Katie Holmes has reportedly dropped a bombshell on her husband Tom Cruise by announcing her intention to quit Scientology.
Buoyed by her new-found independence in New York, Katie finally took the plunge and told Tom of her plans to turn her back on the religion after beginning to question some of its rules and practices.
Now friends say that the star couple's marriage may be facing a crisis as strict Scientologist Tom contemplates having to tone down the rules he has reportedly laid down to raise daughter Suri, 2.
"Katie got bold and told Tom that she's ready to leave the religion," claims a friend. "Tom is worried and now their marriage may have to change in a lot of ways."
According to some former Scientology members, anyone who leaves the church must be disconnected from current members, including their spouses and children…

Hi Martin :)
yes, if the part about Katie leaving Scientology is true, it certainly puts another nail in the coffin of the cult. Lets wait and see.....
Good to see they got the part about disconnection because that certainly is true.

Yeah....it all depends on "If It's true". Even if it's just a rumor, what do you bet Katie is in for some "church" counseling with implied threats of losing Tom and/or her daughter.

Yes, I think it's genuine. Please do get a copy and let us know what's in the remainder of the article.
They're not 100% accurate: It is a high crime to ~publicly~ depart Scientology. But in this case, I guess it would qualify as a public departure if it's true.

If true, it could be huge. Perhaps the presence of Anonymous made her realize there is support out here for her plight. Then again, maybe it's just wishful thinking, but she reportedly kicked out TC's family from their mansion, evicting them to infest the CC.
This would all be really great if it happened...Katie leaves Scientology, takes her little muffin child and blows!
Her friends and family will move quickly to her support, and I'm not talkin about her new BFF, Jessica Rodriguez...

Yanno, it's HER fuckin daughter! It might not even share DNA with the top gun mollusc. And whatever the hell they made her sign before hooking up with the heterosexual Tom Cruise...well, it might not be legally binding, like so many of their other "contracts" imposed on adherents.
