MADRID, Spain - Actor Tom Cruise said Scientology teachings helped him overcome childhood dyslexia, a Spanish magazine reported.
Cruise was quoted by Spanish magazine XL Semanal as saying he was diagnosed with the learning disability when he was 7 years old.
Cruise said he was often anxious, frustrated and bored as a youth and couldn't concentrate in class, the magazine reported on its Web site Sunday.
The magazine quoted Cruise as saying he was functionally illiterate when he graduated from school in 1980, but learned to read perfectly as an adult through Scientology technology.
XL Semanal said the interview was conducted in Los Angeles, but did not say when. A transcript of Cruise's original comments in English was not available.
The Church of Scientology was established in 1945 by science-fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, and claims 10 million members around the world. Cruise and fellow actor John Travolta among its more famed followers.

I'm almost certain that he's publicly stated many, many times that Scientology helped cure his dyslexia. This is not news.

How much money does the cure cost?

2500 thetanpoints.

aren't they supposed to be secretive about it?
no, only about certain "higher-level" aspects.
-
They court celebrities and give them special treatment so they can spread the word (well, that and give them money). Tom Cruise is doing what they want him to.

But he still can't pray the gay away.

That and he's #2 in charge of the cult worldwide now. If anything happens to Miscavage, he becomes the leader.

Maybe he meant "Mother taught me how to read" but his dyslexica kicked in and he put Xenu instead of Mother?
quoting to prevent you from editing out what was no doubt not an ironic misspelling of 'dyslexia' :p

Xenu is awesome, I asked jesus to teach me math and the asshole didn't even answer me.

yes

I met a guy in L.A. who swears that his gay friend fucked Tom Cruise UTA. I'm not sure what to believe regarding that one. Do you think he really swings from that side of the plate?
Tom Cruise is totally gay.
Katie Holmes and that baby(it isn't a human baby, by the way) are just covers. Behind closed doors, he's doing tons of gay shit. Like hooking a car battery up to his nipples while he gets fucked in the ass by those dildo machines you see on those freaky websites.
:rofl I wish I wasn't twice as fucked up as you at that age. I once made 99 yahoo email accounts just to send Peter Moore angry E-Mails after the demise of the Dreamcast. I later used those same accounts to send Ziff Davis angry E-Mails after the cancellation of XBN.

Yes. I'm pretty sure you don't set fire to things just for the hell of it.
