(Jan. 15) -- The video that Scientology apparently didn't want you to see is back again for your perusal on Gawker.com.

Gawker
posted the video of Tom Cruise speaking candidly about his
controversial religion in a way that's never been discussed publicly
before. In it, Cruise explains the virtues of Scientology, what it
means to him and other key topics of the religion.

In the video, Cruise says that "it's a privilege to call yourself a
Scientologist, and it's something that you have to earn. Because a
Scientologist does, he or she has the ability to create new and better
realities and improve conditions."

Cruise goes on to say that
the religion is all about helping others,"being a Scientologist, when
you drive past an accident, it's not like anyone else. As you drive
past you know you have to do something about it because you know you're
the only one that can really help."

"We are the authorities on
getting people off drugs," says Cruise. "We are the authorities on the
mind. We are the authorities on improving conditions. We can
rehabilitate criminals ... we can bring peace and unite cultures. Once
you know these tools and you know that they work, it's not good enough
that I'm just doing okay."

Cruise also lets out a hearty laugh
talking about suppressive persons (or anti-social persons), which are
referred to by Scientologists as SPs. He recalls a member of the church
asking him "So have you met an SP?" After gathering himself from
chuckling, Cruise says "I looked at them and I thought, what a
beautiful thing because maybe one day it will be like that. SPs, you'll
read about them in the history books."

Gawker's managing editor,
Nick Denton, refers to the removal of the video from other sites,
saying in the post: "Gawker is now hosting a copy of the video; it's
newsworthy; and we will not be removing it."

Gawker's posting
comes on the heels of the release of Andrew Morton's unauthorized
biography of Cruise, which focuses heavily on the role of Scientology
in his life. Among the claims in the book are that Cruise consults with
Scientology leader David Miscavige on "every aspect of planning and
policy" of his career and that his marriage to actress Nicole Kidman
was sabotaged by the church.
