Tom Cruise - whoooah

[SeanMacGabhann]

The video keeps appearing on new sites and getting taken down but it is worth tracking down if you can

quote:

"The video that was shown at the scientology award ceremony when Tom Cruise was presented with the IAS Freedom Medal of Valor in 2006 has shown up on-line, and although it's getting ripped down as fast as it's put up, you can see it here or download it here. If I had to describe it with one word, it would be oh-my-fucking-god. These people are nuts. At one point he says something to the effect of, "when a scientologist drives by an accident, we have to stop, because we know we're the only ones who can help". Um, or feel free to call 911. Because being trapped under a car and then seeing Tom Cruise run up is just about the most horrible mental image I've ever had. I would seriously just fake my own death at that point. "

Some highlights

Insane laughter at the end

Free use of terms like KSW and SP

The bit about how he can't go on holiday because "he knows"

Random, unexplained pauses that would put Shatner to shame

The concept that Tom Cruise has delivered "LOH technology" (Google draws a blank on this) to over 1 million people on earth

This is freaky

Horrible, horrible, the glazed look of those who know they are possessed of the only reality that others just don't get.

Have they got an apocalyptic streak yet? Most cults, whether 16th century anabaptists or Heaven's Gatists or whoever, end up with an apocalypse scenario once promises of revelation and/or salvation in ones lifetime don't come to pass.

Yeah yeah, the history books will be full of SPs in the chapter entitled 'post millennial loons'.

I think the LOH thing might refer to Operating Thetan*'s immunity to disease, cancer ageing et al, but don't quote me. Idiots.

Incidentally the top level is described thus

"A thetan who is completely rehabilitated and can do everything a thetan should do, such as move MEST and control others from a distance,"

Now, what could I be referring to? ;-)

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Keep Britain Tidy, I say - anyone want to join my cult? A snip at $2000.

[SeanMacGabhann]

actually I think instead of LOH, it might be LRH technology - L Ron Hubbard. It was just misheard on the video

[Jah Lush]

Absolutely bonkers. A dangerously influential zealot. Tom Cruise is certifiable.

[annaj]

Well said Jah.

I'm resisting the urge to say more, because I get uncharacteristically angry about scientology.

Gggggrrrrrrrrrrr.

[mockney piers]

You could be right there Sean, and you're definitely right there Jah.

The video is causing much amusement in our office at the moment.

[SeanMacGabhann]

well then, I'm glad I'm not in YOUR office when they come a-knocking

[char1ie]

I like the pseudo Mission Impossible music!

Charlie

[SeanMacGabhann]

indeed char1ie

took me a while to realise it was THEY who put the music on - not someone ripping the p***

[PeckhamRose]

Blankers.

My God!!!

You can imagine Katie Holmes when "signing an autograph" for someone actually writing "please help me, he's mad!!!"

[mockney piers]

LOL!!!

"No no, don't look at him, just call the police"

[mockney piers]

as usual, the daily mash disguise fact as satire

Puts me in mind of THIS (about 2.10 in) *Shudders*

This was on Channel 4 News last night, and it was pointed out that this video was made about 2 years ago before Katie and Baby. He's still a nutter though!

[cdonline]

To think, at one point that he was thinking about living in Dulwich.

Shudders

[SeanMacGabhann]

I thought they had actually bought a house in the Village - just never moved?

[SimonM]

>>I thought they had actually bought a house in the Village - just never moved<<

There were all kinds of rumours flying around as I recall. I thought though Ms Kidman merely rented that enormous place in Dulwich Village about 3 doors from the wine shop whilst she appeared in "The Blue Room"?

[Jah Lush]

I think you're probably right about the renting Simon. She was certainly seen in the Dog at around the time she appeared in the Blue Room.
