Celebrity Scientologists

Anne's son Tom Davis is the spokesperson for the Church of Scientology.

In her own words... "Scientology makes people free, sane and able. It makes it possible to be more oneself, with the ability to create and change anything being a natural and expected phenomenon. It puts you at cause over your life and makes it easy for you to take responsibility not only for your own life, but for the world.

Scientology is sanity and if people who aren’t in Scientology knew just how sane their lives could be, they would run to find out about it."

Beck is married to a fellow Scientologist, Marissa Ribisi, Giovanni's twin sister.

Earlier this year, he was linked to the double suicide of artists Theresa Duncan and Jeremy Blake. They accused the Church of Scientology of harassment because of their "friendship" with Beck. The link above is to an article in Vanity Fair Jan 08 - explaining his connection with the couple, which was fairly insignificant.

In his own words.... "The single greatest thing that studying Scientology has done for me is that it’s helped me become freer. Freer to create life as I want to, without being thrown off from my objectives. One of the first simple successes was that I learned to handle and remove my own self-imposed barriers and restraints. Through further study, my ability to handle life around me also increased. This freedom has been hard won, but the rewards are great.

My study of Scientology has also enabled me to write more music. I have become quicker and am able to use all of the musical abilities that I already have. I gained a new understanding of what the proper importances are in the process of creating music.

Scientology has helped me to live better. Using the basic principles of Scientology has become a natural way of life for me. From Scientology I've gotten a freedom to learn whatever I want to learn in life and I'm gaining new abilities all the time.

In his own words.... "I have been acting since age 4. I have always been working and I have always been in Scientology my entire life. (I was born into it.) Each service in Scientology is something I have added to my tool box of data for living.

The Purification Rundown lifted a cloud off my head and enabled me to think and see clearly.

Before I finished another level of Scientology auditing, I had a very hard time with being wrong and I always had to have my own way – and not in a good sense. After auditing, I was able to have my thoughts, communicate them and not have to be right all the time.

Then the Life Orientation Course defined even more clearly what I needed to do to stay on target with my goals and not waver into other things.

I have to say that one of the most important things Scientology has given me is the ability to keep my integrity together. I understand how people can get into unethical situations, and Scientology has always helped me keep my head clear and be in present time. I have been able to see situations for what they are."

In his own words "Scientology is simple. The better you know something the more capable you become. And when that something is yourself, things get better and the quality of life improves. Scientology has helped me realize the full range of my potential and ability as an artist and a person. I am more productive and better able to handle responsibility. At the same time I feel a greater sense of freedom and appreciation of life. I am a happier person in my marriage, my career and my associations with others."

In his own words.... "There is a certain aspect of Scientology that helped me stay on my own path in creating life as a new game.

It is important to be able to handle the different considerations and viewpoints of those around you about your career and your life — about your dreams. These things become the subject of other people's opinions and intentions, both good and bad.

Scientology has given me certainty of myself. I have the ability to comfortably communicate with anyone in any situation and be certain of my own goals."

In his own words... "Scientology is the gateway to eternity. It is the path to happiness and total spiritual freedom. Until one has experienced the technology of Scientology it’s unlikely that one will ever experience these wonderful discoveries. I know because it has worked for me. The more time and effort I invest, the more I receive. I highly recommend it."

In her own words... "In other philosophies, my questions would get answered to some degree, but then I would have a follow-up question and there would be no answer. The logic would dead-end. In Scientology you can find answers for anything you could ever think to ask. These are not pushed off on you as, “This is the answer, you have to believe in it.” In Scientology you discover for yourself what is true for you.

No one is telling you. You gain your own knowledge of what is true for you. And so your ability to communicate, your ability to be certain about yourself and to know what your purposes, intentions and goals are, become much stronger. Scientology is about regaining total cause over your own life."

In his own words.... "In January of 1975 I was working on my first film in Durango, Mexico. There I met an actress who gave me the book Dianetics. During the five weeks we were filming she gave me some auditing sessions and applied some basic principles. That was when I became involved in Dianetics – because it worked.

When I returned to the United States I began Scientology training and auditing. My career immediately took off and I landed a leading role on the TV show “Welcome Back Kotter” and had a string of successful films. I have been a successful actor for more than twenty years and Scientology has played a major role in that success.

I have a wonderful child and a great marriage because I apply L. Ron Hubbard’s technology to this area of my life.

As a Scientologist, I have the technology to handle life’s problems and I have used this to help others in life as well.

I would say that Scientology put me into the big time."

In her own words.... "I am no longer stuck in the bottomless pit of despair and apathy. Having achieved the state of Clear is the single most important thing that I've done for myself. It has allowed me to experience life in a way I only imagined."

In her own words... "The main thing that has really impressed me about Scientology is that there is the most brilliant tech for anything and everything in your life. I’ve become a more powerful individual with increased abilities. I never even conceived that I could experience these kinds of gains prior to Scientology.

There is a way to handle every part of life with Scientology, and a way to exist that is far beyond any dream that you could ever dream. All of my dreams keep becoming realities and that’s very exciting!

Through Scientology, things happen a lot quicker. What used to take weeks or months sometimes happens in days or even minutes!

Life is at my fingertips and with Scientology I’ve found I can have or be whatever I want."

In her own words.... "To tell you the honest-to-God truth: without Scientology, I would be dead. So, I can personally highly recommend it."

In her own words.... "Scientology has been my road out. There is nothing about my life that I feel apathetic or unhappy about. Scientology gives you hope and the certainty that you can improve any condition. This, to me, is priceless."

In her own words.... "L Ron Hubbard researched man and has carefully and precisely mapped a route out of the madness, misery and unwanted conditions one can encounter in life. When applied exactly, the technology produces incredible results. Those results are very definite and eternal.

Were it not for Scientology, I would either be completely insane or dead by now. I am forever grateful for the technology of Scientology and to Mr. Hubbard who dedicated his life to helping man and this planet, as well as to the people who have dedicated their lives to helping others through Scientology."

In her own words.... "I sought out other solutions, I tried other philosophies and never found one that really indicated the truth to me. Scientology presented precepts to me that really made me feel like I had found, at last, the guidelines that I had been searching for.

Before Scientology I had one dream of making a living, doing voice-overs for animation. After I became a Scientologist my abilities expanded so far and above what I originally dreamed for myself that I’ve amazed even myself at my enormous increase of abilities.

I’ve won an Emmy, a platinum and a gold album. I’ve written and starred in a one–woman show and I have a bright future as a producer.

I’ve got two beautiful children, an incredibly supportive husband, a staff working with me for the same future dreams and goals, and all of this is because I became a Scientologist."
