Page Six is reporting Nicole Kidman’s wants her two children, Isabella and Connor, from her marriage to Tom Cruise, out of the Church of Scientology based on reports from undercover writer Ian Halperin:

JASON Beghe isn’t the only former Scientologist who wants nothing to do with the church. Nicole Kidman , a Catholic, has limited contact with her adopted kids by Tom Cruise, Isabella and Connor, who are deeply entrenched in Scientology. At the New York premiere of Ian Halperin’s film, “His Highness Hollywood,” a Scientology insider told Halperin that Kidman “wants her kids out of the church.” Halperin beat up on the faith in his book, “Hollywood Undercover,” and said he wasn’t surprised when, during the premiere, “the projector had been sabotaged.”

As Glosslip reported the day after the event Halperin’s film premiere was besieged with technical difficulties which resulted in 2 hours of lost time and the final film being scrapped and instead, showing an unready version to the impatient crowd.

Not surprisingly, Ian and the crew at the National Arts Club confirmed sabotage was the root cause of the malfunctions and there’s been open speculation the Church of Scientology may know something about it. Ian told Glosslip exclusively he has hired a private security firm and the harassment he’s endured since the release of the book has increased in recent days. Halperin stated he would be taking extra precautions, especially at future premieres.

For anyone who wants to downstat the Church, go buy Ian’s book. I’m reading it now, and I recommend it highly.

Mark Bunker I am not, but here’s my message to YouTube and the Church of Scientology.

Arnie Lerma, my first ex-Scientology crush has posted a vague, but intriguing tease on Operation Clambake. We don’t know what it is, just that is will annoy one tiny tyrant with breathing troubles.

I also borrowed that picture from the OCBM boards because it gave me great laughs.

BTW - For all you knuckleheads who are just picking up on the whole CoS thing, Clambake is a reference to L. Ron Hubbard’s claim we are all derived from clams, not some lesbian or Hampton’s reference. Please for the love of Hubbard, do some damn Googling and inform yourself.

Scientologist speaks about the Church of Scientology. I’d call this a foot-bullet. Or foot-grenade perhaps.

Ok, so I threw caution to the wind and decided to take one of these so-called personality tests and see what my results might be. I wasn’t sure what kind of results I would get after answering the 175 or so questions, I ended up getting the above graph. I gave false info on my test, as to my name and address, but I answered the questions to the best of my ability. I have NO intention of taking these results to the nearest Scientology office like the site suggested, but instead took a screenshot of my results and hope that someone in the internets can evaluate the results.

Why did I do this? Because on the Enturbulation.org forums I saw Tory Christman (Magoo as she is affectionately known) discuss the dangers of these tests, and I wanted to see what the results a person walking in off the streets might get. We see from the story on Kaja, that she had suffered from some form of mental instability, so therefore was vulnerable to the kind of data Tory mentions below. The rate of suicide within the Church of Scientology seems abnormally high, and this poor young woman didn’t even join, she was merely subjected to their personality test. Very suspicious.

Here’s Tory’s post borrowed from Enturb:

What a tragedy! OSA you can try to claim he doesn’t care, we don’t care…but nothing could be farther from the truth. You have been ‘Caving people in” with this stupid Personality Test Since you switched from how it used to be done.

It used to be done with a person who would read the results, talk with the person, still “push their buttons”—but in a manner that was tolerable, imnsho, more or less just getting them interested in either a course, or buying a book. Now? Even when I was “in” I told them I thought it was HORRIBLE: It’s a computer driven print out and they just READ:
JOE SHMO__________YOU ARE A HORRIBLE COMMUNICATOR>
NO ONE LIKES YOU>
YOU CAN’T GET ALONG IN ANY GROUPS.
YOU’RE A LOW RESPONSIBILITY PERSON
On the positive……..You like Animals.
You need help. THERE’S A CHANCE_______COURSE WILL HELP YOU.
(This is an example……..not exactly……..but now I remember it being.
Truly, it sucked, and I told them so, when I was “in”)

Anyways, Andreas is speaking with tons of news.
He wasn’t happy———this is seriously horrific that a young person
would take their own life, and Scientology—I have no words.

Thanks for the translations.

To the family……….my sympathy, my blessings to you all

Magoo~~~

If anyone knows how to read the results in the image above, I would be eternally grateful for an analysis, even from a qualified Scientologist.

A faction of Anonymous have identified a long-standing policy within the Church of Scientology which states that gays and gay lifestyles are “aberrations” and need to be eliminated out of the population — but in some cases, as in those with large sums of cash and a willingness to believe the teachings of the CoS, they have offered a cure to homosexuality.

This type of assertion is harmful not only to gays within the Church of Scientology, but to gays outside the Church. To assume you can “cure” a person of a genetically predisposed condition which manifests itself as a part of that person’s personality and essentially their whole “being” is disingenuous at best, and degrading at worst.

The Church can’t cure anyone of being “gay,” anymore than they can cure someone of being black, or having red hair, or big feet. Unless the Church of Scientology plans to genetically modify a person’s DNA with their superhuman mindpowers, such claims of cures are dubious and meant to defraud vulnerable people of their money.

Fortunately, as part of this awareness, this faction in Anonymous have created a public awareness campaign to inform those outside of the growing movement against Scientology of these bogus and insulting claims and beliefs:

Here’s the press release Glosslip received:

Dear Sir or Madam,

I would like to draw your attention to a recent claim that the Church of Scientology attempts to “cure” homosexual behaviour.

Canadian author Ian Halperin posed as a gay actor to research his new book. He describes one encounter with the Church of Scientology as follows:

“When I told them I was gay they told me that they could de-programme my homosexuality though a technique called auditing and that was one of the first times that they admitted on record that they could do that.”[1]

Mr Halperin’s story appears to be corroborated by the testimony of ex-Scientologists themselves. Recently, Kendra Wiseman, daughter of a prominent Scientologist, has related this story[2]:

“The first and last time I ever kissed a woman was at a private party. I kissed her in front of a [Scientology] member who went home and immediately wrote a full-length report on what she had seen, and sent it to my senior and my parents. I was disciplined for this at work, and cautioned against this behavior at home. And lemme tell ya, there’s nothing more embarrassing than your boss and your dad reading a full blow-by-blow of your one and only lesbian experience.”

On the other hand, gay Scientologist Keith Relkin speaking[3] in 2000 clearly contradicts both statements:

“… What’s more, Scientology has the most iron-clad, non-discriminatory policy I’ve ever come across regarding sexual orientation.”

Also of note is Michael Pattinson, who says the following[4] based on 24 years’ membership of the cult:

“Being gay, even when only in thought, is incompatible with being on staff, and also with being a Scientologist at all.”

There is clearly a controversy here but I have no doubt that ‘reparative therapy’ for LGBT people is harmful and discriminatory. I would therefore appreciate it if you could give this issue your attention.

Yours,

Anonymous

I encourage those openly gay gossip, celeb and entertainment news sites to help spread the word. Petition Perezhilton.com, Dlisted.com, Queerty.com, and definitely Gawker.com, because they are the gayest of all sites, minus the great hair, cool clothes and innate sense of taste.

This is just ONE of many spurious claims the Church of Scientology has made which has destroyed lives. How many more are we going to allow?

Ashlee and Pete, Parents To Be, Morons

No, I am NOT happy for these two idiots.

Ashlee Simpson, best known for being Jessica’s little sister, lip-syncing and screwing up on SNL, having her face transformed by plastic surgery and dating androgynous bassist for the overrated pop-punk band, Fall Out Boy, is not only engaged, but also with child.

Us Magazine is cheerfully reporting the happy news.

Ashlee Simpson is pregnant, a source confirmed to Usmagazine.com.

The singer, 23, is expecting her first child with fiancé Pete Wentz, 28.

Simpson and the Fall Out Boy frontman announced their engagement Wednesday.

“We are thrilled to confirm their engagement and congratulate this happy couple,” a spokesperson for the couple told Us. “Beyond that there is nothing to say.”

Simpson’s rep had no comment.

Have these people never heard of birth control?

Oh goody. This makes my scrapbook complete. There are no unmarried un-pregnant attention-whores left in Hollywood. Oh by the way Us Magazine, Pete Wentz isn’t the frontman he’s the bassist, that would be the “singer” Patrick Stump. Just because Pete writes their lame lyrics, wears eyeliner, dates goobers and act like a knob, does not a frontman make. Not trying to be picky, just pointing out the obvious. Not that it matters, they suck either way.

Don’t taz me tweeners, I listen to old people music.

A tipster sent me this video, and there’s nothing I love more than video of Scientologists being weird, paranoid and creepy. I like this kid, he’s got panache!

Just for fun and for insight into how a “religion” responds to criticism. Classic CoS intimidation tactics.

I wonder if the Pope visits the homes of Catholics to investigate if their rosary beads are in order? Hmmm……..
