With the Tom Cruise / Katie Homes divorce anaheim hilton hotel reportedly heading towards a settlement anaheim hilton hotel , thus denying the world the Scientology versus Holmes/Suri showdown the tabloid world has been dreaming of, it looks like Tom Cruise may have something else to occupy his mind in the coming months. It was back in May that reports first came out that the actor, anaheim hilton hotel who has seen Paul Thomas Anderson s it s-not-about-Scientology-but-it-kind-of-totally-is The Master , had issues with it. And it seems the problems he has with his Magnolia collaborator anaheim hilton hotel s movie aren t going away.
The New York Daily News reports that, specifically, Cruise s major issue with the movie is the suggestion that L. Ron Hubbard made the whole thing up about Xenu and thetans. No, really. According to the paper, one scene in the film shows Philip Seymour Hoffman s Lancaster anaheim hilton hotel Dodd (who is modelled on Hubbard) ruminating on The Cause, the religion he has founded, only for another character to claim he s inventing it as he goes along. Here s how the paper describes the sequence:
According to our insider, one scene that didn t sit well with Cruise takes place on a patio where Joaquin Phoenix, who plays Freddie anaheim hilton hotel Sutton, a troubled drifter who becomes Dodd s right-hand disciple, watches Dodd pontificate about the religion he has created.
And add that to the final scene of the second teaser anaheim hilton hotel of the film, where Freddie Sutton angrily exclaims, I know you re trying to calm me down, but just say something that s true! and it seems to indicate that Dodd is being established as an ambitious, if not entirely trustworthy individual.
Thus far The Church of Scientology has no comment on the movie as they haven t seen it, but it should be noted that according to famed defector Marty Rathburn , the religion s organizers are instructing members on how to crack down on rumors about them that are swirling around the TomKat divorce. And as the October 12th release date for The Master draws closer, anaheim hilton hotel and particularly as more details about the movie are revealed, we wonder how Scientology will react to the film officially, or otherwise. Guess we ll soon see.
What future does Scientology have to offer? Billions of years of reincarnations? You dont remember your past life and dont know about your future life, so whats the point? Jesus offers peace, mercy, forgiveness, grace and eternal life. (yes, John 3:16)
(Hebrews 4:13 Jeremiah 16:10) I pray Tom Cruise reaches out to Christ for his salvation before he one day slips out into all eternity to face an awesome, righteous, holy God. Jesus said, I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father but by Me. John 14:6
Since when do all the characters in a movie agree with one another anyway? Just because a character thinks Lancaster Dodd is inventing the religion as he goes doesn t mean the filmmakers are making any kind of definitive statement about the character... or the person he s (only loosely) based on.
Anyone who has posted here who is merely relying on sensationalized and falsified media reports anaheim hilton hotel and entertainment anaheim hilton hotel sites for their knowledge about Scientology should read the original works and only then can you pass intelligent judgement. Start by reading the policy letter, What Is Greatness by LRH. Found at: http: www.lronhubbard.org anaheim hilton hotel articles-and-essays what-is-greatness.html. Then you will know something about compassion, about love, about tolerance.
No one is buying anaheim hilton hotel your canned response. No one wants to read L Ron Hubbard s books and its not necessary to do so to understand why Scientology is controversial. Tell your handlers to come up with some new material.
its always laughable anaheim hilton hotel when cranks like you bomb the comments section of a website trying to divert us from the nonsense your faux religion bases its foundations on. all your handwringing does is make you look crazier, if thats possible.
This film can t be come coming out at a better time. With Tom Cruise with his divorce and Travolta with his sexual harrasment trial, it means they re both currently out of public favour. So two of the biggest celebrity Scientologists having overshadowing stories about them it means that other stories such as this may hopefully breeze past. We hope.
Usually, Scientology doesn t bother me and I pay no attention because it s too wacked out crazy to give energy to it. But, the reported abuses anaheim hilton hotel going at the direction of the leader David Miscavige is beyond frustrating. Particularly for children of Scientology on the SeaOrg and elsewhere. Don t child labor laws apply at sea? And where in the hell is that nutjobs wife, Shelly Miscavige? Hopefully, someone is watching them as closely as they monitor their members and do something to finally shut down this now known abusive cult.
I find Tom Cruise and Katie Homes breakup to be extremely relevant to The Master, because the underlying cause of the divorce is said to be the Church of Scientology s control they have on their members and every aspect of their lives. In fact, on Rock Center this week Brian Williams anaheim hilton hotel is going to be focusing on those who were able to get out of the church, as if it were the mob or something. If The Master does use the connection it has to the church I think it can drum up a lot more business by people who are skeptical of this church and what they represent.
