The tweets about Scientology that got a comedian in hot water « The Underground Bunker. Pichot told them she wasn’t sure when she was supposed to have done this.“It may be many years ago. I write so many things on Twitter . It shows that she watched Going Clear, Alex Gibney’s documentary on Scientology, soon after its release. And she was horrified by what it revealed. In a first tweet in December 2. Apologies, I was watching the Scientology documentary and I’m too scared to sleep now.”Later the same day, she returns to the subject with a separate tweet.“Don’t miss !
It’s on Netflix! It’s a terrible cult and has a base in Argentina!”Finally, last November she posted a screen grab of a senior Scientologist in a TV studio. The Scientologist in the picture is Gustavo Libardi, president of Scientology’s operations in Argentina. He is the one who filed the complaint with INADI, Teleshow reported. Judging from the logo in the background of her tweet, this was a broadcast on Telemax Argentina, the channel where Scientology has a weekly half- hour show. Pichot told Teleshow that she was trying to get more information from INADI (the National Institute Against Discrimination, Xenophobia and Racism). So are we — and we’ve reached out to Pichot too. But if this is all there is to it, it’s hard to see what all the fuss is about.
Perhaps it is just a principled objection to the use of the term, “cult.” Or, as Hubbard wrote back in 1. The purpose of the suit is to harass and discourage rather than to win. The law can be used very easily to harass, and enough harassment on somebody who is simply on the thin edge anyway, well knowing that he is not authorized, will generally be sufficient to cause his professional decease. If possible, of course, ruin him utterly. Not sure what that will do their stats this week.
Bunker regulars will need no introduction to Gibney’s Going Clear (based on Lawrence Wright’s book of the same name), but newcomers might want to check out Bunker proprietor Tony Ortega’sextensive coverage elsewhere at the site. We don’t usually read E! Online, but this story seemed somewhat ambitious and we thought we’d give it a try. The headline read, “Inside the inscrutably private life of Tom Cruise: How the movie star achieved exactly what he set out to do with sheer presence.” What followed was a lengthy clip job, putting together a lot of different things that have been written about Cruise and Scientology over the years. You know the litany. Katie bolts. Tom hasn’t seen Suri. Tom sells his properties and looks like he’s moving to a penthouse in Clearwater (No link to the Bunker on that little scoop, unfortunately).
Anyway, the piece mentioned Tom’s recent sad news. Tom Cruise and his sisters, attending a memorial, in a “local church” of Scientology — in New Jersey? The passage linked to a previous E! Tom and his sisters heading down to the local Scientology church in New Jersey to have some kind of funeral for their mother there. And that story in turn linked to its original source, a piece at People magazine that first broke the news of Mary Lee South’s death. Here’s what that People magazine story said: South, 8.
South, who coped with health issues in recent years, was given a memorial service at her local Church of Scientology this weekend. The 5. 4- year- old star and his sisters Lee Ann De. Vette, 5. 7, Cass Mapother, 5. Marian Henry, 5. 2, all attended the memorial along with other family and friends. Nothing about New Jersey. Only that the memorial had taken place in Mary’s “local” Scientology church. The only thing we could see that might lead E!
Online to insert that odd geographical detail is that the People story did mention New Jersey as the place where Tom’s mother was living when Tom went to New York to wait tables and try to break into the movie business. But that was decades ago. In her last few years, Mary Lee South had actually been living in Sarasota, Florida, not New Jersey. In fact, we believe that one reason Cruise had been selling property and moving to Clearwater was that it wasn’t too far (just across Tampa Bay) from where his ailing mom was living. A construction worker told bar owner Clay Irwin, when he recently toured Tom’s unfinished Clearwater penthouse and before either of them had heard the news of Mary’s passing, that one of its bedrooms had been set aside for her. If Tom and his sisters had a service for their mother in her “local church,” it could have been in any number of orgs and missions in the Tampa/Clearwater area.
But one would think she would merit a special memorial at the Fort Harrison Hotel, Scientology’s holiest location, in Clearwater. Anyway, that odd mistake by E! Online had us wondering. Just what would your “local Scientology church” look like in New Jersey? New Jersey is a state of some 9 million people, and yet according to Scientology’s own official website, its only “church” is the local mission in Elizabeth, which is an important town in Scientology history.

What a mighty thetan! But despite Barragan’s enthusiasm, it’s kind of hard to see Tom Cruise heading down to this dental office- slash- Dianetics storefront for a funeral. Or anyone else for that matter.
And yet this is the only Scientology org or mission in the entire state. There is another Scientology property that was recently restored in Bay Head, New Jersey. It’s a house that Hubbard and his second wife, Sara Northrup, rented as he was writing Dianetics. It’s been turned into a museum for Scientologists. Could it be used for a memorial service? Sure, why not. And just a cursory look at the map shows that in New Jersey alone, there are more than 5.
