Scientology Makes You Dress Funny, Case In Point: Katie Holmes
I don’t know what kind of magic kool-aid they’ve been giving Katie Holmes since being hooked up to the e-meter cans, but homegirl is looking BEAT-DOWN.
Katie’s metamorphosis from “hot girl next door” to “creepy Stepford-wife” is doing little to assuage the public’s concern that the Church of Scientology isn’t a mind-controlling, money-swindling alien-inspired cult. In fact, this transformation has pretty much cemented (in my mind anyway) that those inside the “church” are completely clueless to changes around them and are stuck in some kind of time-warp space machine designed by founder and bad sci-fi writer himself, L. Ron Hubbard.
Let’s put it this way, the only thing worth resurrecting from the 80’s is the music, NOT the fashion. (I bet if you look close, you will see some rolled jean action.)
Katie, may I suggest you get Graham Berry’s number on speed dial, pack light (leave those Guess jeans behind, PUHLEEEZE) grab little Suri and RUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNN, as fast as you can before Tom Cruise and the crazies suck every ounce of hot you once had right out of you.

Maybe she needs room for those body thetans?

The difference between Katie before the cult and after is startling. Nice to see her hands are no longer purple though.
$cientology=big fat global scam.

OH Come the fuck on, Dawn! (but I wouldn’t be surprised if Tom has requested that she dress this way to match the time in his life where his emotional maturity has become a quagmire. Oh say about 16, 17?) teeheeeteeheee

Dr. Lilly von Marcab has produced a wonderful piece detailing the cult’s claim to a Medal of Valor from the New York Fire Department.
Referenced with doucuments and photo evidence, this is a sterling piece.

They have her looking more like a dude everyday, won’t be too long before the sex-change rumors start flying.

These sideway attacks on the COS are getting extremely lame. Now you insist on talking about how someone dreeses, What in the world does that have to do with ANYTHING.
People say I am a thug because I wear certain clothes, it lets me know just how ignorant and steroetypical they are.
Never mind the fact that I have been a Scientologist for 6 years, show me the tech wrote by L.Ron Hubbard that explains a Non-Staff Scientologist dress code. (Hint: There Isnt One)

@ #9. Trouble
There doesn’t have to be a “dress code” if there’s a “thinking code”. The cult of Scientology so rigidly stamps out normal thinking processes that Scientologists lose their ability to distinguish good behavior from bad, legal actions from illegal, and fashion do’s from fashion don’ts.
Yes, a criticism of Kate’s clothes is petty, especially considering the abusive actions of the cult of Scientology toward citizens, critics, reporters, and even its own members.
Would you like to discuss “Fair Game,” instead, Trouble? How about the massive infiltration of the U.S. government known as “Operation Snow White,” and for which high-level Scientologist leaders were sentenced to and served prison terms? How about the dangerous practices of the Introspection Rundown, which killed Lisa McPherson years ago, and kidnapped/imprisoned Martine Boubil, very recently? How about the private investigators who are TODAY following those who participate in nonviolent protests of the “church”? How about the asbestos contamination aboard its cruise ship of death, the Freewinds, which Scientology covered up and exposed its members to?
If you’d like, Trouble, we can most certainly discuss more substantive matters. But I don’t think that’s what you really want, is it?

I’m not hear to defend Scientology in general, but I do think some of it’s critics are really reaching when they point to Katie Holmes as some sort of example of how bad it is. Blaming them for the state of her career & now for her appearance.
C’mon, let’s get real here. She was NEVER “hot!” Maybe some teenage boys (& pedophiles) thought she was hot when she was on Dawson’s Creek, but the best you could really say about her is that she was “cute.”
As for her acting career, it’s not like she was on the sure path to A-list stardom before she met Cruise. All of her films were bombs until she got her big break in Batman Begins, & pretty much everyone agrees she was the worst thing in that movie.
The truth is, even if she’d never met Cruise, she was the fast track to eventually starring in multiple Lifetime Original Movies &, if she’s lucky, perhaps a sitcom on CW or Fox sometime in the future.
@ least now, whether she stays married or gets divorced, she’s going to have money for the rest of her life (though she’ll probably have to give up custody if she gets divorced).

Actually I am looking at Katie as a measure of her health. As an actress, looking good is part of her ‘job’, so to speak. And when she stops looking good so quickly, you can tell something is going on.
Get a bunch of publicity photos and arrange them from before Tom, married to Tom, with Suri, after Suri, after Scientology treatment and now… and you can see she isn’t doing too well. The tired look of her face, the drawn look in her eyes. The discolouring in her skin.
These things are not normal for people who are rich and are paid to look good.
For instance it too a medical report on PUBMED before we realised that the diet proscribed by Scientology to children causes scurvy. This case was reported only because scurvy in children has been eliminated from the US for nearly a century
But what happens to the adults? What does a diet of Scientology do an adult? Nobody knows. Nobody has pictures of an individual over the course of time they were members of scientology. Lacking that info, Katie becomes the easiest member to watch. She was well watched before joining scientology, and through out her stay.

I have read a lot of magazines about the good change that Katie has after getting married with Tom Cruise.
Actually, in many places you can read that she was kind of “hippie”, looking like always as a teenager but after marriage, she is more like a fashion icone, also because of her friendship with Victoria BEckham, who is not scientologist at all. Anyway, anyone can change their point of view about dressing, about food, even about their religion as budhists, kabalah and even atheism!
As many other famous actresses, all have a bad day and looking tired or wearing a jean just shows that even movie stars are common human beings.

They are?

Those jeans are like, SOOOO out ethics. Like gag me with a spoon. Maybe she needs to run around a pole for a week as punishment. Welcome to batshit crazyland…aka scilontology.

I hate to say it, but all the people defending Scientology here are right. Instead of making fun of Katie’s style (or lack thereof as the case may be), we should draft a questionnaire, a test if you will, designed to magnify her (imagined) weaknesses by preying on her insecurities.
Then, once we’ve broken her down or, “found her ruin”-just as she’s spiralling down into a sea of self loathing and depression, we’ll toss her a lifeline. We’ll love bomb her. We’ll tell her that, despite what our test says, we think she’s swell and that we can help her overcome those weaknesses.
Now we’ve got her. Now we tell her that part of the reason she was a worthless bum when we found her is because she wore those hideous clothes. She’ll resist at first, but all that love we showed her will disappear the more she resists. And, besides, she wouldn’t want to reject the people that saw so much good in her at her “lowest point”.
So, she changes her clothes. She doesn’t want to, she wants to want to. So, she convinces herself that she feels better in these new clothes. Her friends and family aren’t convinced, though. And, when she’s around them it’s really uncomfortable because, deep down, she knows they’re right and they make it harder for her to lie to herself. Besides, where were they at her “lowest point”? They weren’t there, but we were. So, she stops hanging around them. She disconnects.
Now, she’s around people who constantly tell her that she looks stunning. It gets easier to convince herself that she feels better-in fact, she actually does feel better. She has more confidence, self esteem, etc. Weren’t these the things we told we could fix from the test? Wow. It worked.
Now, we can tell her anything. Now, we have control.
And she did it to herself.

All in all, in order to keep from returning to that “sad, pathetic” state they were in when Scientology found them, they have to perpetuate the lie. Anything else is uncomfortable. And, it doesn’t stop there. They have to lie to eachother (i.e. “Katie, you look great in your new clothes”) which, in turn, makes it easier for them to lie to themselves. It’s easier to convince yourself that you look good when other people are confirming it for you. This synergistic effect is what really keeps Scientology working.
The only way to control someone is to lie to them? I wonder if he included lying to yourself?

“The E-Meter Cans”. What a great name for a band.
Unless there is a huge intervention, Katie is lost, IMHO.
