According to statements in May 2010 from former high-ranking member of the Church of Scientology, Mark Rathbun, who served as Inspector General of the Religious Technology Center from 1978 to 2004, Scientology leader David Miscavige ordered that Cruise's Auditing sessions be secretly videotaped.[94][95][96] Rathbun had himself been the individual responsible for performing auditing counseling with Cruise. Rathbun wrote on his blog that he had been tasked with auditing Cruise during the period in 2001 directly after he had separated from Nicole Kidman. Rathbun wrote, "I audited a number of intensives of confessionals on Tom Cruise from July through November 2001. ... By order of Miscavige many of those sessions were secretly recorded by a well-concealed video camera and voice recorder system built into the VIP auditing room at Celebrity Center International." Rathbun subsequently learned that transcripts of the videotapes of Cruise were brought to meetings where they would be discussed by top management of Scientology. Rathbun wrote that Miscavige would read out information from the reports about Cruise's auditing sessions, "While sipping scotch whiskey at the end of the night, Miscavige would read Tom’s overts and withholds ... joking and laughing about the content of Tom’s confessions."

The nature of what was discussed in the confessional sessions by Cruise was not revealed. Rathbun ceased the filming of Cruise in 2002, because he felt it was unethical.[96] Rathbun left the organization in 2004, and since then has given counselling to former members of Scientology. In a post on his blog, Rathbun wrote a statement addressed to Cruise, "Wake up, Tom. It is not too late. Though, time is getting very, very short."[94][95] As of May 9, 2010 representatives for Cruise had not yet responded to the statements made by Rathbun.

The Editor-in-Chief of The Village Voice described the statements by Rathbun about the use of Cruise's confessional files as "some of the most damning statements against his former employer." Lynn Hayes of Beliefnet discussed the revelations by Rathbun, writing, "Religion in any form provides a solid structure that can offer comfort and security, and departure from that security can be frightening and painful. As humans we always have a choice, and it will be interesting to see how Tom Cruise and the Church of Scientology manage this revelation." El Tiempo commented, "Although Tom Cruise is a staunch supporter and defender of Scientology, apparently other members of this doctrine do not profess the same devotion to the actor."

Damn, when will people wake up and realize this is nothing more then a cult. It resembles Jonestown, Branch Dividians, Heavens Gate and other dangerous cults. Some of the articles i've read about what this so called church does to it's members is criminal. Not to mention the crap they do to people who leave is criminal.

It will be interesting to see if this is a wake up call to Tom Cruise. He has enough money and clout to make them miserable, and to turn the so called Religion upside down.

I think scientology and Jehovah witness are the 2 most dangerous cults on the planet. With Scientology being 1st.

I also read that after he was booted from the military, in 1947 he wrote the Veteran's Affairs office and asked for psyciatric help and was denied. This maybe the basis for their hatred of psycologists.

No doubt. Scientology does more damage then all the other cults put together though. Then they target celebrities to bring the people in.

Among the most well-known celebrity Scientologists are John Travolta, Juliette Lewis, Kirstie Alley, Catherine Bell, Nancy Cartwright, Beck, Jason Lee, Edgar Winter, Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Anne Archer, Lisa Marie Presley, and opera singer Julia Migenes. The January 14, 2008, issue of The New Yorker magazine included a feature by Dana Goodyear, "Château Scientology," on the topic of Scientology and Hollywood celebrities.

The celebs are just the sparkly bait.

you left out chef on southpark...

And really! what I dont understand is, if you read thier dogma, its nonsensical blathering rubbish!! You have to completely suspend any common sense you have to fathom it. Goodness!!

i think we could have been started by aliens...maybe...it's not impossible... i think...but tom cruise would know best...probably not...

Goodness have you ever tried to read through any of it?? what a mind F*&%^

Ive read the 'creed' and it doesnt seem like anything excessive to me

but every group has its fanatics,,,

just what i saw on southpark tom cruise ran into kyle's closet and wouldn't come out. kyle kept tell tom to get out of the closet, but he wouldn't. thats why the guy that plays chef quit

I have read A LOT about them and their front orginazations. Go into wikipedia and look up "Fair Game", pretty crazy stuff.

Oh and I forgot to mention Operation Snow White, which was one of the biggest security breaches in US history and made Hubbard a fugitive until the day he died and his wife did time in a federal prison along with 19 other high ranking Scientologists.

Never watched an episode of South Park in my life. Only saw the episode of the Slim Shady Show where they went to South Park and killed Kenney.

Still no word from Cruise. I would be ****ing pissed if I were him.

Still nothing............

He may be busy making a living and taking care of his family,,,,

Yea, but this is some serious allegations.

Nah, tho~ all religions are dangerous I think the Christian's win number one here...I mean Hitler was a Christian and he killed 6 million Jews in a war he started with the Christian's support that ended up killing 50 to 70 million people...

Tom Cruise? Who cares?

Who cares? I care. He has enough clout and money to bring down Scientology if he left it. It would be awesome.
