    I'm glad Katie is keeping their daughter from being dragged into Scientology.

    Everyone is saying why was she with him for 5 years , it tooks her 5 years to figure this out? Well if you ask me she was SMART! The prenuptial agreement said she had to be with him for at least 5 years to reap the benefits. YAY Katie! She's set for life. I doubt she'll get SOLE custody though. Tom cruise used to be so hot to me until he became a weird... smh!

    He's a nut and I can't stand him. I do actually have two movies he was in, but in neither one was he the main character. Reportedly Nicole Kidman also divorced him due to Scientology and I don't believe she was one.

    I get why Scientology freaks people out, but aren't most religions cult-like to varying degrees? And don't they all have creation myths that are ridiculous if you interpret them literally? Does Scientology just have worse press or a higher degree of brainwashing or something?

    Scientology is more of a criminal organization than a religion. This article is about 20 years old, but it gives a good description.

    Scientology freaks me out. First off it's a "religion" basically started to sell books by a failed science fiction author. Why many celebs believe in it I don't know.

    The worst part is that the late Lt. Hubbard himself admitted that is all BS.

    L. Ron Hubbard wrote Dianetics and created Scientology on either a bet or a dare.

    I'd guess drugs, but I think Scientologists are against drugs (though I think Cruise needs drugs). Has everyone seen the South Park Scientology episode? hilarious. Incidentally, years ago I met Isaac Hayes who was a Scientologist and why a smart guy like him believed in the silly things I will never know.

    Actually he filed for divorce from nicole. I saw many interviews with her were she was very surprised by it. There was some prenup with them were if they were married 7 years she would get so much but he filed just short of that and screwed her. Ha ha kinda like what's happening to him now ( everyone says he didn't suspect this and katie and suri were the world to him. Karma's a bitch!

    Nicole Kidman's career is doing much better now than it did while married (she won an Oscar after her divorce). I did read though that since she is Catholic she wanted their kids to be Catholic instead of Scientology. No idea how true that is, but makes sense to me.

    I always liked Katie and Tom, I dont care for Scientology even though I am not againist it, I think Tom Cruise is hot!

    I dont know why people agrue about scientonlogy because its modern for a reglion. What about Christians, Catholics, Islam, Muslims, Judaism.. etc they are old religions and soceity knows of them, and accepts that other people chose to be either. But when its a modern or something remotely new people seem to freak out and jugde. Religions change, form and new ones are created. Im sure scientology wont be the last one.

    I think a person should strongly consider their partner's religion BEFORE marriage and children are in the picture. I can empathize with Katie though. I married a pastor's son and he was so emphatic and manipulative with his religion. I was young and stupid, so my current viewpoint comes from the lesson I had to learn the hard way.

    Eta: We ended up divorcing.

    The problem with scientology isn't that it's modern or new. The problem is the harm scientology has caused to so many people. Did you read the article I linked to? If you want to know why people condemn scientology, please read it. Here it is again:

    Here's some more well researched and corroborated information on the folks running the "church". It is a cult like the "Moonies". It's about money, control, isolation, and profiting from slave labor of children and adults. May have needed local police to get away and shake the tails that follow and try to re-educate those who flee. Tom lives surrounded by these people. They are on his house staff, hand picked by church leaders. It's an unhealthy situation for everybody. I don't blame her for fleeing.

    From Optimist's link:
    http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/new...ntology-344687

    The niece of the head of scientology, who left in 2005 said:

    "My experience in growing up in Scientology is that it is both mentally and at times physically abusive," Jenna said. "I was allowed to see my parents only once a week at best -- sometimes not for years. We got a lousy education from unqualified teachers, forced labor, long hours, forced confessions, being held in rooms, not to mention the mental anguish of trying to figure out all of the conflicting information they force upon you as a young child. ... As a mother myself, I offer my support to Katie and wish for her all the strength she will need to do what is best for her and her daughter."

    Katie doesn't want to put her daughter through the same thing.

    Well, lucky for Katie it's a wrap. She must've had something juicy on him- others are saying the movie studios don't want any Tom slander in the media with his upcoming movies on the line. A settlement was reached, and that is that. She got custody and he got generous visitation. Suri will be attending a private school in NYC.

    That's a big win for Katie. I wonder if she had this planned all along, or was she head over heels for him but as she got deeper into his world changed her mind?

    They're saying she consulted with Nicole before pulling the plug. She probably warned her that he's not gonna change. Just get out now!
