I just googled 'Scientology' in the news to find out:
The ex-Spice girl won't become a Scientologist. Ok, shrug, so what? Does this mean people can be friends with Scientologists without becoming a member of the church? I think it does - at least that is my experience. Most of the people I know are not the same religion.
Tom Cruise is/is not the Scientology Christ. Anyone reading the original story that said: someone who knows Tom Cruise said that someone high in the Scientology church made this statement. Does anyone else notice the utter lack of source for this comment? Someone said that someone said.... So anyway, no, he is not - there is no equivalent of Christ in this church.
Jennifer Lopez's dad has been a Scientologist for 20 years. Who knew? So does this mean you can have relatives who are Scientologists and not be forced to be a Scientologist? Why, yes, I do believe here is one example of that possibility.
I don't understand why some people have their panties in such a wad about what we do, think, believe, practice. Don't these people have lives of their own to fiddle with?
