Yeah! I’m in LOVE these whistles, Oprah!!
YEAHHH!!!
I saw that clip online. It frightened me.
His feud with Brooke Shields frightens me. Not that I’m a particular fan of either one, but he apparently criticized her use of Paxil for the treatment of post partum depression (throwing in an unwarranted dig at her career in the process.)
I knew there was a reason he never appealed to me from the get go.
So. He DIDN’T have you at “hello?”
Best wishes,
Jerry
No! (But I actually sort of liked that movie!)
I want to know if one of those whistles is a Generation and, if so, is one of the “great” ones. If it is, how did Mr. Cruise come by it: did he have one of his minions buy a bazillion Generations to find a great one? Did he order it direct from Generation for a bazillion dollars? If either of the above, why oh why didn’t I buy some Generation stock? Does Mr. Cruise play the whistle or does one of his minions do that for him as well? Does Katie Holmes chiff his fipple? I would think the dean of whistle journalism would be able to ferret out the answers to these and many more questions we all must have.
Personally, I dig Jessica Holmes…

just something about a woman that can make me laugh so hard I pee a little
I try to be respectful of other religions, but there has always been something about Scientology that just plain scares me. I’ve never been able to determine what that “something” is, though.
I agree.
I really have never liked Tom Cruise all that much. I think it’s because all of my friends thought my brother looked like him. Kinda turned me off to him completely 
L Ron Hubbard, the inventor of scientology, was a science fiction writer, and the esoteric writings of scientology read like science fiction to me. I studied their literature and went to several meetings in the 70’s. I could see that it was going to be very expensive to get “clear”. Then I learned that L Ron Hubbard had his headquarters on a ship at sea and that his followers on board wore weird-looking uniforms. I ran for the door at that point. It began to remind me of one of my close neighbors in Indiana, Jim Jones, who led his followers to South America, where most of them ended up dead from a mass murder/suicide.
Jeanna Elfman?
No, Kirstie Alley.

Lotta truth on that site..I dated a Scientologist for 7 years.
I worked with a fellow into Scientology. A nice enough fellow, nothing peculiar about him. Even when he talked about Scientology it was calm and rational sounding. I can see why it appeals to so many people that are looking for something. There is a strong base of logic in their teachings. Even their text, is subtitled “The Modern Science of Mental Health.”
This fellow liked it so much, he went to work for them, giving up a good steady job and large sum of money to get credentialed by them. A few months after that there was a front page article in a major news magazine about some seedy business dealings involving the Church of Scientology. The focus was on the kind of business that my coworker joined up to do. As I understand it, he never got paid for the work he did, and lost his job a bit after the storm broke.
A lot of people confuse Scientology with Christian Science, and Religious Science. The latter two have some commonality, however Scientology is not related, though it is by far the biggest now.
John Travolta is another actor big into Scientology. There may be something to the belief system and his success. Most churches would love to have Travolta or similar big earners promoting their religion and giving 10% or more of their enormous incomes to the church.
Because of strong Hollywood connections I would wager that Scientology gets better treatment in newspapers and network TV and NPR than most other organized religions. It is weird like that.
Ugh. I know. People use Christian Science (Mary Baker Eddy’s religion) and Scientology (L. Ron Hubbard’s) as synonyms sometimes.
They’re extremely different faiths and have virtually nothing in common other than the word “Science” in their names.
For you who criticize Scientology you should have your body thetans removed right away.
As a Boston sport’s writer wrote once - We need to remember that these young baseball players are young men with a lot of money who have received abnormal treatment throughout their lives. We know about them because they have unique physical gifts. Why on earth anyone would pay attention to anything they say on any topic other than baseball is beyond me.
Same applies to Tom Cruise, Brook Shields, Pat Sajack, Mel Gibson, Mel Brooks or any other celebity, athlete or musician.
I like Cruise movies but until he passes the rational human test, I’m not interested in his actual thoughts. He or anyone else can establish their credibility in new lines of endeavor. I think he’s not there yet. Maybe he shouldn’t stand on the chair.
