With the recent release of the Netflix documentary series about David Beckham, there has been renewed interest in the efforts made by Tom Cruise to recruit them into scientology.
Marc Headley and I discuss and tell some of the behind the scenes stories that have not been revealed to the world.
These are the documents and photos we referred to in the video..
Cruise is reportedly “still angry” at the Beckhams because he believes that they took advantage of his kindness when they moved to California. “Tom did everything for them when they first moved to L.A. He practically gave them the keys to the city,” a source dished to The National Enquirer, via RadarOnline. “He threw them a party to meet everyone important, and the moment they were established they chucked him!”
A second insider claims that Beckhams “test[ed] the waters a while ago” to see if they could make amends, but the Mission Impossible star “ignored them” because he “has no intention of being friends again.” While Cruise has a right to feel hurt, there may be a more complicated reason as to why David and Victoria put up a boundary with him. The 61-year-old actor reportedly tried to recruit the A-list couple into joining the Church of Scientology, which understandably scared them off.
“What was an issue was the pressure to join Scientology,” the Beckham pal revealed. “[Tom] wouldn’t take no for an answer.” As a result, the athlete and fashion designer felt that “they had no choice but pull away.” But the Cruise insider insists, “It’s clear Tom was hurt by the rejection.” Cruise was last spotted with the Beckhams in 2014, but it appears that a reconciliation is not in the cards for any of them.

Tom has two rules he lives by.
Toms, rules
Rule 1. I am a Scientologist, I am superior and I know all.
Rule 2. If you disagree, refer back to rule one.

Years ago when I was “in,” & at Flag, I was told they were coming out with this “amazing new course:
‘The Key to Life’ which I believe had/has 26 rundowns”.
Once I heard one of the Rundowns was running around a pole…and this was something we public would have to PAY for…I told the Executive:
“I will N E V E R be doing that
Course, ever” (& I never did!)
Great interview! Do you know if
Vaughter Korringa is still part of Tom Cruise ‘s staff? I know his wife briefly was. She’s O.T.8/Class 8 & told me she ~thought~ she would be treated better, included more.
When Tom (“Mr Cruise” 🤣 did not, and “we were paid shitty”…she left.
Thanks for the chat…you two are great! (& yes, even better with your wives) 🌷✌️🌹

It is since a while – many many years indeed – I didnt read anything about Tom talking spontenously about scn.
This certainly shows a “strategy” (pts/sp tech….wow!) to avoid any possibile embaracing questions about his private life and scn and what is now available on internet, starting from this blog, on what the cult real face is.
That is a stinky swamp no one can escape from. Something ‘too gruesome to confront’ even for the super boss mister Hide.
Imagine for poor Tom.

It is far more difficult to apply high pressure to two people than to just one.
One person may succumb but two people will talk it over between the two of them and there will be little doubt they are about to become the victims of one of the most rapacious scams in all of history. It’s much more difficult to sway two people because each of them has to answer to the other person. One person has no one else to help convince them.
But there are two other people who have supplied the tools to make it easy to resist this high pressure. They created a TV show called “The Aftermath” in which it became abundantly clear to many people who had never before known just what a filthy criminal scam this is.
I remember the last time someone called me and pressured me to come on down to the church and take a free course. I had no difficulty whatsoever in telling them to, “Stick it up your ass and blow it out your ear!” After learning just how this scam operates, I had no difficulty at all.

Ever since the TV show “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” I have known the truly wealthy burn money on what they consider luxury. I have no problem with that because money spent on any goods and services doesn’t disappear into thin air. The money drifts down through the community, eventually appearing as paychecks that help support families.
Not so with some of Tom Cruise’s luxurous stuff. He has allowed wage-slaves of a scam fake church to provide substantial free services to him. Cruise could easily pay full retail without putting a dent in his ever-increasing fortune. Maybe he likes being the Baron of his castle of movie wealth and fame, lording it over the peons struggling and starving to make his life easier.
I don’t think there is any possibility Cruise does not know about the 100+ hour work weeks and less than $50 per week pay of Sea Org and Staff members of Scientology. Does he pay any of them a fair wage, comparable to what the hundreds of Hollywood support people that have made him rich earn? Maybe the answer lies in asking the man who customized his motorbike and his airplane hanger, and others who have worked in Cruise’s home tending to his many needs.
But forsooth, Baron Cruise! It is not too late! A brief directive to your Chancellor of the Exchequer and he could issue back pay, with interest, to anyone you might have (accidently) cheated by playing on their committment to your shared religion. You’ll never miss the money, since you probably don’t know what you have anyway.

My apologies Mike,
I did not tell you how good this post was.
But as you can see, I’ve put my manners back in, and hopefully made up for it.
Ammo Alamo says
Well, TC, no sense getting enturbulated just because you weren’t able to Sell These People A Piece Of Blue Sky.
Greg says
You’d expect, I’m sure by now the Beckham’s can spot a scam a mile away.
Plus, I’m sure, as mentioned in the blog, Tom’s over-the-top I won’t take no for an answer, relentless hard sell wouldn’t have gone over very well.

Tom’s “kindness” wasn’t kindness at all. He was a shark going after raw meat for his cult.
Greg says
Exactly
Mary Kahn says
If a scientologist is “being kind” watch out.

Thank you, my thoughts exactly, Anonymous.

Tom is divorced 3 times. Beckham is still on his first marriage. How’s Scientology working ?
Greg says
😂 as well as expected.
I heard Aaron talking about Tom being bad for scientology because of all the SP’s he creates e.g. his ex-wives.
Mary Kahn says
Divorced 3 times. Shunned “good” friends and by “good friends.” His life is one big Delusion of Greatness just like his BFF.
Aquamarine says
True, true, but he’ll always have Dave 🙂
