Even the Scientologists think Tommy is nuts!
Either that, or his insane zealotry is just making their push for mainstream acceptance more difficult.

Even some Scientology leaders think that Tom Cruise might be getting a little too preachy.

Some top-level officials at the Church of Scientology worry that the highest-profile member of the group may be going overboard when it comes to proselytizing. “He’s still their greatest asset, and they love Tom, but there is concern he has gone a little too far lately,” says a well-placed source. “They’re worried about a backlash.”

The source says that while church officials are “very happy” that Cruise has increased awareness of the sometimes controversial church and its positions, episodes such as his criticism of Brooke Shields and his testy talk with Matt Lauer on the Today Show “seem to be causing some backlash.”

The source adds, “There’s also concern that his sister can’t handle the situation” but says that the church officials are “nervous about saying anything because they don’t want to upset” their megastar member.

He may revolt and start his own organization - the Church of Cruisology. :silly:
