Brad,
Having a good point does not mean people want to listen…TC is an actor, not a Priest.

I didn’t say they had to want to listen. For that matter, there is much advice from priests today that I would not take.Brad,

Thank God for the Bible, Tradition, and the Magisterium!Brad,
I agree.![]()
Only if it’sNope. Not logical. If Tom Cruise said that the sky is blue (and that is certainly not what he said), then he’d be right.
Hey!Only if it’sdaytime. And only then if it’s
not raining…And

Hey, that’s fun. Here are some more:Anagrams.

This was very good! As I have long believed, the greatest number of people in the cult have no idea of the true teachings. By the time they hear about this, they are so brainwashed, there is little hope for them.
:nope:Hey!
I trust you aren’t one of those relativists. Or – are you one of THEM?
Hmmm lets see, does he have any vaild points?Yes. But if we want to be fair and honest, we cannot criticize Tom Cruise simply for being Tom Cruise. If he has some valid points we cannot refute them.

Published: Jun 29, 2005
Tom Cruise is busy hawking his summer movie about invading aliens, but it is his performance on the talk show circuit that is causing fright.
The know-it-all actor came unglued on the ``Today’’ show last week when Matt Lauer asked about Cruise’s crusade against psychiatry and antidepressants, including a bitter attack on Brooke Shields for seeking therapy for postpartum depression.
``You don’t know the history of psychiatry. I do,’’ Cruise told Lauer.
When Lauer pointed out that antidepressants had helped some of his friends, Cruise seemed to lose himself. ``Matt, Matt, you don’t even - you’re glib. If you start talking about chemical imbalance, you have to evaluate and read the research papers on how they came up with these theories. Matt, OK? That’s what I’ve done.
``… you don’t know, and I do.’’
Contrary to what Cruise would have viewers believe, he has no medical degree. He is a zealous practitioner of Scientology, which has long sought to discredit psychiatry. The view that modern medicine can be too quick to prescribe antidepressants is hardly out of the mainstream. But science has long proved that certain drugs can effectively treat mental illness. Postpartum depression, in particular, is treatable.
There are surely anxious individuals for whom exercise and vitamins are sufficient, as Cruise claims. But others need more. Cruise’s efforts to shame people out of seeking medical help could leave some feeling dangerously hopeless. This self-absorbed actor is playing with people’s lives.
Fortunately, it’s unlikely many people will give him much credence. They need only watch the rants of this strange and angry man to question whether vitamins and exercise are doing the job for him.
GET SOME STIFF MEDICINE TO CURE THESE CRUISE BLUES

THIS is an urgent public appeal to save Tom Cruise before it’s too late.
If Tom were just some homeless person with a habit of raving in public and snarling insanely at “Today” show hosts while going off his meds, we’d know exactly how to handle him.
If he were just some creepy nobody who enjoyed playing doctor without a license, he’d be stopped.
If Tom were just any other guy who liked to jump on strangers’ couches while engaging in agonizing displays of public affection with a taller girl whom he might credibly have fathered, he would be locked-up.
Tom would get hauled off by kindly men in white coats and transported to a sterile rubber room, where his noggin would promptly be attached to electrodes while he’s fed a handful of Brooke Shields’ leftover stash.
But Tom is not homeless and drooling.
He is rich and famous and drooling.
He is a dwarfish, fading Hollywood heartthrob with strangely white teeth who is currently tottering on the ledge, threatening to commit career and social suicide.
Tom needs your help. Do it for his fans.
Or for his kids. Do it for the preservation of his vast wealth and residual profits.
Do it for the continued existence of movie excess, for self-indulgent, hundred-million-dollar movie budgets with riders guaranteeing the stars unrealistic profits.
That’s right. Saving Tom means saving Hollywood itself.
Which is why I beg of you: Medicate Tom now!
As the “War of the Worlds” opens to snickers from fans who’ve witnessed Tom’s brain boil over on national television, it is clear that even wealthy celebrities can benefit from interventions from well-meaning strangers.
The scuttlebutt from within Paramount is that new studio chief Brad Grey is losing patience with Tom’s antics.
And with his constant proselytizing for Scientology, which became acute after Tom replaced his longtime publicist with his Scientologist sister.
That was the act of a man in crisis. Even Steven Spielberg is annoyed, having scolded Tom during a press tour to stop talking about his supposed relationship with Katie Holmes and start talking about their movie.
But the low point came when Tom snarled at Matt Lauer on “Today,” proclaiming, “You don’t know the history of psychiatry. I do.”
Get this guy some help. You wouldn’t let an animal suffer the way he has. Do it for the good of global entertainment. Medicate Tom now.
