Does Scientology deserve more scrutiny than other religions?

[Rev. Rye]

Scratch the probably... According to Going Clear, Cruise got such services from them as getting organized a girlfriend on short notice...

I know that. But I always keep asking myself if these services aren't actually surveillance. I'm pretty sure these bodyguards and staff - partly from Scientology - are there to protect and to keep him in line simultanously.

No, that's what the auditing sessions are for. From what I've heard, John Travolta's big reason for still staying in the church after all these years is that they threatened to release some potentially damaging information from his auditing files if he ever leaves, most likely due to closeted homosexuality/bisexuality.
