Will Is All For Scientology

Posted by Bossip Staff

Will Smith Legend

Would you recruit for a church if you weren’t a member?

Will Smith has joined the ranks of Hollywood power players actively recruiting for the Church of Scientology. Smith, who is best buddies with Scientology booster Tom Cruise, has never confirmed that he joined the church. But he told “Access Hollywood” last month: “I was introduced to it by Tom, and I’m a student of world religion. I was raised in a Baptist household. I went to a Catholic school, but the ideas of the Bible are 98% the same ideas of Scientology, 98% the same ideas of Hinduism and Buddhism.”

There you go, some fun Scientology facts for you this morning.

  4. Bones Jordan, I'm sick yall

    Who cares? Will is the man, leave him and his spirituality alone.

  5. Blacksmith

    Who cares, he can worship whomever and whatever he wants. You don’t go to the movies to see him worship, you go to see him act. Next!

  6. backyard

    Booooooooooooooooooo

  7. arasiam

    Who gives a flying…Bossip! That will probably enhance his star power. It worked for Travolta and Cruise.

  8. Ibn

    SMH I guess its ok as long as you acknowledge god.

  9. kai

    Actually Scientology has theology in it…Crazy ass teachings..if you get sick they will want you to take no medicine and work off your sickness even if it means you have cancer lol…

  10. justme

    good luck with all that Will


  11. Rat Poison is 98% good food… Only 2% poison. Be careful what you eat Will.

  12. NubianGoddez

    Well it was only a matter of time, considering he’s also in a bearded marriage. well as long as he’s not worshiping satan, he can commune with the aliens for all I care. just keep making good movies because one more wild wild west fuckery and you will get shown the hand. like that punk ass Wesley QVC velvet suit wearing Snipes.

    Before ya’ll talk about what scientology is read up on it first. I hate the ignorance on these sites. Being one religion does make that one better than the other and that is probably why most people are trying to distance themselves form the church half the time.

    I’m not even totally sure what it is about but I’m not gonna knock it. A religion is a religion to me. If ya’ll gonna care about relgion then check out all the tv characters from all the shows/movies/videos ya’ll watch.

    Bunch of phonies. How many of them even discuss their faith. None b/c they want the cheddar.

    I will say though scientology must be a rich thing b/c i only hear of rich people involved in it.

    As far as not taking medicines they are right about that just like Jehovah witness about blood trasfusions. America lets the drug companies with money basically do what they want. Just because the US had approved it does not make it safe. look at the toys and the foods getting shipped across the country. America ia about making money and the gov. and drug companies are no different. the more stuff youtake the more a chance of developing something else which leads to more meds for you and more money for America and the drug company.

    If you are a true beliver anyway why not depend on God instead of drugs created by man. Oh here take some morphine and codeine.. so forth. That stuff is not right for our bodies.

    Will seems like a good person overall so what will that say about his relgion.

  15. reality

    martin lawrence is way funnier, way more truth. he must pull stunts like these to keep getting silly ass roles. somebody give him a script, a character with base

  16. Richard

    I don’t care what type of moral code people have as long as they follow it.

    if I had a dollar for every time some backwoods preacher laid hands …..

  17. dayg715

    so will smith is a sellout after all.

    *******************************************

    Couple problems – unlike other major world religions you CAN’T read up on Scientology. There are several holy books, each one significantly more expensive than the next, and they are only available to church members.

    About only celebrities being involved – their church is called the Scientology Celebrity Centre. They openly court the rich. Most religions ask you to give 10%. Scientology asks for tens of thousands of dollars to pass from one level to the next; Tom Cruise and Travolta have each spent tens of millions

    There was an interesting article about the religion in Rolling Stone a year or so ago, but I can’t find the link. But there is one key thing I remember – you only find out the true beliefs of the religion after you are a certain number of levels in, which would be like joining the Catholic church, being baptized, performing the sacraments and THEN finding out that Jesus is the son of God.

    WHO CARES!

    JUST KEEP MAKIN’ THOSE BANGIN ASS MOVIES WILL!

  20. Anonymous3

    well from my understanding part of the Scientology religion is accepting that we were either once Aliens or have been taken over by Aliens at some point and yes there are levels that you have to advance to, each level costing more and more money…

  21. Sister Sam (Free MJB)

    God gonna strike his big eared ass down

    Praise Him

  22. V

    Well…I’m just glad that Hitler mess got cleared up. They say don’t talk about religion & politics in mixed company – guess er’body’s like fk it.

    Hell…fk it. So long as he’s not swinging around a bloody chicken or over paying tithes…

  23. Rotex

    This is so bad, what is the world coming to?

  24. Rotex

    Im not surprised by all this. In the Bible it DOES say that near the end of time, Jesus’ coming, all these things are going to be happening. Water has already washed up on land (Tsunami) and there are lots more to come.

    Later on in the future, the government are going to start puting chips (like computer chips) in people’s wrist (i don’t know what for but it was in a book i heard of), and the bible states all of these things.

    I aint gonna lie, this world seems very scary with all these ‘devilish’ acts going on. I even heard Christmas is a pagan festival. Ask for more info if u want some. I definately believe in GOD.

  25. andie

    There goes another one. SMH.

    But Will was a goner a long time ago anyway.

    Now that I think about it, I Am Legend was a little scientology-esque.

  26. DR. FUNK

    XENU claims another one.Wonder what kinky shit came out in his AUDIT.(?)

  27. Rotex

    Yeah, ‘I Am Legend’ was kinda scientologists.

  28. Rotex

    Especially when he tells the woman that there is no God when she tells him that God spoke to her.

  29. chill will

    Everyone says “Ah who cares if he’s a scientologist… i like his movies” BLAa bla.. People need to grow a pair and start calling it what it is, A Cult. Plain and simple. Movie stars are notoriously empty inside and need to fill a void with watever is most expensive. Remember all the hollywoodites and Kabala? Same sh1t.

  30. Sammy J. Parker

    I’m not surprised…this is such garbage… Will and Jada seem so very proud of their friendship with Tom Cruise. It was insane, watching them in the photos for that party they threw for the Beckhams…Victoria was demonstratively ignoring Jada in most of the footage… And, I’ve seen her doing the same thing to Eva Langoria. What I don’t understand is why it matters? Who aspires to be someone’s friend, if not in some opportunistic way? It’s so high school… You can appreciate Tom as a friend without adopting his religion…which is what Will maintained he would do, even saying his Granny would turn over in her grave if she even thought he would be a Scientologist but it seems he’s too obsessed with Tom Cruise to resist being proselytized. It’s all such prepubescent BS, too…

  31. Scientologist

    Why is my faith any more a cult than your christianity trash? Because it bamboozled more followers?

  32. Rotex

    ‘Scientologist’ Because scientologisism is garbage. Their beliefs and faith or whatever is bullcrap. The bible speaks nothing but the truth, and scientologisism is just one of the revelations of the bible. Get ur facts straight about christianity before you judge it.

  33. Sammy J. Parker

    Scientologist, is there any truth to the rumor that your founder “invented” the organization to dupe the IRS? It’s a rumor that he claimed to be using his Mom’s basement as a church site.


  34. jesus take the wheel…For Real…

  35. Scientologist

    Your one is manmade too, no better or worse. At least mine is on key with success and progress. Look who we count amongst our number while the meek christian billions largely suffer in squalor.

  36. PRTTYBRWNGIRL

    bossip … what do yall have against telling the truth?! huh?! i read the article and he was talking about people giving him crap about being friends w/ tom cruise who is a known scientologist .. he said just because he is a christian doesnt mean that they cant be friends or that he needs to beat him with his bible THEN he made that statement. this is why people like denzel do not give sound bites or quotes. stupid ambitious reporters who wanna misquote and leave out shit and give a totally different meaning to what they were saying. yall acting like that new york post reporter who flat out lied on him.. get yall act together

    * i love yall bossip… please dont fake MJB me :)

  37. Rotex

    ‘Scientologist’ like i said, get to know about christianity before u open ur mouth. Ur starting to sound ril stupid now. Who said christians don’t suffer? It is written clearly in the bible, what are u talkin about. If everyone was meant to be born in good conditions, what is the point of heaven and hell then. We have to go through trials for God to see if we are worthy of heaven. That is why there are temptations. Get to know bro, get to know.

  38. Rotex

    I hope it aint true PRTTYBRWNGIRL

  39. Sista Momo

    @PRTTYBRWNGIRL

    Thanks for the info b/c I was about to finally disown Will.

  40. Scientologist

    You have what men wrote in your rulebook and I have what a man wrote in mine. I prefer mine you prefer yours.

    We scientologists are an intelligent elite, not for the ignorant many to follow. They have their dusty old fashioned traditions that speak of the past. We are the future.

  41. Rotex

    Sista Momo i feel u. I was about to do the same.

  42. Sista Momo

    Oh gimme that old__ time religion. Gimme that old___ time religion. Gimme that old___time religion___ it’s good enought for me.

  43. Rotex

    ‘Scientologist’ Im not trying to cuss u, but it is actually stupid people that will believe in scientologisism. It makes no sense, the person that created it must have been watching too many sci-fi movies, and it just leads to no where.

    Seriously i will advice you to open your mind to what im saying, and get to know about christianity. It is not man made. It is based on experiences from God. Not that Im perfect, but i just find it funny how people dont believe in God. Ok, where do you think dreams come from? They are revelations, or do you think that they are formed from micro organisms or aliens? Lol!

    Not even only dreams. Things like karma and a lot more. So u think they are micro organisms or aliens rite?

  44. Scientologist

    I prefer Hubbard’s stories to the stories in your fairytale book, sorry about that. Aliens are much more likely to exist than omnipotent gods. Your understanding of karma, dreams etc well it shows no understanding. At all.

    Rather than me picking up the bible maybe you should pick up a few science textbooks and dare to go past the “evolution is just a theory” warning stickers this time.

  45. Rotex

    Do u know wat, may God help you. And it is not gods its God. There are things that science can not even explain anyway, which some of them i hav mentioned above. Il advice you to read the revelations book of the bible, and you will see that the visions have started taking place already.

    Get to know more about the natsi, which the bible refers to in revellations. Im sure ur concept of christianity is happy ending and everything good, and since u don’t see that, u don’t belive in it. Physics may not be religious, but ask anyone and they will tell u there is a God.

    “Will Smith boosting Scientology

    Wednesday, January 9th 2008, 4:00 AM

    Pizzello/Reuters

    Will Smith and Tom Cruise

    Will Smith has joined the ranks of Hollywood power players actively recruiting for the Church of Scientology.

    Big stars traditionally distribute “wrap presents” to crew members after completing a film. His recent gift after wrapping next summer’s comedy “Hancock” was a card good for a personality test at your local Scientology center.

    Fun!

    Never mind that such tests are given free by the church anyway. The quiz is designed to convert people to the religion by identifying personality flaws that – surprise! – Scientology can fix right up for you.

    For a fee, of course.

    Smith, who is best buddies with Scientology booster Tom Cruise, has never confirmed that he joined the church. But he told “Access Hollywood” last month: “I was introduced to it by Tom, and I’m a student of world religion. I was raised in a Baptist household. I went to a Catholic school, but the ideas of the Bible are 98% the same ideas of Scientology, 98% the same ideas of Hinduism and Buddhism.”

    Presumably the other 2% is the part about the evil space emperor who put the hydrogen bombs in the volcano.

    Smith’s rep was traveling with the actor on Tuesday and unavailable for comment.”

  48. California Pixie

    To each his own. If it works for you roll on. I don’t knock the beliefs of another.

    I can’t co-sign on the not taking meds part because it’s not good for our body. Let me know how you fare when you have a cesarean, ACL repair or serious ass migraine. When be miserable with a cold when there’s something available to relieve you.

  49. Shay

    They must have a mile of dirt on him. After he made that “my grandma would turn over in her grave if I became Scientologist” comment I think they sent the snoops to get him.

    Don’t believe me? They save all the info that people who take the Scientology tests and seminars give them. So if a certain star is gay and they join to “cure” them being gay they keep that info. If you try to leave or even distance yourself they will put your business out there. Ron L Hubbard even had his wife infiltrate the IRS. They’ll do whatever it takes even telling lies to get you to shut up or change your tune.


  50. boo bossip…

  51. EZ Rawlins

    “And another gone,

    And another gone,

    Another one bites the dust.

    Hey, it’s gonna get you, too

    Another one bites the dust…”

  52. playlist

    i think scientology might be a hollywood cult

  53. Shannon

    Will has just sold his soul to the devil..all for what??? to be more famous. Get real. Your salvation is more important than making bank…I guess he won’t wake up when the horn blows??

  54. jj

    the only way is the bible way, if folks take the time understand what God means to say then there would be no mess but too many of us want to take half of the bible flip and spit out rubbish, that include some Christians themselves, too many fake ministers coming up too many read my book when the bible is all you need, if it ain’t from the bible then it aint happening

  55. Deductive Reasoning

    For the record, in that interview, Will Smith never said that he subscribed to the philosophies of Scientology. What he said was no one should knock a religion if they don’t know anything about it…once again bad journalism and misconstrued quotes…I guess you have to do that to make it seem interesting, but it just seems to go against everything we are taught as journalists, especially black jounalists. It seems like we would go much further in our research to make sure our stories were tite…


  56. That’s doo-doo. Mr. Smith seems to forget that one of the fundamental beliefs in Scientology involves aliens…and no that can’t be spun into some ‘Oh we’re all spiritual beings who will return to’ yada-yada-yada when we die. Scientologists actually believe we’re aliens from other planets. And what’s up with these ‘world religions’ that don’t require you to sacrifice anything, i.e., to repent? You know, give up fornicating, drunkenness, gluttony — all that good stuff that keeps us down? If it’s too easy and any body can do it, then there can’t be that much truth to it.


  57. Dear Deductive Reasoning:

    Shaddup! You’re an obvious plant. Move on.

  58. Snacksize

    @ROTEX

    I wasn’t going to post but your comment made me laugh and it was a long day at work. Thanks

    “Ok, where do you think dreams come from? They are revelations, or do you think that they are formed from micro organisms or aliens? Lol!” – ROTEX

  59. Sugar Whynot

    dreams come from your subconcious but I have heard that dreams are God talking to you while he has your attention. Not sure how that explains some of the XXX dreams that I’ve had.

  60. Machine

    Will is the greatest! Some of his fans are discussing him on ‘rich kiss . com’. In order to communicate with each other freely they set up a group there. They can email, chat, share pics there.

  61. sello

    who cares, poeple are scared of what they dont know.off topic: ive always thought of will as old, but he change all that in I AM LEGEND.the nigga is banging, damn he ages well!!!!!!!!

  62. kai

    “If you are a true beliver anyway why not depend on God instead of drugs created by man. Oh here take some morphine and codeine.. so forth. That stuff is not right for our bodies.”-truself

    @truself, what world do you live in where you dont want to take medicine. This isnt utopia.. Medicine is made for medical purposes, not for recreation. When it gets to that point then its abuse. We do need it..

    Sammy J-”duping the IRS”. I feel you, I might want to join if thats the case, but im not in for any barbaric teachings.

    Scientologists believe the older we get, the closer we get to divinity, but…there is no ONE GOD!

  63. Sa

    He’s hot.

  64. circa-81

    @ Rotex.

    Start thinking for yourself!

  65. Rotex

    ‘Circa-81′- Why should i start thinking for myself.

  66. Rotex

    ‘Snacksize’ – You feel me though don’t you? Its just ridiculous man!


  67. BOYCOTT THESE IDIOTS. Not only is he making comments about Jews and insulting them by bigging up Hitler, but then then retracts his statement thinking that people are simply stupid and can’t go online to see the truth.

    He also said he wants to be president. Uh, heeeell nooo! I would NEVER vote to let one of those crazy Scientologist NUTS in my White House. Can you even imagine how they would twist the judicial system?! Nuh-UH! I knew somethin was up with that last movie he made……. “I can save you. Let me help you”. This wacko and his REALLY BIZARRE WIFE (Is she even Black anymore?) are really starting to believe the scripts they read. IT IS ONLY SCIENCE FICTION, Will. I have really had enough of these idiots. I am throwing away all my Will Smith DVDS. HE just lost another fan. I’ll be damned if I’ma sit back while this FOOL starts popping this madness. Tom and John can go screw themselves. Can you even believe that Katie holmes is KNOCKED UP WITH L. RON HUBBARD’S SPERM?! That’s some sick sh*t. It’s like Rosemary’s Baby. I’m really through with his bisexual ass, and Jada’s one turkey-basting-sperm-donor FOOL.


  68. Amazing, i found his profile on blackgirlsconnect.com. As a super movie star, he was dating girls there also. Nothing strange,is there anybody don’t wanna meet hot beautiful black girls??

    LOL, i will jion his friends circle there to check our.

  69. Sayitaintso

    IN THE LAST DAYS THERE WILL BE FALSE PROPHETS SEEKING UNBELIEVERS.DO NOT BE BEGUILED BY MONEY & FAME, FOR IT CANNOT GET U INTO HEAVEN. THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE GOD. REPENTING OF SINS& ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS
