Katie Holmes says Scientology is a wonderful thing but she is not fully converted yet. But some friends worry that he's taken over her life.

Avid tabloid readers might have heard about one Jessica Feshbach Rodriguez, the Scientology "minder" who has shadowed Katie Holmes as she promotes "Batman Begins."

Apparently, Katie’s indoctrination has been going on for weeks.

On May 27, Tom Cruise took Holmes to Canadian, Okla., to visit a Scientology-backed drug rehab center called Narconon Arrowhead, Cruise's sister and press rep Leanne DeVette confirmed to Hollywood-elsewhere.com columnist Jeffrey Wells.

Sources say Holmes' parents, who raised her as a Roman Catholic, told fellow churchgoers in Toledo that she wouldn't be converting to the controversial sect.

But then Katie Holmes announced she had.

"She's not consulting her family on any of her decisions," a family friend told media.
