After the Going Clear documentary, it is now open season on Tom Cruise’s church. If a middle-of-the-road outfit like SNL is going after you then you know the jig is up. SNL only goes after low-hanging fruit like Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian and the like. Scientology is now on the same level as a miscreant pop singer or a witless reality ditz? Wow.


It would have been unthinkable five years ago for SNL to go this hard after Scientology, but Scientology’s Hollywood members no longer possess sufficient collective clout to represent a bulwark against satiric criticism. Having Tom Cruise and John Travolta in the fold isn’t enough to keep the wolves at bay.


After Going Clear, Cruise is widely perceived as a pathetic narcissist and spineless David Miscavige butt-boy. Why should SNL care about pissing off Cruise? And why should they care about angering that creepy-uncle Travolta? Cruise and Travolta have both obviously been bullied and blackmailed into submission by the church and their thugs, right?

If Tom Cruise was really, really smart, he could get ahead of this PR meltdown by going on Saturday Night Live and being part of an outrageous self-parody, "joking-and-degrading" about him being part of a mind-numbing, evil cult. And he should wear a costume befitting a senior officer in Ron's Salvation Navy with lots of military precision barking, saluting & super-loud CruiseCackling[SUP]tm[/SUP].

Of course if Tom Cruise was really, really smart, he wouldn't still be in Scientology.

No danger here folks, move along, Mr. Cruise won't be making fun of Ron's bridge to total freedom, because he is the world's most dedicated & devout planet clearer & sector salvager.

HELPFUL TIP FOR TOM CRUISE: Go, Tom Go! Clearing the planet! You're almost there! You've slammed ethics in hard on planet earth and the SPs are running away, shattered. We thank you for putting an end to the little beings' pathetic attempt to sabotage Ron's, Dave's and your precious supernatural OT tech.

At this rate Hubbard will have to come back from Target 2 to handle the situation.

Wonder if he's lost weight and fixed his teeth?

Come back? More likely, based on his constant fleeing while here on earth, that he will have to move out to OT-target XV so he can be unimpeded by this universe to do his 'research'.

On second thought.....seeing how he handled his mind, his Big BTs, his body and the current situation....maybe he should just change his name to the 'greatest fiend of universes the ONE the only Source of FAILED HANDLING 'and just become a rock.

Have some scuttlebutt from inside (via a proxy, of course). :coolwink:

DSAs (local OSA people in orgs) are telling people that if the subject of the Going Clear movie
comes up on their lines, just send people to the freedom dot org website to see the videos.

Excuse me? Like that's gonna help anything.
Last arrow in the quiver . . . looks like. :shrug:


Wait. What was that subject again? let me write it down so I can google it later and be able to tell them all about it :biggrin: G.O.I.N.G. C.L.E.A.R. okay got it...when will it be showing in the academy? I got to be sure to set aside the extra time to see it.

Interesting article. If this guy went to search for the original because he was so curious, who else is going to do that and more? Listen to his (her?) take.

‘We Stand Tall': This Is The 1990 Video ‘SNL’ Just Eviscerated


“We Stand Tall” is a 1990 video that, until last night’s episode of Saturday Night Live, I wasn’t aware existed.

In the SNL Scientology spoof, the name of the religion is changed to “neurotology,” and it’s a very ’90s-looking affair from fashion to hair style to film stock. It’s also hilarious, at least until you see the real thing.

The “neurotology” video was updated with footnotes as to where each person in the video currently resides and what they’re up to.

Of course, in most every case, it’s an unflattering outcome. “Missing” is frequently used, in reference to Scientology followers like Shelly Miscavige, who have not been heard from in years. Some charge that the church has imprisoned her and others as some form of punishment.

The SNL Scientology spoof plays on that thoroughly, and also drops updates like “This man has beat up everyone in this video.”

There is also black-and-white footage of an L. Ron Hubbard-like figure.

It’s all very left-field, yet soundly funny, but when you hear that word “spoof,” you can’t help but wonder about the source material. That fascination led me to YouTube, where I came across the original “We Stand Tall,” and when you watch the video as it was originally intended, two things become apparent.

Firstly, the SNL video gets everything about the production and song type perfect. And secondly, it’s no longer as funny when you watch the five-minute original and realize there wasn’t any element of parody in the original.


Along with the Miscavige story that just won’t seem to go away for the church, it casts a darker pallor over what was supposed to be a funny skit.

Miscavige isn’t alone in the speculation, but since her husband David Miscavige has been a leader of the Church of Scientology, her absence from public appearances for the last eight years has served as an impetus for documentaries like HBO’s Going Clear, which paint the church in a severely negative — downright criminal — light.

That said, here’s a look at the original “We Stand Tall.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyNh1j3dsp8#t=111

It isn’t clear how the Church of Scientology, which counts John Travolta and Tom Cruise among its members will respond to the SNL spoof on “neurotology,” but the battle lines have certainly been drawn.

And with ex-members like Leah Remini heaping on the criticism, it doesn’t seem like the issue will be going away any time soon, regardless.

What were your impressions of the “We Stand Tall” video, and does it change how you see the SNL spoof? Sound off in the comments section.
