Apparently, it’s almost as hard to get one’s children or oneself out of Scientology as it is to leave the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints Church.

Good for her I hope with all my heart that she wins her battle. There is only one way and that way is with the Faith of Jesus Christ. I will send up my prayer for her and her children.

I am concerned that Nicole has waited too long to salvage her children
as the religion Tom embraces appears to me mind control to a large extent. I believe Tom made that decision as to the religious teachings he now embraces long ago and am of the opinion that religion is pretty much mind control over one’s life; the church teaching that Scientology is the center of a member’s life. In many ways, I think Tom thinks he is doing the right thing….but one’s religion should be a personal choice….not mandatory. And that personal choice should be when the individual is mature enough to explore the teaching of more than one faith. With Tom’s fortune, he can buy anything he desires…also his pull in Hollywood.
Nichole, my prayers are with you; hopefully you can get your kids back in your life; you both deserve that. She appears to be a very quiet and caring lady.

I agree, religion should definitely be a choice. My son went to sunday school and church (mandatory) with my husband and I until he turned 18, and was entering college. Fortunately for us, he chose to continue our chosen religion. He knew he was free to choose himself, but he stuck with the one he was raised to believe in.

I can relate to Nicole and have suffered from my own Ex’s Self absorbed wishes as far as my own kids go. I like Nicole keep my chin up and my prayers to God . As she too has, I found the man of my dreams. I married UP as did she. It only to goes to show give a person with selfish tendencies his /Her own way sooner or later they too have to answer not just to God but to their own kids. Especially when they look them in the eyes and ask why Dad kept them away. God does have a way of tapping them on their shoulders. and Hopefully opening their eyes and if possible their hearts. God Bless Nicole and Keith’s baby and Marriage , I am certain in time it will come to make sense to both her children and her ex. As for his trying to decide their religion that is not just his decision, it is Nicole’s. They can both give apart of their religious faith to them, yet it is for Connor and Isabella to decide the path not a man who thinks he is God.

I believe tom Cruise is a very controlling person, if he doesn’t get his way, he will still find a way to get what he wants. His second wife is now divorcing him …. Does that give us a clue how impossible he must be to live with? And … To follow HIS rules or else? I lost my respect for him a long time ago & do not watch any of his movies, old or new. He has lost Nicole, the mother of those children, who has every right to them & bring them up catholic if she chooses. Why are the decisions all his? He has become a meglomaniac & in the process has lost his career. Go home Tom, nobody likes you anymore.

Nicole Kidman is not the only one Catholic raised. Tom Cruise himself was once a Catholic who considered joining the Franciscans I think. Also Katie Holmes is DEFINITELY Catholic raised. I hope that Nicole will be able to gain more contact and inclusion into the lives of those kids. SHE IS THEIR MOTHER!!! The whole Scientology thing is a control operation and it is small wonder Nicole wants those kids out of it. I hope and pray calmer heads will prevail soon and that Nicole will be given her rights as a mother. My heart continues to go out to Katie Holmes who has to be seen doing what ever Posh is doing and just following along with what ever Tom lays out. The whole thing is ridiculous and I am very much afraid that all she is going wind up with is a broken heart and a lot of empty promises per Tom and his crowd.

Attention: True Believers of the Most High God!!!! Please come together at 8 pm EST tonight, Friday the 25, 2008 spiritually.
Remember this: God has given every single one of his children dominion over everything on this earth except control of another human being; however, in a marriage, Jesus’s commandments are very clear. The man shall leave his mother and father and cleave unto his wife, the two shall become one flesh in Jesus Christ, and the MAN SHALL LOVE HIS WIFE AS HE LOVES HIMSELF, AS JESUS LOVES THE CHURCH. This is a very serious statement, as is everything that Jesus did. Do not forget that Jesus is the Lord of our lives, do not forget that HE gave his life for us after he suffered terribly as prophecied so that the scriptures would be fullfilled,,and most important as promised He would
HE AROSE FROM THE DEAD. HE DID ALL OF THIS SUFFERING FOR US SO THAT WE WOULD HAVE ETERNAL LIFE WITH HIM BACK ON THI EARTH AND HE WOULD TAKE AWAY ALL OF OUR PAIN, FEAR, AND HOLD US AND LIVE WITH US AND LOVE US AND WIPE AWAY ALL OF OUR TEARS. PLEASE DO NOT LOSE FAITH B/C WHEN WE DO, WE ARE ACTUALLY RE-CRUCIFYING HIM AGAIN AND AGAIN. see Book of Romans, 1 and 2nd Corin, Ephes, Galatians, the entire New Testament. Please, if you really love him, like HE love us, please stay in faith and most importantly in OBEDIENCE. As most true believers know, we truly are living in the End Times, and that this, our generation, will be the one to share in HIS GLORY, which HE so rightly deserves for what HE’s done for us, not to mention how many times, He forgives us, we are all sinners and fall short of the Glory of God, HE knows that, that’s why HE went to the Cross. He wants none of us to perish! For those who do not hear HIS voice only means that we are living in the natural; HE said HIS ways are not our ways, HIS thoughts are not our thoughts, in other words, HE wants us to walk by Faith, and Faith comes by hearing of the Word. Sadly, a lot of us do not know this, and HE knows that too, HE said, “my people perish for a lack of knowledge”, but if you’ll only “BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM”, you will. Pray for those who are being misled, He also said that that too would happen, “many will come in my name, do not be misled.” There are many out there who do not truly understand, because they have either hardened their hearts, or do not truly understand that HE forgave us all of our sins, iniquities, sicknesses, curses, everything was accomplished at the Cross, that’s why HE said, “It is finished”. Because of this great sacrifice, Satan cannot win, all we have to do is believe in Him, love Him and accept Him, and apply his teachings. WE have authority over everything, if we’ll only believe and receive it and bring it forth.
Pray for those who are being misled and lied to, b/c they obviously “know not what they do”. Let us all pray at 9 pm that those whom HE has called and those who will choose to receive it will pray for those who are being lied to by the evil one, that’s his job to kill, destroy and lie to. Let us pray that Tom, Nicole, the children and Katie will hear HIS voice and allow the Holy Spirit to come in to their hearts and begin to learn to listen to HIS voice.
Remember to hate the sin, not the sinners, and have faith that God is in control, and He takes all things and makes them work for the good of all that are in Christ. I have much more to teach you, but this is a limnited space, instead, pray to receive HIM, pray for discernment of the truth, and begin to learn HIS teacings and apply them to your lives therefore giving no power to the evil one, which Jesus promised has no authority over us, we have it over him; we are running out of time, give it all to HIM and begin to receive the blessings that HE promised to pour out over us if we’ll only believe.
Remember to pray at 9 pm tonight for everything because HE said when two or more come together to pray in HIS Name, there to shall HE be, and whatever we should ask for in HIS name, HE will give us the desires of our hearts. This is very powerful, and if you’ll only believe, it will be done in HIS name. God Bless you all, in Jesus Name
and be a child of the Most HIGH GOD, and watch how your life changes as your old self dies and you become “Born Again in Jesus Christ, the onhe and only true living son of God. None of the other so called prophets every promised to come back for you or prepare a place for you in his father’s mansion; unless you truly believe there are 13 virgins waiting for you up there if you’ll do the bizarre acts that sadly some believe. Believe in the One Almighty True Living God who came as a man in the name of Jesus Christ who loves you so much HE suffered died and rose again for all of us. It’s almost here, read the written inspired scriptures known as the Bible. God said, the Word of God is Jesus Christ. Thank him and Praise and Worship him and watch how your new life begins to change. (Also be aware that the closer you get to God the more Satan will come to attack to try to get you back, but he can not unless you forget that you have authority over him. That’s why it’s so important to listen to his instructions. Also, He said, we are his predesitined chosen children, which means that we are joint heirs with Jesus Christ, if you want to be an heir and receive his promises, realize that you must also suffer like Jesus did. I promise it’s worth it. You will be a new creation in Christ and you will live eternally with HIM. Amen!
He loves us very deeply! When he fullfilled our Holy Father’s Will which is throughout the entire Bible as prophecied by his annointed and chosen prophets, especially the Major Prophets, like Isaiah, Samuel, Jeremiah, as well as the minors like Daniel,Joel,etc; it is consistent. All you have to do is read the New Testament which is truly the inspired (God-breathed)written scripture/instruction manual from God,himself. For all of you who have been truly chosen, and you know who you are, you know that if we choose not to agree

If it’s true that Tom Cruz was Catholic in his upbringing, I can only imagine that he inadvertently fell in with the CULT that calls itself Scientology. They are like unto drug dealers, the first little bit is free, then you’re hooked and you don’t realize how much it cost you until it’s too late. Funny, isn’t it, how he keeps marrying Catholic girls. Thank God, Nicole refused to fall for that crud, but poor Katie is so very young, she must have thought she would lose him, if she didn’t covert??? To my way of thinking, it’s an absolute Sin against God to raise children up in a contrived “religion” written by L. Ron Hubbard, which was all about control from the get go. What are these babies learning of Christ, The Father & the Holy Spirit. Another example of believing Mans word, not Gods. Something we are expressly warned against, many many times. If the “stars” in Hollywood are so insecure, that they need this cult as some kind of self-help group, then they ought to high themselves off to the Psychiatrist couch and go to Mass and confession. I humbly offer that they would feel a whole lot better if they did so. I pray that Nicole gets custody of her two children w/Tom and that Katie sees the light, and is no longer fooled by the bright lights of tinsletown. May it be done according to God’s will, not mine. May God Bless and Keep the Mothers and children in this scenario and help everyone to the true light that is God Almighty.
