So... people are commending and praising Tom Cruise now while he should have stuck with his daughter from the beginning? Sure, better late than never, but it still won't bring back the times he lost with her.
Yes correct. Scientology had deep roots everywhere and dirt on all kinds of people. Think of them like a real life Hydra.

I'll believe it when I see it
Yeah, children never do anything strange unless they are famous and/or crazy. He's gone for life.
-_-
Not buying this for a second. Believe it when I see Cruise himself saying he's not a scientologist anymore.
They labeled Kidman a sp. Heard she hasn't seen her kids that she adopted with Cruise (who are also scientologists) in years.

Tom, if you do this I pledge to see all your future movies in the theater.

That would be awesome. I really like him as an actor, but dislike him as a human being for being part of and champion of this horrible cult. Hope he completely turns on it and exposes it. Not all that likely I guess, but one can dream.

That said, I've always loved Cruise, even in his crazy days. Fucking awesome actor and listening to his more candid interviews the guy is a massive, knowledgeable film geek. Not like pop culture/memey time shit, but actual film history, having seen thousands of films. Would love to rap with him about movies someday as long as I didn't mention my psychologist.

Except he wasn't king, more like figurehead...
Attaboy Tom. Leave that poisonous cult.
On a side note I'd love for him to star as L.Ron Hubbard for a biopic in the future.
Ahaha, that would be amazing.

I can't see it happening.
It would probably be a death blow to the church, so I hope it's true, but I doubt it.

I wonder how much courage it took Tom Cruise to do this? It seems like a very risky thing to leave the church of Scientology if you are a high profile member.
Make money.

If Tom does leave Scientology for his daughter that would be awesome and he would get my respect for life.
They convince members to cut anyone who isn't part of the church out of their lives, so basically they cut them off from any sane and reasonable person, thus trapping them into the church forever.

I think a combination of two things:
A) Scientology actively try to recruit high-profile people for obvious reasons.
B) and, well...let's just say acting relies largely on your looks and charisma, and not so much on your intellectual prowess.
Scientology is 200% a cult. It's just a pyramid scheme thinly veiled as a church.
Yeah, and it works the other way around as well, in that if, say, a lot of your family and friends are members and you decide to leave they're not allowed to talk to you anymore.

He'd pretty much have to come out first, wouldn't he? Isn't that the main leverage the church has over him and Travolta?

All dat dirt.
It would be ironic if one of the alleged reasons he had Suri, hiding his homosexuality, ended up encouraging him to reveal it.
they won't risk to antagonize their poster boy, they wouldn't survive

Yeah, this is a good point. Making a public announcement like this is the best weapon that Cruise has against the Church of Scientology. Staying in the public eye will keep them off his back.

Have you seen the recent documentary about Scientology (forgot the name)? Scientology is just a huge scam. That 's exactly what they do.
There are a lot of reasons for him to leave. That church has destroyed lives and controls and extorts people. I really hope he does leave.

Oh man, it'd be a crazy crazy world if Katie Holmes ends up being a part in the catalyst for the downfall of Scientology.
If the Church of Scientology was smart, they'd try to sign some kind of mutual NDA where both Cruise and the church agree not talk about each other to anyone. Tom Cruise could potentially do some major harm to the church if he was out spoken about what Scientology is all about. I don't know what Scientology has on Tom, but if he leaves and goes from poster boy to most out spoken critic, could be really bad news for Scientology.
