Natalie Thomas: Are You a Rachael or a Martha?
Suri Cruise 'conceived like Rosmary's Baby'
Filed under: Celeb Kids, Celeb Parents, Rumors
I will admit that I don't really understand Scientology. I guess I've never cared enough to read up on it. But I do love to read biographies and Andrew Morton's new one on Tom Cruise has peaked my interest. Apparently, the new book, Tom Cruise: An Unauthorised Biography, has also raised the ire of Mr. Cruise himself. Unauthorized biographies have a way of doing that, I guess.
In the book, Morton makes a number of claims that have Scientology lawyers talking lawsuit and Cruise issuing vehement denials. One of the most bizarre claims involves little Suri Cruise's conception. According to Morton, Suri was "conceived like Rosemary's Baby". By that, he means that Suri was the result of a sperm donation. No big deal there. However, he says that sperm came from the late L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Church of Scientology. Okay, that is a little weird.
Morton surmises that Katie Holmes may feel she was in "the horror movie Rosemary's Baby, in which an unsuspecting young woman is impregnated with the Devil's child".
Cruise's lawyer, Bert Fields, says that claim is "sick and bizarre" and that the entire book is "poorly researched and badly written, and it's not really even about Tom Cruise - it's an attack on Scientology."
I've heard these rumors about Suri's conception before and find them hard to believe. Mostly because Katie got pregnant so early in the relationship with Tom that I just cannot imagine she would willingly go along with such a scheme. If there is brainwashing and mind control involved in Scientology - as some claim - surely it takes a little while to get a girl under that spell.
The book goes on sale in the U.S. January 15, but due to fear of defamation lawsuits, it isn't being released in the UK or Australia at all.

Well, I don't know much about the techniques of Scientology, but back when cults were the big bugaboo (late 70s, say), there was plenty of evidence that a single weekend retreat was enough for a pretty long-lasting reprogramming (under the effects of sleep deprivation and caloric manipulation, as well as dense peer pressure), so the above piece of argument shouldn't be given too much weight.

But, from what I understand of Scientology, by looking at their web sites, they do the exact opposite of brain-washing. Those things in your subconscious that might be making you feel bad, or make you feel compelled to do certain anti-survival actions, well it helps to remove them. I've had friends with PTSD from Iraq so I know that people do really lose all control of themselves. I've seen it and it's scary. According to the Scientology web sites, handling something like this is very simple to do. Here is where I've done my research.
