Can Will Smith Be Saved From The Church Of Scientology? - Page 2
Will Smith, like Barack Obama, is exceptionally charismatic, intelligent, articulate, handsome, seemingly trustworthy and without scandal. In reality, we were long overdue for this cultural shift and both stand as emblematic figures poised to take their place at the helm of guiding our multi-ethnic nation.
Surely, even David Miscavige must see this reality as clearly as we do, and this is evident in the actions of the Church of Scientology as they apply their pressure on Smith to no longer stay on the fence between Scientology, a peaking world-view, and the otherwise skeptical eye of the general population. It's us or them time, and Will Smith must choose wisely.
Popular opinion would tell him to avoid Scientology, as it has alienated itself from most critical thinking individuals in both the media and the arts. But the allure of the Church and how it courts celebrities can be a powerful and dizzying force. Even more potent in this mix of intoxicating influences may be Will's own wife Jada. What Jada lacks in stature, she makes up for in sheer will. Some within the Hollywood community believe Jada is already deeply entrenched within the Org. How they managed to ensnare this diminutive power-house is inconceivable, but from the outside, it would seem she is pulling her husband into the opulent walls of Scientology.
Will admits to studying Scientology with Tom Cruise, and according to an article in Us Magazine, Jada is even more intrigued.
"I've studied Buddhism and Hinduism, and I've studied Scientology through Tom [Cruise]."A source tells Us Weekly that wife Jada, 36, is also intrigued by the religion, saying, "She's more gung-ho about Scientology than Will."
Smith, 39, who was raised Baptist, says in Vogue, "Ninety-eight percent of the principles [in Scientology] are identical to the principles of the Bible. . . . I don't think that because the word someone uses for spirit is 'thetan' that the definition becomes any different."
And according to the NYDailyNews, Will is actively recruiting for the Church, despite denying being a full-fledged member:
