Isabella Cruise is proving that the Church of Scientology doesn't hold a candle to true love. Tom Cruise's older daughter (with wife Nicole Kidman) and her boyfriend Eddie Frencher (yes, that's really his last name) are now engaged. That doesn't sound like unusual news all by itself—but keep in mind that Frencher quit Scientology's elite sect known as Sea Org—and therefore Isabella, being a Scientologist, shouldn't be having anything to do with him.
According to a report from RadarOnline, both Isabella and Frencher grew up in the organization, where children begin h
earing at a very young age that they should join Sea Org. When one signs on with Sea Org, they sign a 'billion year contract.'
After Frencher joined Sea Org, Isabella was told by head Scientologists to either join Sea Org herself or to break up with Frencher. In the end, Frencher only lasted five months in Sea Org and now a member of his family confirms that he not only left Sea Org—he left the church. The source also confirms that the two are in fact engaged.
What will this mean for Isabella Cruise? Will Tom Cruise pressure his daughter to break off her engagement with Frencher? Will he try to convince Frencher to make amends with the Church of Scientology?
The whole thing sounds incredibly controlling and many young couples will choose true love over a 'religion' that requires them to give up many other facets of their lives. Hopefully no one will put too much pressure on Isabella Cruise, and she will be able to make the choices that young women her age need and want to make.

I can relate a bit though, having taken a series of very expensive classes from an outfit called "Great life", which is kind of Scientology-esque you might say. You pay money to be forced against your will to have profound experiences with other people, which can be a legitimate thing to do in a society where social primates tend to be ensconsed into metal and plastic bubbles hurling down freeways. Just don't confuse the profound experiences with other people with the corporation that provides the service, is all I admonish. Especially when the corporation gets to be run by some evil shysters such as run Scientology.
Did you catch Terry Gross' Fresh Air on Thursday? She interviewed an author who's just written a book on founder L. Ron Hubbard. What a tortured soul. I have to feel some compassion for the guy as I listened to some of his self-affirmations - "I shall not feel shame about masturbation." I can't even imagine what that must be like. Well, maybe just a little bit.
