Wat is scientology

@ Macarol: One thing I DO know about it is that is is NOT just for the rich. Sure the rich donate money to the causes they believe in, but I actually know one scientologist, and even tho I still don't completely get it, I know he never has to donate anything. And btw... He is a very smart and inteligent man. Very good father to his children and there is nothing creepy about him. So that is why I doubt so much scientology really is creepy... If I need to use him as a reference, it doesn't sound so brainwashing or scary.

When I turned against Tom was when he criticized Brooke Shields when she revealed her Post Partum Depression following the birth of one of her children. He said he'd studied all about it and it was something that could be helped by Scientology, and I saw that as a bunch of bull and him as someone with a big mouth and no clue. The last thing a woman needs to hear about is a man's opinion of a female illness. You've got to live it, not read about it in a book Tom. And I found myself hoping at that time that Katie never suffered from any female illnesses or afflictions cause she'd get no understanding or sympathy from him. How Nicole put up with him for as long as she did, I'll never know - she must have the patience of a saint.

I feel so sorry for him as I would for any zealot anywhere. People so warped by their beliefs that all common sense goes out the window. From his over devotion towards his religion to the way he has had Katie followed by those goons to try and intimidate her clearly there is something very wrong. Nicole kidman went through something similar in that detctives followed her to find dirt and her phones were tapped something she brought up in an interview. So scary...

What happened to the children he adopted when he was married to Nicole? Did they go the special Scientology school Kate feared he was going to put Suri in? Did he get custody or Nicole or was it split? He is so hung up Scientology I wonder why he has never married or been involved with a woman from that group? He seems to always hook up with a much younger female so there is no doubt he feels a need to control. I know his first wife was into Scientology and introduced him to it but she got out rather quickly. I do not know to much about it but are there any poor people in this group or people who live pay check to pay check any one averaging $26,000 a yr or lower? Just wondering? It sounds like a group for only the rich!
