Chances are this video will get pulled any second now, so watch it while you can, because it's nine minutes of Tom Cruise at his creepiest.
This is a Scientology film called Tom Cruise: Scientologist, where Tom Cruise directs his trademark brand of crazy-eyed, oversincere, babbling enthusiasm at Scientology itself for the benefit of other Scientologists around the world. And, by crap, we'll be buggered if it doesn't make any sense at all.
This isn't Tom Cruise the tiny entertainer or Tom Cruise the confusing couch-jumper – this is Tom Cruise: Scientologist, the man who has introduced Scientology to "over one billion people of Earth," and who won't hesitate to put his ethics in someone. And it sort of makes us want to go and hide in a corner for a bit.
On the likelihood that the video does get yanked soon, Heatworld has some transcribed some key passages from the interview, including our current favourite:
"It is the time now. Now is the time… Being a Scientologist, people are turning to you, so you better know it, you better know it and if you don’t, go and learn it, but don’t pretend you know it. It’s like we’re here to help."
Really. This is odd.

I’m not a Scientologist but I have some nice friends who are and they tell me that people who attack Scientology can always be found to have criminal backgrounds. Why would they be against
the good things that Scientology is doing if they were’nt suppresive in some way?
Scabby says
Was this video edited by Scientologists? Or was it edited by someone else to make him look bad? Cause it seemed like they used lots of quotes out of context to make him seem loopy. Not that I’m defending the Cruiser at all, but the other side is it’s his private life he can do what he wants, just dont come to my house spouting that stuff at me. Although did anyone else just think he was playing Frank T.J. Mackey again in that clip?

You should point out to them that this is technically known as poisoning the well and is not well thought of as an argument tactic.
On the other hand, you may just be pretending to have friends to impress the internet. My money’s on that.

Terryeo says
I rather enjoyed the film clip. :)
mike says
Terryeo is a liar. He absolutely is a $cientologist. He defends Scientology across the Internet. He’s most notorious for his Wiki pedia edits. Terryeo is doing exactly what Tom Cruise was talking about in that video. KSW, keep $cientology working, that means he has to lie to cover for his “church”. Terryeo you are a douche bag.

Lars says
He is delusional and finds himself and the issue at hand egotistical and comical— what is so funny Mr. Cruise? He is a shame for Scientology.
PJ says
Scientology is a cult, not a religion. It’s based on making money, and they make vast amounts. They harass and sue anyone who disagrees with them. They tear families apart; they brainwash their members. A “religion”? They don’t even believe in a god, much less worship. Go to http://www.xenu.net for the truth about this cult.
duneating says
Poor Tom. he only wants to romp & play and he can’t..he just cant because of his RESPONSIBILITY. I mean after all he is God and all that, I know its wrong but damn it I really hate that man, and I know I will probably go to hell and live for eternity with all the cats but I just can’t help it.
HOMONOVIS says
TOM CRUISE IS A BIG THETAN.
SPs will say that rhymes with Satan.
But SPs are Suppressive Persons and, my friend, are quite insane.
They want you to be less than certain.

Which is L. Ron Hubbard’s Bridge to Total Freedom.

My god tom cruise is a asshole with no life and scientology is fake fake fake there just crazy.Myself im a athiest

CHUCK, there is no prohibition on atheists becoming Scientologists.
GO TO YOUR LOCAL SCIENTOLOGY ORG, TODAY.
DO IT NOW.
ellabella says
Jesus H. Christ on a rusty bicycle. What a silly arse.
HOMONOVIS says
ellabella, visit your local Scientology Org.
They have knowledge there that will give you Total freedom and immortality.
Tom Cruise is worth 500 million. He’s a very smart man.
Would you like to be worth 500 million too?
Go to your local Scientology Org today.
John says
Its better than those religions like strict christianity that say, “if you do not accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you are doomed to eternal hellfire and damnation.”
At least in Scientology they don’t damn us all to various places. They try to help, whether or not they actually can. I personally doubt it, but it does make a good bedtime story.
sheila says
WEll I don’t know much about Scientology but I do understand what an occult is. I thought it was gooble de gob,nonsense.
Markie says
“TOM CRUISE IS A BIG THETAN.”
hahahhahahahahahaha
i’m sure Thetan means something very special and lovely to Scientologists but saying someone is a “big thetan” sounds like a vaguely rude insinuation to the rest of us.
Oh, and HOMONOVIS, does Scientology also Give you the Secret Special THETAN power to add Superfluous Capitalisation?
gir says
“At least in Scientology they don’t damn us all to various places.”
Unless of course you are critical of them, in which case they try to damn you into Federal Prison.
Yeah, nice bedtime story.
Truth says
How anybody could follow a 20th century religion is beyond me. Is it a religion? Probably a cult or a strange social group.
Their foundation seems to be money, not God, not Jesus.
The Bible makes it clear, if the group/speaker does not acknowledge that Jesus is the son of God then it is a fake religion.
gir says
Thanks “Truth”, I was wondering what this new-fangled “Christianity” thing was all about.
HOMONOVIS says
Markie and any others who are interested:
Thetan means YOU, the spiritual being. A thetan is immortal, but can enter into a dwindling spiral. These dwindling spirals last TRILLIONS of years. Is that beyond your humanoid reality? Probably. Nonetheless, as L. Ron Hubbard proved with his Scientific researches, it is quite factual.
For those of you who joke and ridicule Scientology, be informed that Scientology will have the last laugh. Without Scientology you are doomed to descend down the dwindling spiral, ultimately ending up as an insect, a cell, and finally trapped in solid matter. It’s a hell worse than any envisioned by any religion.
Do you really want that for your future? Or would you prefer TOTAL FREEDOM AND TOTAL POWER as a SPIRITUAL BEING, as a THETAN?
And, yes, some THETANS are bigger than others. L. Ron Hubbard was a very big thetan, and you can thank your lucky charms that he smiled upon this planet and became its greatest friend. He could easily have enslaved all Mankind, but instead chose to free all Mankind.
Don’t be a degraded being or a suppressive person, make the right decision. Get on the Bridge to TOTAL FREEDOM today.
I WANT YOU TO GO TO YOUR LOCAL SCIENTOLOGY ORG RIGHT NOW.
There is nothing that is more important. DO IT.

@ Homonovis:
Everything I needed to know about Scientology came from two things:
a) L. Ron’s own quotes about starting a religion and making a million dollars and
b) South Park’s hilarious, yet entirely factual, recounting of what it is that Scientologists believe in.
Anything else is just window-dressing and confirmation of taking advantage of unstable people who are looking for *anything* to believe in.

Realit says
This is exactly what causes all of the wars on earth. People who do not think for themselves! They fly pales into buildings and blow themselves up becuase their religion made them to do it. Ignorant brain washed mindless fool. Learn to think for yourself! Living your life by some shitty, old "Sciencetology" book from the 1960s is not sound judgement, you need medications and shock therapy.
Megan says
Wouldn’t it be marvellous if Big Thetan Tom didn’t ask permission and created a non-psychiatric treatment centre and cured everyone in the world with rampant psychoses. I’m sure he could do it. In fact, I’m wondering why it hasn’t happened already.
Stabby McGee says
Don’t be suppressive, he says… has anyone else seen the various documentaries about Scientology where ACTUAL SCIENTOLOGISTS use intimidation to suppress what the documentary makers are saying? Usually objectively, I might add. Talk about pot and kettle, jeez!
gir says
Everything I need to know in life I learned from South Park:
-Cartoons rule
-Fart jokes are funny
-The American political system is broken and two morons who cut out construction paper shapes for a living are the only geniuses who can fix it
-“I really learned something today” speeches solve all cultural, social, and religious problems
-Fart jokes are funny
euclid says
Very few faiths stand up to critical thinking.
This is why they require a “leap of faith”.
That being said, Scientology seems to be
a fairly hastily constructed and shoddy
‘religion’. It’s odd to me that as a failed science-
fiction writer L. Ron used so much of the same
material for his ‘religion’. Well, I guess people
will believe just about anything if someone charismatic
enough sells them on it.
By the way ‘Homonovis’, (your name is hilarious – are
you a Latinized “new man” or just coming out?) if the time
is now and your religion enables you to save and better
mankind, then what’s the hold up? You guys are pretty crap
at your job.
Ah well, I’ve got to go check my mailbox for snakes now.
HOMONOVIS says
WHEN THIS IS A SCIENTOLOGY PLANET YOU WON’T BE LAUGHING. YOU’LL BE ON YOUR KNEES BEGGING FOR FORGIVENESS.

H-man:
Does Homo Novis somehow translate in Sci-speak to
“on the payroll” in English? Are you on the clock when you write these comments?
What do they pay you to regurgitate fear and hostility? Just following orders?
Here’s an idea: change the name from Church of Scientology to
Church of Pastry Chefs.
You may have noticed that all previous attempts to ‘purify’ the human race involve the extermination of peoples who have traits that the leaders are unwilling to acknowledge in themselves. You are what you fight, so have a blast. Puppet.
Here’s an alternate universe for you: SP stands for Sensible Person.
Theta is a letter of the Greek alphabet, not your home planet, dipswitch.
Eros says
Tom’s a true believer, no doubt about that. I would wager that Miscavige and the other heads of this sham don’t actually believe this bullshit. It’s not a religion, it’s a cult run like a corporation. The most ruthless, thin-skinned, litigious, paranoid, unethical corporation you’ve ever seen.
HOMONOVIS says
Dear Euclid, and others:
Homo Novis means NEW MAN.
It is comparable but exceeds the “Superman” spoken of by philosophers in the past.
There are several important differences however:
Scientology only starts at Superman, and then works UPWARD from there to Super Being.
There is a special Rundown soon to available only in Clearwater, Florida, and it is the SUPER POWER RUNDOWN.
It will make planetary Clearing possible.
That means that the SPs (Suppressive Persons) in the population will no longer be able to stop the majority from becoming Scientologists and going free.
“This planet is ours.” L. Ron Hubbard.

Get a life you haters, at least Tom Cruise does not sit around on a computer hating on total strangers. Get a life people I see nothing wrong with Cruise. He wants to worship snakes, let him.
Megan says
Er…technically speaking no…you need to refresh on your latin…or rather Mr Hubbard should have. I think you’ll find that the masculine singular would be homo novus…how long are you giving it before you start to question what you’ve been told….for example, if the entire world hasn’t somehow turned into Scientology World by, say, 2010….could it be possible that these aren’t superbeings but superbelievers in something that isn’t actually true? Sorry for asking a question…I know these aren’t enjoyed by Scientologists.
Eros says
Dear Scientologists,
Why do you put everyone in categories? If you’re a Scientologist, you are well on your way to becoming superman, or an operating thetan, capable of helping when you see a car wreck because you are the ONLY ONE who can, while all the rest of us who simply want to live our lives, choosing from the rich panoply of thought and belief, are labeled Suppressive Persons. If I am to question anything about Scientology, including:
the way it sues people to keep from being investigated
the fact that LRH is not a war hero and is down on record saying he wanted to start a religion because “that’s where the money is”
all the revisionist history about LRH and ex-leaders who just disappear
the prison-like atmosphere of the Sea Org
the constant harassment of critics
the private investigators hired by the Church to follow journalists/ex-members/critics
why does any religion regard their doctrine as trade secrets and requires it’s members to pay thousands of dollars to receive this? Why isn’t everything available for all the see and discover for themselves?
Oh, wait, that was a rhetorical question. See, it HAS to be taken in INSTALLMENTS, each more expensive than the last, and has to be PROPERLY SUPERVISED because it’s so mind-blowing it could cause a stroke. But Scientologists would be there to help, since they are the ONLY ONES who can.
Markie says
“S C I E N T O L O G Y CANNOT BE STOPPED.”
As long as people like you and the Cruiser are its main evangelists, perhaps you’re right – we’ll be too busy laughing at you to notice you’ve taken over.
“Are you that clueless in your little meat bodies?”
Phrases like “meat bodies” make you sound a bit B-movie serial killer. I’m not laughing any more, now i’m just a bit scared.
Help!
Gilbert Wham says
Well, if enough of them are in one place, can some sort of fuel/air explosive pyrotechnics be arranged for them? Granted, some ordinary (and I use that term in its loosest sense) Floridians may be caught up in the carnage, but yo can’t make an omelette, etc…

When you first decide to be a Scientologist you really don’t know what you’re supposed to believe. It’s not until you’ve been a member for some time that you start seeing the truth. By then, you’re too deep and begin to defend every inconsistancy.
It’s sad really. It could actually help people with emotional problems. The church is hurts the tech with it’s craziness.
