FOX News Tom Cruise claims to have been dyslexic before he was saved by Scientology. Let's hope that he can read the fine print in a new agreement the religious organization is demanding its members sign. The contract — called the "Agreement and General Release Regarding Spiritual Assistance" — makes it clear that the signee does not believe in psychiatry and does not want to be treated for any kind of psychiatric ailment should one befall him. Instead, once the paper is signed, ...

Spielberg and Cruise dream team might make 'Minority Report' a winner — Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Seattle Post-Intelligencer As part of the multimillion campaigns by which motion pictures are promoted to the public, there's nothing particularly unusual about a major star or director coming to Seattle to schmooze the local press. Indeed, that parade never seems to let up. But an appearance here earlier this week by both Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise – Hollywood's biggest director and star, after all – was a dazzling media event that made the city's movie press forget for a while that there ...

Illawarra Mercury (Australia) John Travolta is a staunch supporter. So are many other Hollywood celebrities and it is from them that The Church of Scientology gets its best publicity. Yet while the promotion comes through association with high-profile names, there is rarely a lot actually discussed about the church. That is set to change with this French documentary (narrated in English and featuring subtitles) that examines the relationship between the Church of Scientology and the law in France, Germany and the United States.

Illawarra Mercury (Australia) RELIGION in all its forms sparks intense debate but none more so in recent times perhaps than the Church of Scientology. A relatively young religion created by science fiction author Lafayette Ron Hubbard, Scientology's profile has risen sharply with the support of such high-profile acting identities as John Travolta and Juliette Lewis. Yet while most people would have an opinion on the church's ideology, there rarely seems to be much open debate about it in the social arena. That changes next ...
