He seems a little "Hitler-like" in some of his narcissistic ways, & his over-certainty that he knows what he is talking about. He is frighteningly aggressive in his ways of reacting (like spinning head & puking pea soup scary). But, somehow Hitler was able to communicate sense out of nonsense. Cruise doesn't even attempt to do that! I BELIEVE because that takes a depth of thought that, if he ever even had, has been washed from his cognition.

[@RaeAnn_1202]

Your reaction to this video is hysterical. I remember seeing this and was a little confused. Now, thanks to you, I have much more clarity. Amazing and sad to realize we have watched Tom’s decline into brainwashing. I have not been able to stomach watching any of his movies for years because I could not separate him from Scientology, and the more I learn the more that is solidified.

[@Serai3]

Tom's babbling about superpowers reminds so much of an anecdote told about Aleister Crowley, the famous occultist. One day a writer sitting in a Paris cafe noticed a strange man in the corner dressed in weird pseudo-Middle Eastern garb with a big jeweled turban on his head. He asked a waiter who that odd man was, and the waiter answered, "Oh, that's just Mr. Crowley being invisible."

[@googlespynetwork]

Funny you mention that, because L.Ron Hubbard was involved with Jack Parsons and Alister Crowley. He was as lso involved in Satanic rituals.

[@plexibreath]

What gets me is that Elizebeth Moss is a Scientologist. That she plays the lead role in a television series about a cult like dystopia (Handmaid's Tale) make me wonder if she sees the craziness of her own cult.

[@Obsidian.Angel.1]

I could never watch The Handmaids Tale tv series (read the books) for the simple reason that Elizabeth Moss looks too much like Irma Grese (the beast of Belsen) to me. The fact that she is also a Scientologist is…..interesting. Do Scientologist believe in reincarnation? Genuine question.

[@sandrasanders706]

Pretty Ironic

[@grfxlot09]

I don't watch Handmaid's Tale, but I have respect for Ms Moss as an actress. Going from West Wing to Mad Men to HT, she has been involved in some great series. Is that because of her talent, is it from Scientology, or is it just luck.

Imagine Tom stopping at a car accident and trying to tell someone that’s bleeding and injured to stare at a tree or flower to help their wound. Most humans will stop Tom and help but we know that looking at something isn’t gonna stop their pain. We’re gonna try to help stop the bleeding and help keep their neck stable in case they have a spinal Injury. The way he acted about mental illness isn’t real I couldn’t imagine someone like him trying to help anyone in need.

[@plop1428]

He has helped someone in a hit and run. He phoned an ambulance and paid her medical bills. I think in this video he is trying to say it is everyone's responsibility to stop and help, (and Scientologists specifically should do this?). Probably in reference to by-stander effect type situation. Not that he thought he was the only person who could help. However he tends to ramble in most of his interviews and it becomes confusing as to what he is trying to say. He's openly stated that he doesn't disagree with drugs, just psychiatric drugs. Considering doctors tried to medicate him for dyslexia as a child I can see how he became disillusioned. Plus he never denied the existence of mental illness. He said the opposite repeatedly. He just claimed the current theory (chemical imbalance) regarding the cause for mental was not accurate. I certainly don't agree with his views on psychiatry and don't think it is his place to speak publicly as he is an actor not a medical professional, but people take things wildly out of context when it comes to celebs.

[@DrSchredder]

Scientology is not just a cult, it's fiction of the most dangerous kind. I was very young when he founded Scientology and gravitated to it when I became a teenager. I saw the fiction-ness back then but I can see where people would be drawn in by it's "spirituality". Kudos to those who finally woke up and got out.

I heard that Paul Haggis made a joke about Scientology keeping the crazy people in a closet. That supposedly created a lot of trouble for Paul and caused him to leave. Anyway it was told that Kate Capshaw took offense to Tom’s badgering and that caused him to try and undermine Kate and Steve’s marriage, even going so far as to bring women in to seduce Steve. In end Steven said he would never work with Tom again. Tom sent expensive gifts to them for Christmas and they were returned unopened.

A small group of people come in, say about 4 of them, the woman comes to me (Im security) and says "We are here to buy up as much Halloween supplies as we can for our up coming party" So I ask her where the party will be and she says a place i know only too well. So She volunteers "Yes, its going to be amazing, theres going to be three thousand of us going" THREE THOUSAND Scientology people going to this party!! I supressed a laugh, i just caught myself. She was so deadpan serious that she actually believed that 3 thousand people would be going to this big party. "Sure Luv, sure" As i said, i know the place they are having this supposed party, its a community centre/ sports hall and has no where near the capability to hold a party of more then 200 let alone three thousand. Delusional or what. Anyway, i find out later that there where only the people involved in Scientology at this party, i think it was about 13 people. I think they spent like 3 gs for this party.

[@SnowmanTF2]

​@@Lisa44837 That does not sound like it is actually an official track from the soundtrack, it likely is an in house performance by their internal media productions, so from the start would be off the hook for the most expensive fees. Plus with it sounding so bland is it probably is their own arrangement to fit the time, so may not even need to pay the much lower costs for using an existing score, if one even exists. I am not familiar with music licensing below that level, so there might be something for derived works but even then that is probably a low enough amount that it would not be worth it to anyone to spend the legal fees to collect on it if they did not pay the rights owners of the score. Plus with it being an internal video to a relatively small audience pre social media, it probably would not have been noticed by the rights holders till several years later, quite plausibly beyond any statute of limitations.

Did you go, here; there," etc, and then they get all non-descript, and just start throwing out adjectives, like, "Yeah. it was awesome!"

[@Juwlz]

The car crash stopping part, I have a explanation. When I fell down the scientology rabbithole, I took one of their free online courses and it was about health and healing. What I found in this course was a suggestion so insane that if a scientologist actually tried this in real life, they could go to jail. It was talking about different types of assists. The text said that if a scientologist drives past a car crash, they should pull over to help. It said if there is a crowd, to push yourself to the injured party, even if that means getting first responders and cops to step aside. It says to act like you are in charge, and the people on scene will see you as in charge and will "part" to let you through. It then goes through the technical aspects of the touch assist you should do and it says to not bother EXPLAINING OR ASKING CONSENT from the victim, that this is basically a waste of precious time, to just start administering the assist. To be fair it does say if the person is bleeding out, that you should allow the first responders to handle that first. BUT..... They are literally telling people to behave like they are in charge, even to authorities, to make your way to the victim, and to start touching them without their consent. In reality if you tried this, your going to jail. I found this gem years ago and still have the protocol screenshots on my phone😂
