The April 17th issue of US magazine reports that L. Ron Hubbard (science fiction author and founder of Scientology) also had his own baby formula recipe which consists of barley water, milk and corn syrup and that 'Hubbard believed the blend was sometimes better than breast milk.' He sounds as wacky and controlling as Tom Cruise.....
This was discussed on the radio this morning. A "reliable source" (whatever that means) stated that Katie actually gave birth 2 months ago to her ex-BF''s baby, but they are keeping that a secret so they can have Katie give birth in conjunction with the "MI3" release and to keep in line for the timeline of their romance....
Sorry, didn''t mean to offend....I''m really confused because from what I understand a person does not have to renounce their faith to become a Scientologist. I always thought Scientology pursued its legally tax exempt "Religion" status for financial gain.....I''ve never heard of anyone considering it "sacred....." My mother-in-law was a Scientologist, but considered it more as educational courses she had signed up for, and not religion....I really don''t get it!Date: 4/7/2006 6:55:07 PM

OK. I don''t like Scientology as much as the next guy, possibly more so. But goodness, guys. Can we remember that this is a religion for the people who practice it? That some people actually believe its sacred? I don''t think it shouldn''t be open to ridicule or that the admin isn''t corrupt, but the people on the ground aren''t all nuts.
The baby formula recipie was created in the 50s when most of the formula was full of sugar and preservatives. It doesn''t have any corn syrup in it, I think its mostly barley, essential minerals and vitamins for a baby, and (I can''t remember) soy milk or something. It doesn''t have any corn syrup in it. It was only supposed to replace breast milk if the mom was a crack addict or something.
ETA: also, you don''t have to give your kid the formula. it''s more in the nature of a suggestion.
My stepmom gave my stepbro the barley formula when he was between b. milk and solid food. Apparently worked fine for him. HUbbard was wacky and controlling, but his formula for babies isn''t particularly indicative.
The "TomKat" baby may be the most hotly anticipated celebrity birth of the season, but it is expected to be delivered in line with the little understood Scientology method of quiet or silent birth.
Cruise, 43, is one of the best known adherents of the Church of Scientology founded by L. Ron Hubbard, who believed that the best possible start in life for a new baby is a calm and loving environment free of screaming obscenities, chatty doctors or shouts to "push."
"A woman who wants her child to have the best possible chance will find a doctor who will agree to keep quiet especially during the delivery, and who will insist upon silence being maintained in the hospital delivery room as far as it is humanly possible," Hubbard wrote.
Scientologists have spoken out in support of Cruise and the silent birth principle despite rumors and media criticism.
The "Mission Impossible" star this week denied one tabloid magazine report that he had bought an adult pacifier to muffle the moans and groans of his 27 year-old fiancee.
According to another report, large posters have been given to the Catholic-raised Holmes reminding her to "Be Silent and make all physical movements slow and understandable."
Scientologists John Travolta and his actress wife Kelly Preston were among those explaining the method. "Screaming is fine....it''s the words. If you can avoid saying certain phrases and words...Of course you''re going to groan and yell. It hurts. Just keep it to the minimum," said Preston, mother of two.
"As a mom, I am going through a very painful experience and my child is going through a very traumatic and painful experience. So I didn''t want to say anything that could affect him later in life," Preston added.
Scientologist believe that all the traumatic experiences and words in life are recorded in the subconscious including a child''s memories of his or her own birth.
Michelle Seward, a Los Angeles financial planner and Scientologist who had a silent birth, told Reuters, "We''re not trying to achieve absolute silence necessarily. And if the mother has to have an epidural, that''s OK."
The baby will be the first for Holmes, best known for the TV show "Dawson''s Creek," and the first biological child for twice-married Cruise. He adopted two children with actress Nicole Kidman before their marriage ended in divorce in 2001.
Cruise and Holmes have yet to announce a wedding date after a whirlwind romance starting in April last year that was played out on television and paraded before the world media.
The once intensely private Cruise was mocked for a manic couch-hopping appearance on "the Oprah Winfrey" show in May in which he effusively declared his love for Holmes. A month later he announced their engagement at a news conference in France.

You are so right......of course Joseph Smith (founder of Mormonism) said that he planned to write a book that would sell more copies than the Bible and proceeded to write the Book of Mormon....he believed that "trillions of planets scattered throughout the cosmos are ruled by countless gods who once were human like us." I think L. Ron Hubbard was beat to the punch. If Katie has already had her baby and is walking around with a prosthetic beach ball under her blouse then she has a lower I.Q. than I previously believed.
