TOM Cruise says Scientology helped him beat dyslexia. The actor was "labelled" with the learning disability aged seven, he said, and wondered if he was "an idiot".
"As an adult, I learned to read perfectly through the technology method of L Ron Hubbard (Scientology's founder]," he said.

Their 'technology' is pseudo science.

If Cruise believes in Hubbard, he is an idiot.

If he was diagnosed with a learning disability at age 7 and as old as he is now he should have learned to read etc before now with the skills he learned how to cope with this.Tom Cruise is full of it!

You've got to hand it to Scientology: one alcoholic now dead failed sci-fi writer and fruitcake called L. Ron Hubbard scribbles down a load of total dross while in his stupor and goes down to the local hardware shop to buy an ohmmeter which he instantly proclaims he can use to tap into vegetables to connect with the Thetans (see his photos) - they created earth and humans don't you know. And all the Hollywood stars line up like Lemmings and say "oh my god this is so cool". You couldn't make it up!

Less than 30 days ago Tom Cruise said he was not going to speak publicly about Scientology.

I believe also said that he was never actually diagnosed with dyslexyia.

Also the spokes people for the church are saying that they believe in medicine for physical problems. I guess they don't consider dyslexia to be one. I wonder about autism ?????

Here is what the founder said about epilepsy :

EXPANDED DIANETICS LECTURE No.2
A lecture given to the Flag Dianetic Auditing Team on 7 April 1972.

EXPANDED DIANETICS AND WORD CLEARING

Here is the text of this bit:

And then people who have epilepsy, which is a type of disease which gives
them seizures, are almost always found on some minor drug that prevents them from getting these—they call them petit mal seizures. That's epilepsy. I don't care how they call it. Sometimes they really seize and sometimes it's just slight. One of those, if an epileptic ever took you by the hand and so forth, he's liable to break every bone in your hand, if he suddenly had a seizure. But the doctors keep them on something to prevent this. It's just a tranquilizer and they keep them on that one year, year in and year out. And then you come along as an auditor and you try to audit the pc and you tell the pc that he'll have to go off that drug. And then all of a sudden, why something will happen from someplace or another that the pc will tell the doctor that they have been taken off the drug by the auditor. And the doctor will call up plaintively asking you to please put her back on the drug because she needs this. And you get into a collision between medical treatment and so on. Now I've been using a lot of medical words here or chemical words really. Just don't pay any attention to them because they're mostly gobbledygook, and there's an awful lot of gobbledygook words. Gobbledygook just means nonsense chatter, you see. There's an awful lot of them.
