Tom Keeps Suri in a Cage

Oprah didn't pull any punches with Tom Cruise in their big interview today, asking him exactly what he was thinking when he went all Scientolocrazy on her couch the last time they talked.


But the craziest thing we learned about Tom? He and Katie have built a small playroom cage for Suri under the stairs of their Telluride house where she "has tea parties" -- Scientolospeak for reading LRH by flashlight, we're thinkin'.

Also, Katie's audio module was apparently activated for a very short period of time. Oprah confessed that she was "nervous" when she approached the house. No wonder.

31.
**News Flash***

Tom and $cientology are in massive damage control mode.
He needed a platform to come across all restrained and considerate and Oprah obliged.
How much more dumbed down could those questions get?

Oprah was never going to address the issues that a lot of people are finding out about Tom and $cientology.
$cientology is being exposed online as the cult that it is - FINALLY.

Forget Oprah, check out Toms $cientolocrazy videos on youtube.
He thinks he's the mesiah.
He is one lost CULT member.

32. The truth is $cientology is a myriad of corporations and front groups.
Infiltrating those area in society that give it access to vulnerable converts and government funding.
I think most people would be floored if they realised how many areas of business and government $cientology has in fact clawed itself into.

Tom Cruise could be looked at as just another victim of $cientology.
But the irrefutable evidence out there is that he is knowingly representing this cult.
Most people wouldn't have the first clue about what he does behind the scenes.
For example, how he regularly meets with government representatives, both in America, the UK and others to try to gain an advantage for $cientology and their front groups.
He wants to change the way the education system and the mental health systems are run.

$cientology is NOT just some expensive counselling service.
It is a highly funded and well connected organisation that wants to effect change.

Everyone needs to ask themselves
"Do I want my tax dollars to support an abusive cult?"
If the answer is NO.
Then do something about it.
Get informed.
Get involved.

33. Dallas - I posted this comment to a Joe Francis story regarding another girl suing him for 25K, which summarily disappeared about 1/2 hr ago, and now here's my comment popped up here on an unrelated thread. Lol. Shugs shoulders with hands up.

34. If Cruise left and denounced that cult, he would be everybody's Golden Boy in a millisecond, with interviews and movies and invites lined up for the next 10 years. People have good instincts regarding this Scientology, and he is disliked purely by association and manner.

36. Oprah: "Tom. do you have anything to say to the families of Lisa McPherson, etc.?"

37. The room under the stairs thing is so NOT wierd, little kids love to have "club houses" in any space they can find! Chill out!

38. Oh come on. When I was a kid, I loved cute spaces like that where I could play with my dolls and stuff. Why put such a stupid headline about Suri being in a cage!!? Your writers are one brick short of a load but I think we all kind of know that now.

39. Are you seriously buying into this little playroom being anything but the awesome little getaway that it is? I would have loved (and most kids would have also loved) to have had a place like this to go have tea parties and play house.
I don't know what these people do in the rest of their home, or how they live their lives in general, but if this is all you've got on them, you've got nothing.

40. My son used to play behind my closet behind the clothes because there was a cubby about 5ft X 5ft X 8ft high. He would take blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, books, and snacks in there and play forever. I think young kids like a space more their own size, it makes them feel safe.

41. Do we know that the space wasn't there, possibly used for storage, when they bought the house and Suri herself decided it should be her playhouse?

42. When I was a little girl, we used to play out of old cardboard boxes and pretend they were houses. We cut out windows and put our stuff in there and take naps.

43. The playhouse is adorable and thank heavens it is simple and not with all the bells and whistles that most celeb children must have. Yes, he jumped on the couch, but his current response made me respect a man that I hadn't before when asked if he would take it back. He wouldn't despite the backlash of his insanity. If that is the worst he can do, then more power to him. Does he belong to a religion that believes nutty things? Yes, but how many of you believe that God impregnated a virgin to give birth to himself? How many of you believe that God parted the reed sea?

As far as medication goes, why are so many of them in our drinking water and NOT filtered out? Why are we so heavily medicating for symptoms over real disease? We throw medication at people when family members die when instead we need to stop hiding death and instead deal with the loss. We throw antibiotics at people when they have viral infections. We give tylenol when a fever is not even 102. Why? Because pharmaceutical companies excessively advertise to get their money and we expect a McDonalds mentality fix. Am I a $cientologist? Nope, but while CO$ through CCHR does preach some outrageous stuff about evil psychs, it's not all wrong. We are an overly medicated society though there are those that absolutely require medications and need treatment.

44. Love You Tmz,or I wouldn't be at your website. But who is writing your misleading headlines,on the topics? You can do
better than this. It has been going on a lot lately.

By the way,I think Suri is a darling little girl!

45. Not to undermine Tom's status as a total freak, but that's actually not that uncommon. I had a few friends when I was a kid who had playrooms in crawlspaces/attics no one knew what else to do with and all their friends thought it was much cooler than a tree house.
