 Scientologists consider Tom Cruise to be a ‘deity’

By Emily Smith

March 27, 2019 | 9:37pm

Tom Cruise and his daughter Isabella Cruise continue to move up in Scientology, both taking more powerful positions in the secretive church — where the lower ranks are apparently ordered to see the actor’s movies multiple times.

Cruise is said to be “considered a deity within Scientology.” Former church member Leah Remini has said, “He is second to David Miscavige — the savior of the free world.” Cruise was seen March 9 at the front of a celebration of the holiest day of the Scientology calendar — L. Ron Hubbard’s March 13 birthday — at the church’s spiritual mecca in Clearwater, Fla., according to journalist Tony Ortega’s blog the Underground Bunker.

It was just reported that lower-ranking Scientologists are bused out to see Cruise movies, often multiple times, by their leaders, who buy thousands of tickets for his “Mission: Impossible” and “Jack Reacher” franchises to boost the actor’s box office. Ex-Scientologist Bree Mood — who left the church a few months ago — said in an interview: “Tom Cruise was a god in the lower ranks . . . every time a Tom Cruise movie came out they’d buy all his tickets. It could be 500, 1,000, up to 2,500 people. I’m not kidding.”

Consider that Tom Cruise cacting career, could pursue a post acting career, as a prophet, with buildings, statues, books, music, and of course fundraising.

Scientology has turned into a massive joke and they HAVE to know. There is no way they can completely take this stuff seriously.

People are made into Deities by the people after them. It almost never happens in real time, mostly due to the underlying possibility that they could die or leave the cult. There is only so far that you can push the cult. What kills cults is information. People leave them when they start investigating whether what the cult is telling them is true.

Come out of the closet, Tom Cruise.

He probably was seen in Clearwater for LRH's birthday because he's moved there.

Leah Remini's show telling the truth about Scientology (Scientology: The Aftermath) hasn't aired lately, but whenever A&E gets around to scheduling it, I'll let you know. Meanwhile, the Aftermath Foundation is doing good work providing "resources, support & advocacy to those who leave Scientology & the Sea Organization and need help getting on their feet in the outside world." https://twitter.com/AftermathFdn

Of course Scientologists consider Cruise a deity - he's worth 550 million.

The cult leaders only consider Tom Criuse's money to be a deity.

Bentley-driving, sword-wielding man killed by police officers in Scientology org
By Tony Ortega | March 27, 2019

This story is getting stranger by the minute. We just saw Dave Lopez reporting for KCBS Channel 2, who said that the sword-wielding man who was shot dead by police officers today at the Inglewood Scientology org had arrived in a white Bentley.

A white Bentley?

Naturally, when we first heard about the incident earlier this evening, we flashed back to the bizarre scene in November 2008 when Mario Majorski, 48, a disturbed man with a history in the Church of Scientology, showed up at the Hollywood Celebrity Centre wielding two samurai swords. When he moved to attack people at the facility, a security guard fired a single shot that killed Majorski.

Now, more than 10 years later, a man described as Asian and wearing a hoodie arrived in a white Bentley at the Scientology org in Inglewood, and was carrying a sword. Lopez also used the description “samurai” sword, but we haven’t confirmed that. Two police officers responded to the scene and shot the man in the head, and he died later on the way to the hospital.

What Lopez says is unclear is how the two police officers ended up with gunshot wounds, one to the hand and the other to the arm, when the dead suspect reportedly only carried a sword. Did the officers injure each other in crossfire?

Lopez said he checked with the org, and was told the security guard there was not armed, and could not have been the source of the gunshot wounds.  ...
