THESE are the THREE people in the marriage of Mission: Impossible star Tom Cruise — the actor, wife Katie Holmes and Scientology leader David Miscavige. Sources close to Cruise and Katie last night said their romance was doomed from the start because of the Hollywood hero’s intense friendship with Miscavige.

The pair are so close that Miscavige, 52, is mocked as Scientologist Cruise’s “manwife”.

He was the star’s best man when he wed actress Katie five years ago. And he has loomed large over their relationship ever since.

Katie is 'prepared to fight
Katie Holmes will do "whatever it takes" to win sole custody of her daughter Suri.

The 33-year-old actress filed for divorce from Tom Cruise on Friday (29 June) after five years of marriage and sources claim that she is determined to win custody so that she isn't forced into a "secondary role" in the six-year-old's life.

Sources say that Holmes has seen how Cruise's second wife, Nicole Kidman, has been edged out of the lives of her two adopted children with the Top Gun star – and Holmes refuses to go down the same road.

I agree with your sentiments there Koki. Unless something drastic is happening, it seems to be a slow death of everlasting agonies until someone decides to make the move to cut the cord.

in her life....something drastic IS HAPPENING ,last five years...

so there is 3 to be shocked,and 2 for finding a bridge to go out.....:wink2:

Career damage to Katie? I don't believe there was any. I think the marriage made her more famous and brought her more roles.

Not according to anything I've read. I just posted an excellent article on the Media thread.

http://www.forum.exscn.net/showthre...od-because-of-Scientology&p=699533#post699533

Excerpt:

A close friend of Holmes claims the ex-Dawson’s Creek star’s promising career had been “blacklisted” in recent years.

The friend pointed out how Holmes’ career had taken a downward spiral because Hollywood is terrified about the rise of Scientology, so much so that it has skewed the results of Oscar voting on more than one occasion. It’s fairly obvious that the Hollywood establishment don’t want to see a Scientologist win an Oscar for fear that it will just help them recruit more celebrities and everyday members. Can you imagine the speech that one of them might make to a billion viewers if they actually won?

“It’s no coincidence why Katie hasn’t been getting the roles she deserves,” the friend said.

“She wants to win Oscars but instead has been getting fluff roles. There’s a good reason why her husband has never won an Oscar. He was brilliant in Born on the Fourth of July and should have won. He was also denied for Jerry Maguire and Magnolia. Look at another Scientologist, John Travolta. He seemed like a shoo-in for Pulp Fiction but was also denied.”

Cruise’s second wife, Kidman, was a perfect example of this phenomenon. Her performance in To Die For was brilliant, for which many pundits considered her the odds-on favorite to win the Oscar. That was when she was still married to Cruise and she was a practicing Scientologist. She wasn’t even nominated. Then, a few years ago, only after she divorced Cruised and renounced Scientology, she won her Oscar for The Hours. That’s probably not a coincidence.

ok, but Katie and Oscars.....
it is a long way ,there baby......

P.S. first The Master must take one.....

 

[HelluvaHoax!]

And there you have it, HH (re your two last posts above) ... here's something about Scientology that Tom Cruise can absolutely, positively believe in: He is PTS to the max.

In fact, although he hasn't yet wrapped his car around a telephone pole, he's about as PTS as it's possible for a Scientologist to be. His dynamics are a complete mess.

I wonder who the SP is?

Tom bragged on his viral video that he doesn't hesitate to "...ruthlessly slam in his own ethics!"

Okay, let's see how that works, now that he has caused an enough entheta worldwide about Scientology this week to fill up seventy-five million DC-8s.

TOM
(thinking to himself)
Whoa! I really goofed the floof!
I must ruthlessly slam my own
ethics in! I'll do it! I'll handle it.
What am I doing that is out ethics?
Well there was that bellboy in the hotel
who wouldn't do my free pinch test. I should
have shattered him with PTS/SP tech, so that's
a pretty serious overt of omission. No, there's
gotta be something more for me to pull in
the highest ever number of entheta stories about
Scientology. I gotta confront this and handle the
hell out of it. What did I do, do, do? Well, there's
that thing where I refused to take off my Freedom
Medal of Valor during sex with Katie. No, wait, just
because she has low havingness it doesn't mean
I have to go into agreement with it. What could my
out ethics be then? Wait, I'm picking something up...
OMG, being out ethics is a wrong indication! LOLOLOL
Man I really slammed ethics in on myself this time.
God I feel great!

Has Katie said ANYWHERE that she is leaving Scientology? Or have we, and every tabloid on the planet just jumped to the obvious conclusion?

What if Katie is perfectly happy to remain in Scientology, she just couldn't hack being with Tom anymore?

The biggest reason it's probably true isn't anything she said. It's what she DID.

Firing all of her existing staff that had connections with Cruise? Hiring six new bodyguards? Secretly renting an apartment and moving out?

Biggest indicator of all is how she is going about the divorce. Her lawyer is obviously a shark. From what I've read about him, he's famous for bringing these divorce battles into the media. He may very well be responsible for many of these articles which target Scientology as the cause of her leaving.

This "take-no-prisoners" approach for divorcing Tom Cruise? This would not be allowed if she was still in Scientology. Somehow they would make this go away - or make HER go away. She would never for one second be allowed to do any of this.

(excerpt)

Holmes’s strategy in retaining Mayefsky, known for demanding half of the proceeds in divorces, is a sure sign, according to Lisa Bloom, legal analyst and author of the parenting primer, Swagger, that Holmes is ready to play hardball.

“Holmes’s choice of a lawyer who’s known to air grievances to the media signifies what her strategy might be,” said Bloom. “She’s making it clear she’s going to play tough. Cruise is more of a high-profile celebrity than she is, so he has a greater distance to fall if grievances are aired. Everyone has dirty laundry they don’t want aired. She’s saying play fair with me or else … Of course she would choose an experienced and tough lawyer. But the fact that she’d choose someone who’s been known to go to media in the past signals that she might have hired him for that reason.”

High-powered divorce lawyer Stephanie Blum says Holmes may have picked Mayefsky “because she wanted to control the spin.”

I hope the cult dusts off Tommy Davis and sends him out to handle the PR for this one

Unfortunately, if Jessica is still technically an SO member, she could take the fall for this, dying or not.

She will be targeted for missing withholds on Katie.

 

[TG1]

But because Jessica is sick, that means she's "only" PTS.

So whoooooooooooo's the SP?

It was first night's rights being exercised by Rex Miscavagous. Mimsey

Prima Nochta? As in that Mel Gibson movie ... what was it, Braveheart ... interesting. At least the Scottish commoners didn't gleefully CONSENT to it. That is rough ... sloppy seconds on a honeymoon. Sheesh. Poor TopGun Tommy.

You provoke an interesting thought. . .

Can you even imagine how much Tom Cruise wishes that Scientology is really true?

Surrounded and besieged from every side by an avalanche of whistle blowing on Scientology's, Hubbard's and COB's crimes, barbarism, terrorism and insanity--he still wishes that "The Bridge" is real.

He wishes that all the terrible entheta about Scientology, Ron, Dave and himself would just go away.

He wishes so so sooooo hard.

For a cult member in his untenable predicament, the only real tech to keep his head above water is "wishing". Scientologists call it tone 40 postulating. Wogs call it fervent prayer.

His biggest wish is that he doesn't wake up from his daydreams where he is an OT winning on all dynamics.

I wouldn't call it prayer or even making a postulate. I would call it being in denial. Prayers have known to work for sure. Postulates work as well. I could give you my own personal tech on that ... the emotional tone at the time of making the posulate tends to be the tone that the postulate comes back at you with, therefore don't decide important shit when you are seriously pissed off. Also, postulates aren't postulates if they are not released. If there is effort attached there was no release. Puting one out that works tends to be an exercise in removing attention from what you put out. But I doubt that Scientology concerns itself with that, which was the old oatee material way back when, now it is all about bux and beetees.

Katie Holmes: How She Planned Her Split from Tom Cruise

By Michelle Tauber

Wednesday July 04, 2012 08:15 AM EDT


Katie Holmes's decision to leave Tom Cruise may have seemed sudden, but it involved meticulous planning.

And no one was more shocked than Cruise himself.

"She was talking to Tom on the phone up until last week saying, 'I love you,' " a source tells PEOPLE of the actress.

"Her inner circle has been planning this and switching out cell phones since she was in China [in mid-June]," adds the source. "When new cell phones arrived, then nobody could reach her. Her old best friends from last week don't have her new number, no email. She's unreachable."

New revision to the ethics policies just out (found in LRH advices previously suppressed by the cleaning lady):

'It is a suppressive act to read bad press relating to Tom Cruise, [STRIKE]his wife[/STRIKE] COB or his former wife(s).'

'It is a suppressive act to [STRIKE]enjoy[/STRIKE] read such articles and tell other scilons about them'

I, meanwhile, am thinking that she learned some workable tech while she was in after all - how to utterly destroy one's enemies through litigation.

Moreover, Tom, Tommy, and Davey refuse to engage her in the media. Cat got their tongue? Or maybe they're worried about lead poisoning from all the footbullets.....

This flap just keeps on giving in a way the Debbie Cook flap never could.

The startling similarity of this scenario and that of a battered wife fleeing an abusive husband is not lost on millions of people.

What a train wreck. For Cruise and COS.

Speaking of which, it occurred to me that Katie might know about Shelley's fate. That would be a fucking disaster for the cult.....

Looks like they are OT in Footbulletology?? Well worth clicking...

"However, the best part about this flub by the tabs is that it elicited a response from the church itself. Scientology huffed and puffed, saying that Suri isn't eligible for the Sea Org because the church doesn't take anyone for the hardcore, elite unit under the age of 16.

Wow, is that a big fat lie.

How do we know that? Well, just take a look at this promotional flier that the church itself mails out..."
