Is Kathleen Turner'>Kathleen Turner "answering the call" of Scientology?
Kathleen Turner'>Kathleen Turner, an actress known for her low sexy tones, donated
voiceover for a soon to be released documentary titled "Answering The
Call," which according to its press kit "reveals the plight of
Ground Zero workers and their illnesses."
But it looks like Ms. Turner may be "answering the call" of
Scientology.
The documentary by Lou Angeli was produced and written by diehard
Scientologist Bunny Dubin.
Dubin won a Scientology Freedom Medal in 2001 for her efforts as a
volunteer minister at Ground Zero and she and her husband are both big
givers and active promoters of the controversial church, which has been
called a "cult."
Not mentioned in the film or press kit is that Scientology volunteers
were eventually asked to leave Ground Zero, a tragedy they arguably
seemed anxious to exploit.
Disturbing is the way that Dubin seems to have shaped "Answering The
Call" into a vehicle that can be used by Scientology like an
infomercial to promote a controversial project that was dumped by the
New York Fireman's Union amidst much bad press in 2003.
The documentary press kit states that Ground Zero workers have "found
relief through the New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Project, a
program partially funded by actor, Tom Cruise."
And as everyone knows Tom Cruise is Scientology's number one
celebrity booster and winner of its Freedom Medal of Valor.
Maybe Kathleen Turner'>Kathleen Turner doesn't know the details regarding every
charity she supports, but there can be no doubt that Cruise knows it
all, just ask Matt Laurer.
The process that is the pivotal centerpiece for the documentary's
cited "detoxification project" is called the "purification rundown"
invented by the founder of Scientology L. Ron Hubbard.
The rundown is a religious ritual that is reportedly "neither medically
safe nor scientifically verified.."
According to the documentary press kit the purification rundown is "a
precise regimen that includes doses of the vitamin niacin, exercise,
saunas, repeated showers and the digestion of a small amount of
polyunsaturated oils."
However, the chief medical officer for FDNY Dr. Kerry Kelly said, "The
essence of their program is you stay in it until you suddenly wake up
and say, 'I feel great.' It's hard to have faith in a program like
that." Kelly concluded that there is no "objective evidence" to support
the claims made by the program reported the NY Daily News.
"While we are aware some members of the department have availed
themselves of the program, we in no way endorse it," NY Fire Department
Deputy Commissioner Francis X. Gribbon told the New York Times.
Prominently featured in "Answering The Call" are two paid members
of the Advisory Board of the Scientology-linked project, retired
fireman Joseph Higgins and Dr. David Root.

such programs click here.
But despite all the ties between Scientology and the project none of
these connections are explicitly made clear within the documentary.
There is only a passing reference about Church of Scientology volunteer
ministers.
Kathleen Turner'>Kathleen Turner was center stage for the press conference held
yesterday after the preview of "Answering The Call" at the Lutnick
Theater inside the USS Intrepid, a floating museum moored at
Manhattan's Pier 86.
Standing next to the actress was Bunny Dubin who has said that her work
as a volunteer minister is part of an ongoing "crusade" for
Scientology.
Interestingly, all the proceeds from the documentary will be given to
actor Denis Leary's Firefighters Foundation. This is the second time
Cult News has reported links between Leary, Cruise and Scientology.
Dubin announced at the press conference that she hopes to create a
national network based upon the success of "Answering The Call," which
may mean this documentary could prove to be a promotional bonanza of
free advertising for Scientology.
