  Agreed Mark-
  
  "The Master" does indeed show how a cult leader is "born".

    We were talking about this at Easter dinner yesterday with my siblings, nieces and nephews...one of my sisters read, that Katie Holmes HAD to leave Cruise before Suri turned 5. At age 5 the Scientology "training" begins and they get "shared" custody of the child...Katie said, not my kid and not on my watch...
    
    The early interviews with Travolta are VERY telling...his success started with his joining Scientology...they basically took credit for all the good things happening to him...he guzzled that Kool-Aid...(yes, that is a pun)
    
    Paul Haggis was genuinely embarrassed about his involvement. He has 2 gay daughters and was told he would have to "disconnect", (disown), them...Scientology does not like homosexuals, bad for business...
    
    The other major component of this tale is the $MONEY$...they are relentless on pursuing you to keep giving more and more and more...they are over a billion dollar entity, paying NO taxes...
    
    For lack of a better term, this is a religious Ponzi scheme...they never really reveal what it is all about, until you pay enough money in, climb their ladder of levels, (there are 8 levels and it takes years to achieve depending how much $$$ you have donated), and you have done enough auditing, (confession), that they have so much dirt on you...you cannot leave, fear of exposure and blackmail...keeping things cryptic, with a slow reveal of their beliefs and tenants, is actually quite brilliant in a twisted mind control kind of way...Hubbard built this thing in layers for his own plausible deniability...which Scientology has wrapped itself in...
    
    Thanks
    Mark

      A buddy's brainiac (somewhat attractive) sister dropped in for the holidays. I was told she had "something to do" with Scientology and they thought she had become a millionaire. She wouldn'T tell them what she did but she did splash some maor cash. My buddy thought it was some sort of pyramid scheme. In the 80's I had no info or interest in Scientology.

        I remember in the early to mid 70's his books being advertised on TV. My Mother was a avid reader, I remember when she was reading one of his books. I asked her what it was about, she said "I don't really know, kind of a self-help book"...
        
        I had taped this and watched it again last night...their surveillance antics are truly disturbing...Marty Rathbun having his house watched for the last 5 years is just creepy crazy, (by Scientology renting the house across the street!!??!!), is something I do not know if could handle...
        
        Rathbun's wife is suing David Miscavige personally, her never being a member of the "church", does not feed their 1st amendment defense...this could get interesting...
        
        Thanks

          Yeah that caught my interest enough to buy the book. I was in high school then and tried to read it but couldn't understand it....so I put it away and thought that I wasn't yet educated enough to comprehend what was written. A few years later I tried it again....and came to the conclusion that it's nonsense.

    ...and with what they have on Cruise and Travolta's personal lives and gay leanings through all the years of auditing, Scientology is like the Hotel California.

      Yeah, I thought that exact same thing with Travolta and Cruise...video recording in the Confessional...Pope Frank would never allow that...
