Tom Cruise threatened to 'beat the living shit' out of wayward Scientologists
Tom Cruise threatened to 'beat the living shit' out of wayward Scientologists

http://thesuperficial.com/2009/11/tom_cruise_threatened_to_beat.php

Tom Cruise allegedly threatened to "beat the living shit" out of three disobedient Scientologists, according to the NY Daily News:

Marty Rathbun, once one of Miscavige's most trusted lieutenants, tells us he has a witness who can corroborate his account of a bloody beating at the church's 500-acre compound in Hemet, Calif. Furthermore, he's brought it to the attention of Cruise's attorney, Bert Fields.

On the day before the actor's visit a couple of years ago, the compound's managers took part in "the Tom Cruise arrival preparation drill," which required "orchestrating every action they perform ... in the presence of Cruise," Rathbun recently wrote Fields.

But Miscavige wasn't happy when he addressed 80 to 100 managers at a prisonlike facility, known as "The Hole," where three insubordinate officials -- Marc Yager, Guillaume Leserve and Ray Mithoff -- were "incarcerated," according to Rathbun.

"Miscavige berated for being far too light in their demands for confessions" from the three, Rathbun alleges in his letter, "because they refused to beat ... to pulps. Miscavige said that Tom ... had vowed to come to the Hole and personally 'beat the living ' out of Yager, Leserve and Mithoff if the managers failed to do so themselves.
"
In response, the mob rushed at the three targeted gentlemen," Rathbun claimed. "Fists flew and feet kicked into the three. They continued to pound until ... each had two black eyes."

How embarrassing would it be to have to admit that you had your ass kicked by Tom Cruise?

4. Isn't his anger just his body thetans trying to escape?
Looks like Tommy needs some more Dianetics training.

7. He's afraid that if his Thetans took flight, so would his career.

10. Even if Tom can't, obviously a mob can.
Why won't the US government revoke their status as a "religion"? That kind of activity shouldn't be tolerated by anyone.

26. I thought every time they pooped it elevated their status or something.
So he's just being helpful.

The 'Boston Legal' ep comes to mind where the Alan farts on his way back to the defense table and exclaims "I'm getting closer by the minute".
