Tom Cruise and Scientology. Maybe he's smarter than you think. - GoFuckYourself.com

Anyone ever think that he may just own a huge portion of it? Maybe he just banks like crazy off it and gets other rich/foolish people to join and throw money at it.

Andiz · 11-21-2006, 09:17 PM

He's not that smart as far as I can see....he's just an idiot...

I've always thought they must use it as some sort of tax loop hole for the rich.. No way that many rich mofo's would be into space aliens for gods and take it serious.

If he's ACTUALLY bought into Scientology, then he IS an idiot.

studiocritic · 11-22-2006, 02:39 AM

one of the premises of scientology is that once you reach certain levels they reveal certain info to you.. and not to the people on the lower levels.

i always (and not really jokingly) suggested that maybe the info they reveal to you is something like "LOL, we raped you for a lot of money.. this is a biz, nothing more. but now you get revenue sharing." then at the next levels you're basically just buying more equity. almost like an MLM.

that would make scientology the most successful business in the history of the world. no one knows exactly what their assets are, but it's estimated they might control over $100B. think about that.

studiocritic · 11-22-2006, 02:40 AM

don't forget that the founder of scientology, hubbard, very early on openly stated that he filed for church status to get tax exemption. now all these idiots following it crack me up

marko13 · 11-22-2006, 02:45 AM

Well I think Cruise is more internationally well known
but yah that Gibson prob makes more cash then he
does . They are in the same league though

Doctor Dre · 11-22-2006, 03:29 AM

Scientology is mostly a networking thing...

I don't see Tom Cruise making tons of money from it... but Travolta must be making the bank.

I dunno about that. Tom Cruise movies are huge. Hell, he got a % of gross for all three mission impossibles. He also has a production company. He is easily one of the highest paid actors in hollywood and has been doing it for a long time and still does it. Mel Gibson has been out of the acting spotlight for a while now.

Not that Mel Gibson is a nobody. Passion and braveheart made a ton, but so did MI1/2/3. It's very hard to place exact values here, though I almost positive neither is a billionaire. The didn't makes forbes list. Spielberg and Lucas did, and I know Spielberg has WAAAAAAY more than cruise and gibson, and he was like 1.5 billion I think.

Wiggles · 11-22-2006, 05:09 AM

even if he banks off scientology his movie career is slowly dying from it, thats not smart business.

DaddyHalbucks · 11-22-2006, 07:43 AM

Mel Gibson made a bundle off "The Passion Of The Christ" --something like $500 million.

Tom Cruise would need quite a few $50 million dollar deals to reach that level.

Mikey_219Inc · 11-22-2006, 09:03 AM

Mel is mos def a bigger nutcase. i prefer a scientology wierdo possibly smart guy making loot, to a drunken australian jackass catholic who says his wife is going to hell.

and god bless south park for ridiculing the both of them

gotta love the south park mel gibson episode ha ha

scardog · 11-22-2006, 09:17 AM

Tom Cruise became sold on Scientology when he was able to overcome dyslexia using their teachings.

I think you'll find his movie career is slowly dying from age, rather than religion. There's only so long you can "realistically" play action/hero roles. When you look at any actor, the older they get the less "blockbuster" films they make. They start playing the older, character driven roles. I'm not sure Cruise has the talent to play character driven roles.

Your pretty close actually, many of the "levels" secrets have been posted and are outrageous bullcrap.. I think you hit the nail on the head, they are supposed to finally get to top level then they are told some bullshit story that amounts to " you got suckered , if you tell everyone you will be mocked as a fool who spent million to be told were all aliens "

wedouglas · 11-22-2006, 11:26 AM

I stand corrected. Mel is probably worth more than Cruise. Not sure by how much, but he probably is richer.

SCtyger · 11-22-2006, 11:32 AM

i'll take Travolta's wife over Cruise's anyday.
