That poor kid. Thank goodness she had more sense than to sign that contract - many people would have caved out of fear. Her mother (and that so-called church) should be done for child abandonment and abuse. 13 years old and she's on the street for not being a Sea Org member.

From everything I've read about Jenna Elfman, I'm convinced that she latched on to Scientology so ferociously as a means of compensating for her stunning lack of intelligence. She just ain't that bright.

Excerpts from Miscavige's lawyer's response to the Vanity Fair article on Tom's wife shopping. New Statesman[/color] Damn thing is 8 pages long. I'm pretty sure all of that could be said in 1 page or less.

I'm pretty sure all of that could be said in 1 page or less. [/quote] Scientologists seem to think repetition is important. The more you repeat it, the truer it is! I love this bit: That lawyer hasn't checked out the internet lately, has he? It sounds like the 'third wheel' bit was more of an insult than 'Tom Cruise needs help getting a date'. And only five continents? Why not seven? Or are the penguins too feisty? And apparently 'reliable sources' the author should have relied on are: So, they'd be more Scientologists, right? Oh, they'd be totally unbiased, I bet (or it'd be off to The Hole with them).

One of the commenters said -- rather astutely, I thought -- that he hoped that lawyer is getting paid enough not to mind that his name under a David Miscavige-penned letter is making him a laughingstock. I agreed, but then it occurred to me that the lawyer was probably off cleaning toilets with toothbrushes and wouldn't have anything to say about it anyway.

Scientologists seem to think repetition is important. The more you repeat it, the truer it is! Maybe that's how you mind-control lowly wogs. "These are not the droids you're looking for." ;D Nah, they don't have any money to pay for courses, and their flipperlike wings make them ill-suited to perform manual labor in the Sea Org. But rest assured that the penguins find it inconceivable that Mr. Cruise would have difficulty getting a girlfriend. The other great thing is that on the first page of the letter, Miscavige is basically like, "How dare you conceal this information from my spies within your magazine?" to Carter: Man, if Miscavige makes his lawyer sign off on this frothing-at-the-mouth rant and shares it publicly on the Co$ website, I dearly, dearly hope Miscavige ignores all prudent advice and actually takes Carter/VF to court. Every time the clams go to court, more of their insanity gets set down in the court record.

"It is inconceivable (to the entire world) that Mr. Cruise would have difficulty getting a girlfriend," writes a lawyer for the Church.

Has the full Vanity Fair article leaked yet? I'm dying to read it in full.

It's on newsstands now. Not sure if the whole thing is available online to non-subscribers but it's likely been scanned or typed up by ONTDers or whatnot.
