Details aside, there is zero difference to say, the Catholic Church.[snip]
The Catholic church doesn't require family members still practicing Catholicism to shun completely family members who leave the church, harass those who leave the church at their homes, or release hate filled press releases on fallen away famous members.
Scientology has been accused by many high profile former members of all these things. If true, I find those practices by the church of Scientology abhorrent and cruel.
Ridiculous comment. Katie Holmes signed a contract to marry Cruise thinking it would make her big star as it did Kidman before her. Didn't work out so well for her.
Nicole also had a contract. I've said it before here, years back, and it's 100% true; verified by hollywood insiders, one of whom is a friend of a friend of mine. Old news. Tom Cruise is gay as well. Also old news and well-known among Hollywood upper echelon.
Why is discussing other religions on a Scientology thread, off limits? Or just One other Religion, Christianity?
I guess you don't understand the idea of staying on topic, do you? The topic is Leah Remini's interview about Scientology. So no, bashing other religions is not on topic.
I'm not going to start discussing Big Bang Theory and justify it by saying that Leah was on King of Queens, and it's all TV.

What kind of contracts are you talking about? Non-disclosure/confidentiality agreements?
I am willing to bet those are pretty common among the rich and famous.

Exactly.
I live in LA and their Sunset Blvd. headquarters is in the East Hollywood area, their workers who stand in the same area all the time (they look like servers wearing black pants, white shirts, and black vests) are picked up around 11pm and by and old bus and all housed in the same building a few blocks south of Sunset, I saw them one night, it was like watching robots they walk in a single file off the bus.
I was driving with a friend who lives in the area and said "what is that old bus doing there"(kind of looks like a bus from the 50s) he said "oh that is the Scientologists getting dropped off, they stay in that building"(looked run down)....creepy.

You're absolutely correct. Nicole benefited in regards to becoming a star, but suffered in other ways. Katie Holmes thought by doing the same thing she would also come out a big star, didn't work out so well for her.
They were both married to Cruise for exactly 5 years.
