Actor Tom Cruise tried to recruit both soccer player David Beckham and his wife Victoria, as well as many other celebrities, to nurture new followers of the controversial Church of Scientology<\/strong>that kind of hybrid between religious faith and devotion to the empirical that has been described as a sect for its hermeticism and for the absolute dedication to which its faithful are subjected.<\/p>\n

That is what emerges from a new book that delves into the ins and outs of the organization, written by none other than Mike Rinder, who was a high position of this cult. In ‘A Billion Years: My Escape From a Life in the Highest Ranks of Scientology’, the author not only lists the endless abuses of authority that are part of the very nature of the institution, or his decision to escape from that particular ecosystem<\/strong>but also details the public image strategy developed by his acolytes to popularize his beliefs among the public.<\/p>\n

In the work, Rinder assures that to persuade the former Real Madrid and Manchester United player, the Hollywood star would have promised him that he would promote the construction of a professional soccer field<\/strong> so that he could train normally: all this at the entity’s headquarters in California.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cTom did everything in his power to attract celebrities, beyond those he worked with. Perhaps the most famous were David and Victoria Beckham<\/strong>. Although it never happened in the end, it is said that the stadium began to be built in Gold [como se denomina a la base de operaciones californiana] and a person responsible for his care was chosen. It was going to be built for the sole purpose that Tom could convince his friend David of his to visit them more often, \u201dnotes Rinder in an excerpt from his tome.<\/p>\n
