Defamer
We've become just about as well-versed as we want to when it comes to the bizarre practices of Scientologists, which run the gamut from silent birth to e-meters. But after hearing that Katie Holmes' precious little Suri is still on the baby bottle even after turning 2 years old, and that fellow Scientologist mommy Leah Remini's "sweet witty pain in the ass" 3-year old Sophia still drinks six bottles a night, we discovered some disturbing tales from other members of the cult religion who used "Hubbard's baby formula," only to wind up with "thin and colicky" toddlers that had their "baby teeth destroyed" and "screamed themselves to death." But as the defiant Remini says in this clip, "I could see her drinkig a bottle 'til she's 16." More details on Hubbard's toxic formula that was developed using methods from Ancient Rome (!!!) after the jump.

On a segment from the Rachael Ray show a few weeks back, a visibly exhausted and seemingly brainwashed Remini told viewers in the most melancholy of tones how addicted her daughter Sophia is to "the baba." And if self-professed Scientologist Remini is following the religion's doctrines correctly, this means she is obeying founder L. Ron Hubbard's instructions to never breastfeed and, instead, feed babies a mixture consisting of barley water, homogenized milk, and oodles of sugar-heavy honey. But this is hardly the scary part. You see, Hubbard, who we must note claimed he had visited Heaven several times during his life, also claimed he discovered this baby formula after magically traveling back in time to hang out in ancient Rome: "I picked it up in Roman days and have used it since...Modern hospital formulas and patent mixes for babies are not just bad, they are criminal." While we're pretty sure that keeping one's baby on a proper nutritional diet is the furthest thing from criminal, we're equally sure that keeping the little ones sucking down Hubbard's formula well past their third birthday isn't doing any favors for the child's social development skills. As they say, this one is developing...

First of all, Leah Remini and her charmingly fey husband are REALLY crappy parents. And that house is beyond tacky. She should count her blessings for King of Queens. Hope that syndication cash keeps rollin' in lest the Jackie Collins dream will die.
Not breastfeeding huh? Well, there's an average of 5.6 IQ points shaved off of every Scientoligispawn.
Honey can be toxic to infants. I hope that's just an error. (I think they use corn syrup--not that that's healthy, either.)
...and honey is bad because it contains the botulism bacterium. Stupid scientologists!
[www.mayoclinic.com]
@valarmorghulis: I suppose that's so they don't develop the analytical skills to question all the cult crap they grow up with!
Not to mention that fact that honey is a big no-no for babies under one year because of the danger of botulism.
Wait till Leah has to listen to Sophia's screams from a pediatric periodontist chair! I'm guessing she already needs baby root canal. She wouldn't be the first to have to endure this because the parent's don't have the cubes to take the bottle away.
Ya know, do whatever you want to with your own stupid life, but when you start endangering your children like this, they should be taken away from you.
When is C0$ going to be treated as the criminal organization it really is?
Ugh, sorry for ranting, but kids in cults is the most disturbing thing for me.
@Coldwine: it's known as defective by design.
Cult or no cult...is she TRYING to raise a brat? Because she is following THAT recipe to the letter. Get a spine, lady, or that baby bottle will be the least of your worries in 10 years.
Uh, who wants to break the news to the cult members that Rome FELL cos they did a LOT of things wrong!!
They should cut that little porker down to 5 bottles a day.
6 bottles a night at age 3?? Um, Leah, you are officially a really shitty parent.
And whatever happened to the Leah I know and love? I mean, it's like the "Saved by the Bell" summer episodes never even happened. Talk about disillusioning.
Right, because I'm sure the ancient Romans didn't breastfeed. Riiiiiiight.
What a bunch of crap.
Supernanny Jo needed in the Remini household.
I visited Ancient Rome once. Nice place... wouldn't want to raise my kids there.
So, they're now literally and figuratively drinking the Kool-Aid?
"We're hearing that that's not good for her."
Seriously? You couldn't figure out for yourself that it's not normal for a 3 year old to drink 6 bottles a night?
Kids do not only function better with limits, Leah, they WANT limits. Strange as it may seem, kids actually don't want you to let them do everything, because it makes the world seem boundless and kind of scary. You don't have to become a nazi overnight, but, c'mon, say "no" once in a while.
So now the 'C'o$ has improved upon breast milk? And the sad part is that that is the lesser evil compared to Hubbard's toxic stupidity with which these children will be indoctrinated.
@traumamama: Seriously. I especially love her little sarcastic monologue in mimicking critique. My kid is the exact same age, and there are RARELY situations where I phrase things like "do you want to...?". I'm sorry what? You're the mom, you tell her to brush her teeth, not ask. You're a 3 year old's bitch. I wonder how high her cognitive dissonance is what with being clear and all.
Ever heard of the word "no", dumbass? She's probably one of those idiots who still pushes their 6 year old in a stroller at the mall. It's not Sophia's fault she's a pain the ass. It's mom and dad's.
Scientology is creepy, and I'm not a fan of King Of Queens, but some of these comments - most of you do not have kids, do you?
Right, enjoy your cosmos while you can. Later you can look back and laugh when you realize everything you thought about raising kids was completely fucking wrong (and that you are in fact, just like your parents)
@Dave J.: @Kali Mama: @disinterested 3rd party: Scitentologists believe children are adult "thetans" housed in child bodies.
So they let them do alot of stuff, excuse me - get away with alot of stuff. As long as they keep expelling those alien ghosts with their emeters and "auditing."
Wow. When I have kids, they will never, ever pull bullshit like that. Nor will they have honey, 'cause earth to wackos, it can kill little kids.
va-GENIE?!?!?
leave it to the scientologists to not be able to say vagina. oprah anyone?
ahem.
@Kali Mama: I wonder how high her cognitive dissonance is what with being clear and all.
You're learning their language. GASP - are you becoming one of them?
Any belief that preaches "breastfeeding = bad" is automatically retarded, IMO. And I'm not one of those titnazis (in fact, I'm not having children) who rants against formula. But to say it's bad MAKES NO SENSE. IT'S THE WHOLE REASON WHY WE HAVE BREASTS, YOU MORONS.
I'm sorry, but the Co$ makes me all caps-locky screamy.
Amazing how one requires a license to do just about anything these days except have children.
This is why they make sippy cups Leah Remini.
@bonsaiiiiii:No Sippycups, they are evil machinations of Xenu. It's a well known fact that many Thetans were holding their sippy cups for dear life when Xenu plunged their DC10-like spaceships into the volcanos. And you see what a big load of help those cups were then, eh?
What a little troll they're raising. Should make for exciting teen years, what with the little tot's love of sucking.
Numerous studies have proven that breast feeding is the best thing for a baby. That said, that toddler is no baby. Time to move onto whole foods, but please set boundaries, Leah. I'd hate to see your little monster on an episode of Maury with the other 70 pound 3 year olds.
@Tiger_Tanaka: Elaborate, Tiger.
I have kids and I tell them no. And they cry and throw tantrums. Then they get it together and move on. Never saying no to your kids isn't spoiling them, it's spoiling yourself.
@disinterested 3rd party: I guess I'm just not judgmental enough to slam someone else's parenting skills based on two minutes of excerpted video from a daytime talk show, combined with hearsay about what she does, in fact, feed her child. But that's just me.
@Miss Smith Drank Your Vodka: This is also why children are spoken to like adults, begin the process of becoming clear at a young age and are virtually undisciplined. @A Nooner For Nina: You are not the only thinking this. Honestly, I might not think she is fully in it, but she is profiting from it somehow.
Can you get away with anything as long as it's in the name of religion?
Josef Fritzl should have just said that incest is one of the cornerstones of his beliefs. He would have gotten away with it, i'm sure.
@Tiger_Tanaka:Yea, well I have a lot of kids, I am not their bitch, and I know what the hell I'm talking about. Guess what, even if the other commentors don't, they are on the right track!
@Tiger_Tanaka: Ummmm Tiger? That's what we do here.
That aside, she blatantly says that her kid drinks six bottles a night. I could have judged her on that without the video evidence.
So, Reuters reported today that breastfed kids are 5% smarter than kids fed on real formula (not this shit), which probably takes yet another 5% off the IQ.
[www.reuters.com]
So this means that Scientologists want their kids to be too stupid to figure out they're being raised in a cult. Big surprise.
I'm pretty sure L.Ron was partnered up originally with Anton LeVey from the church of satan...then they had a fallingout over power/control and L.Ron started his own thing. On a side note, I went to a school in Europe which was an offshoot of CEDU which came from Sinanon, well the point is, the "camp' that Katie Holmes was sent to ( star mag ) well, we had "workshops" that sounded alot like what Star said she did, the sleep deprivation, minimal food, purging your secrets. Some weird shit was being created out in LA in the seventies.
Did any of us see the show about Leah planning and having her wedding?
During that show Leah was a self-centered, controlling, ego maniac.
Insert 'fruit doesn't fall far ..' saying here.
Also, someone needs to punch her husband in the face. He's enabling her bad tendencies, and doesn't appear to be a partner in raising their daughter. They've totally got one of those "Mommy's Little Princess" things going on, and that can only lead to the world's cattiest/bitchiest teenage daughter. This girl is going to be an absolute nightmare at age 14--they'll look back to her childhood as the golden years.
@c-tas: My husband has a theory that Le Vey was responsible for L.Ron's demise. Probably disolved his remains in lye in true psychopathic fashion.
@Tiger_Tanaka: I have kids, and...no. The comments here are pretty spot on, because Leah Remini is fucking delusional if she thinks she's being a good parent to her child.
@disinterested 3rd party: Ummmm, I guess I miss the old days, when people used to be funny when they were judgmental - that's how we used to do it here.
@valarmorghulis: None to smart to begin with THAT crew. Especially if they swallow (heee) Hubbard's bullsquick.
