I don't necessarily like Scientology nor would I ever recommend it to anyone, however... they have a great recovery rate for helping addicts. That alone deserves my respect.
People may say it's a brainwash,all about money and yadda, yadda, yadda, but in all honesty, my opinion is that many organized religions are.
In most cases it has been my experience if I go to a Baptist church, Catholic church, Jewish synogogue, two things stand out:
a) if you do not believe as they do you are shunned and looked upon with suspicion
b) they are constantly trying to get money from me.
Those have been my experiences, so in that aspect Scientology is no different.
I wish Katie Holmes the best of luck, if this is the road she chooses to travel perhaps there is a reason for it.

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
