Cults are a truly fascinating thing, watching intelligent people give their
whole lives up to a " higher" power only to have their lives poached and
hawked. Watching Tom Cruise this week on a highly unauthorized video
spouting and posing about the superiority of Scientologists was one of the
most uncomfortable things I've made myself sit through since the
Newfoundlander lost all that money on The Price Is Right. Remember when
instead of walking away with the pile of cash, he went one more time and
grossly overbid and there was nothing we could do but watch the Swiss
mountaineer fall silently like a stone over the side of the fake hill? It
still gives me the creeps, but not half as much as Cruise. I can only
imagine what poor old Kate's (sorry I'd say Katie but Cruise has an
injunction) parents were thinking when they watched their once vibrant and
bubbly darling daughter mumble and fumble over sect scripted dialogue,
squeezing the words out through the mere half a centimetre she could still
open her mouth (another bad side effect of a lobotomy) on Letterman the
other night. I wouldn't be surprised if Scientology has a whole control
room full of people who are waiting to pounce on innocent column writers
like myself who upon flagging key words like crazy and Tom Cruise will mark
me as an SP and vow to oppress the suppression right out of me. Actually I
am a little freaked out right now, maybe I shouldn't send this and just
press delete, delete, delete. Stranger things have happened in this world,
if they can find a way to keep a grown woman who also happens to be an Oscar
winning actress from seeing her two children after keeping her in flat shoes
for ten years , they can find a way to assault me with propaganda. Maybe
it's them who's been calling my unlisted number offering me free this, free
that? Maybe they've gotten a hold of the little boy who keeps coming to my
door to shovel when there is no snow- anything to make me crazy. I bet it's
also them that's making the letter M on my keypad stick.
Even more disturbing is that I just went to their website and it froze my
computer, the homepage just sat there pulsing and buzzing, asking me if I
was having trouble with anxiety, depression , marriage. So I'm jumping out
of the plane and pressing send ,then trading in my computer and IP address,
ten years is just too long to go without heels.
