and I don’t have direct quotes, are in his rambling video, he repeatedly says something like “I know, I know” or “we know” and also how condescending he is to non-Scientologists like Matt Lauer, when he was shaking his head at Matt, and calling him “glib,” because he just didn’t “understand” how evil psychiatry is.

Cruise believes that he is one of a few people who has all the answers, and that the world needs him, even if people don’t understand they need him. He needs this validation to feel “smart,” and it would be too devastating to him to admit that, not only is he just a guy who doesn’t have all the answers; he’s considerably dumber than many. That’s my non-professional take on why he’ll never leave.

I posted a bunch of replies, but not sure if he deleted them.

I’m not sure why so few people have signed the petition. Maybe the information about Scientology retaliation actually has people afraid to have their names on the list? They could use the fact that the petition didn’t reach 100k to argue to politicians that the larger public doesn’t care enough about this issue to push for the exemption to be revoked, which worried me. I’ve been tweeting and posting it,and I signed it. I hope it starts picking up steam, because it only has 3 more weeks to go.

I have a problem with people who say they still enjoy Cruise’s movies, and can separate his personal crap from his acting. I can’t do that. First, I have no desire to support the income of someone who in turn gives it to Scientology, nor do I want to give him one more ounce of credibility. Also, how can I enjoy watching him in something knowing what a dips**t he is.

oh i do!! i’ll tweet it some day—and of course give you credit! 🙂
