Tom Cruise Scientology Video

January 15th, 2008 by Wendy

Tom Cruise shares his beliefs in Scientology in this YouTube video clip.

Tom Cruise, the Scientologist, talks about Scientology, including:

“If you’re a Scientologist, you see life, you see things the way they are, in all its glory, all of its complexity and the more you know as a Scientologist, you don’t become overwhelmed by it.”

Anyone else freaked by the pseudo Mission Impossible music?

More explanation of some of the terminology that Tom Cruise uses in this acceptance speech video (he’s won the Freedom Medal of Valor award for the International Association of Scientologists), such as KSW and SP… after the jump.

This list of Scientology terminology comes from a list of definitions found at RADAR in the comments section, provided by a former Scientologist. Highlights include:

KSW (short for Keeping Scientology Working): A policy written by L. Ron Hubbard in the 1960′s that requires all Scientologists to follow his words and his rules exactly.
Out-ethics: any behavior that violates any of Hubbard’s rules of conduct.
Put ethics in on someone else: make others conform to Hubbard’s rules of behavior.
SP: Suppressive Person. Anyone that doesn’t like Scientology and/or criticizes Scientology.
PTS/SP: another bogus Hubbard term to define behavior that goes against Scientology rules.
LRH technology or “tech”: all the Scientology policies, rules, mandates, procedures.

Alright, I’m not going to jump on the band-wagon … instead, I’m going to ask for your help. I do believe your sincerity and belive that you would help, if you could, Tom, please.

What the crap was that?!?! For goodness sakes Tom, you’re a good looking man. You don’t need to act like a freak show to get attention. God help us all.

Um, is it me or does this video of Tom remind all of us of that one buddy in college who was trippin too hard one night and sat down in front of a mirror to have a complete conversation with himself that absolutely no other person on the planet could understand? Of course, I suppose if we were either in, or we were out, SP or no SP we could use our LRH technology to either help Tom or convince him to help us. ( I could use a new car, Tom.)

Holy crap! This is so much babble. Scientology simply a cult. Bottom line. There’s no way to convince me otherwise, especially with that Tom Cruise video. It’s just insane, and so is he.

Tom, I know that you want to help the world find peace. You say you (and other scientologists) see reality more clearly than others. But, the reality is, that there are still wars, most of them financed or connected with the United States. Can you deny this? Or, are you saying that you will create peace by making everyone else a scientologist? When will this happen? And, how do you propose to convert people living in poverty and oppression, people who believe just as strongly in Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity, etc? And, even the people who are in want of nothing? Change comes from individual revelation – yes, one person can make a difference, but through humility and compassion, not arrogance. Martin Luther King is a great example of someone who affected true change; and yet, he was not a scientologist. How do you explain this history? All I would suggest is, keep an open mind…your family needs you…and you need them.

There are some things in life that you just have to go and find out for yourself. I did and have been using Scientology in my life ever since. It certainly was what I was searching for spiritually.
