Will Smith's Scientology School Shuts

The Dove · 04/07/13 - 01:14

It's not going well for Woll these days. Not only was 'After Earth' a flop but he and wife, Jada Pinkett, have had to shut down the school they were funding.

What a shame

I never realized that he was another stupid follower of a sham. Pity, I quite liked his films.

Just the thought of Woll Smoth makes me giggle uncontrolably. Looking at photos has me guffawing like a loon!:D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqIiItNz2N8

It's tough to run a faith school based on nonsense made up so recently. It needs a good few centuries until people will properly swallow it.

Glad it's been shut down. Scientology's a right bad organisation. I hope more Scientology things shut down.

It must be hard to win converts to a fetish for looking through poo.

I had no idea that he was into scientology... That kind of makes him less sympathetic, so I understand why he would downplay it.

Why does his private life affect how you'd enjoy his films?

wilehelmas · 04/07/13 - 18:09

What, Xenu didn't warn them in advance?

Have they not sent the monthly cheque or something?

When was the last time you watched and enjoyed a re-run of Jim'll Fix It?

I had a read about the "study tech". Apparently "the only reason anyone would ever question Scientology, or want to leave and stop studying Scientology, is because they have misunderstood words."

Another **** celebrity supporting scientology

Grabid Rannies · 04/07/13 - 23:10

As far as I understand it WS, Tom Cruise and John Travolta are into scientology.

Now, about that 'in the closet celebs' thread *cough* *ahem*...

You enjoy looking at Hitlers painting or listening to Gary Glitters music ?

Lol....I love the Southpark in the closet episode with these three in it

On a serious note - These three actors credibility ,popularity and careers have been on a slow downward slide for a few years to different degrees . Will is now beginning to show the "scientology affect" and I think it will get worse for him.
I'm surprised that any actor in hollywood would join this cult today as it seems to have become a slow kiss of death career wise.

This cult seems to be drawing in film stars in America. They can't seem to see that they're being used for their money.

So you're equating being in Scientology with being a paedophile and a despot?

To answer your question: GG music I never listened to anyway. Not my thing.

I've never seen a Hitler painting but if I did I would judge it as a painting not by who painted it. The same way I can quite happily watch a Mel Gibson film. I enjoy the art and the personal life of the artist is wholly irrelevant to me.

I dont know who should feel most slighted, Scientologists or Paedophiles.

I didn't know he was a scientologist either. There was a show recently, I think it was on Channel 4(?) about scientology - they seemed to be targeting someone who had left the church and was offering an alternative way of being a scientologist away from the church I think?. It all seemed quite sinister. I'm disappointed that Will would be involved in such an organisation to be honest, there is something quite sinister about it but yes, its also true that people's personal lives should be their business only, as long as their not breaking the law or anything. I remember hearing the basic concepts of scientology - it seems hard to believe all the talk about aliens and everything and there seemed to be a focus on wealth which made me uncomfortable.

It seems a big money spinner to me but what do I know?.

Basically you pay them to brainwash you into paying them more.

Mark39London · 06/07/13 - 22:18

These people must either be very gullible or have secrets that they don't want exposed.

Although why they tell them to the scientology nutcases in the first place bewilders me. The returns must be worth it, maybe more work or something?

If so, I'd have thought Will would be too clever to fall for that.

The same could be said for Cruise, Travolta and all these other mega rich film stars. I'm wondering if this Scientology cult is the latest trend going for the film stars these days. It must just be a trend because if not, this means that all these mega rich film stars are easily manipulated and led.

Will seemed a bit more down to earth and laidback somehow than Cruise etc. though but then I've never been keen on Cruise and Travolta, so maybe im biased? I might be totally wrong though.

As bad as it is, it's significantly less socially detrimental than the stuff taught in Christian and Muslim schools.

I can't remember the last war fought over Scientology.
