Will Smith Is Having a Rough Start to His Week
This week’s not beginning well for cuddly hometown hero Will Smith. Just as everyone has finally forgotten about that whole Hitler fiasco, he’s been associated with that other 20th-century horror: Scientology.
Radar magazine’s April cover story suggests that both Smith and his wife, Jada, have been secretly courted by the church for years in an effort to bring in more African-American members. Some suggest that the Smiths are already knee-deep in it thanks to their cozy couple-friendship with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes; the Fresh Prince’s reps are already denying the story.
Also, it seems Smith’s Hollywood success did not impress hip-hop producer Dr. Dre very much. In a new memoir by a longtime Dre confidant, it is revealed that the former N.W.A. member may have indirectly referred to Smith by disrespectful term that rhymes with “ditch digga.”

Good for Dre!
I know he’d never fall for that silly cult junk, giving all that money to an organization who destroys families. One look at http://www.exscientologykids.com/ is proof enough that Scientology is just plain wrong. I hope Will smartens up before he ruins his career, because I know I’m not the ONLY one who will quickly boycott anything he is attached to for fear of sending my money to a dangerous cult.

No more Will Smith for my family if he is joining that cult. We can’t support that cult in any way. I’m sad about it, but we’re firm on this.

Don’t worry, Uncle Phil will knock some sense into him.

Too late, he’s already a Scientologist. Why is this just coming out now.

Andrew is correct I’ve heard about that website, one of the it’s founders Jenna is the niece of scientology’s current leader, she was on Inside Edition, the personal stories of her and others tell of being, “disconnected”, not allowed to communicate with parents and siblings, forced abortions and other crimes.

Now this is the religion all about how,
Hubbard’s wallet got flipped turned upside down. So hook up an E-meter and sit right there I’ll tell you how you became a human Preclear.
On the planet Coltice born and raised Mining Vespene gas is how I spent most of my days, Being overpopulated and relaxin’ all cool and all playing some Thetan ball outside Scientology school. When a couple of Psychiatrists who were up to no good, started freezing brothers in my neighborhood, I got in one little volcano and my Overlord got scared and said “your moving with the homospaiens on Teegeeak, that planet with air”
So I Whistled for a DC8 and when it came near, It had no propellers just rockets in the rear If anything I could say the in-flight brainwashing movie was rare but I thought “nah forget it, Then they put me in a box using some Ghostbusters gear”
I pulled up to the planet about 7 or 8 million years ago And yelled to Xenu “Yo ho, Imprison you later” I looked at my Thetans, we were finally there To haunt us some primates with little body hair.

Here’s hoping that everyone, be they celebrity or not, who is involved in the Cult of Scientology can find their way out safely.

The cult is thirsty for some new Hollywood blood, and Tom Cruise’s star is waning, ya know? What the Church of Scientology doesn’t seem to get is that TC’s fame and influence are fading fast largely because he actually believes the BS they brainwashed him with, and he is out running his mouth about it nonstop.
Scientology is being destroyed by its own efforts to influence people and recruit celebs — isn’t that ironic? We were all content to ignore them until they started threatening all of civil society.
Unfortunately for Jada, Will, and anyone else who falls into Scientology’s clutches, Scientology is career plutonium from this day forward, and their association with it will damage them far more than it will help Scientology. They’re the lipstick, and Scientology is the pig. A pig’s a pig, even with lipstick, ya know, and no one else wants the lipstick after it’s been contaminated by the pig.
The African-American community has a great BS detector, and no way will they follow these dupes. These egomaniacal actors are tools falling for constant ego-stroking, and it’s a matter of time before the public avoids them like the plague.
