Former Tom Cruise Friend Slams Scientology

Tom Cruise's former friend and Scientologist Jason Beghe is now out of the religion and now speaking out against it. It's pretty interesting to hear what he has to say, even if he does drop like 30 F-bombs.

Beghe, who was a member of the Church of Scientology for 13 years and was even featured in a promotional video for the church in 2005, now says, "Scientology is destructive and a rip-off."

In the video, billed as a three-minute teaser to a longer interview that's on its way, Beghe goes on to say, "It's very, very dangerous for your spiritual, psychological, mental, emotional health and evolution. I think it stunts your evolution. If Scientology is real, then something's [bleeped] up . . . It ain't delivering what it's promised. It sure has not."

Beghe wasn't just a peon in the church. The actor, who's best friends with David Duchovny, spent a lot of money to make it to the coveted "OT 5" level achieved by Cruise, John Travolta and Kirstie Alley.

But Beghe now warns, "The further up the bridge, the worse you get . . . I don't have an agenda. I'm just trying to help. I have the luxury of having gotten into Scientology and after having been in it, been out. And that's a perspective that people who are still in and not out do not have."
