Over the years we've heard a lot about the Church of Scientology. It's high profile has been bolstered by Hollywood A-listers. But what goes on behind the walls of this religion isn't always glamorous. The church is led by David Miscavige, a man who usually prefers to stay out of the public eye. But now his niece has shone a bright, unwelcome light upon the church and it's behaviour. Jenna Miscavige Hill spent more than 20 years in the church with her uncle. She told her story to Liz Hayes.

    • Tom Cruise is part of the problem. Not only does he know about it all. But he has his whole staff, that are only scientologists. He is very abusive towards them. Treats them like dirt, and they don’t get paid. Why do you think Katie Holmes had to escape with her daughter. While Tom was out of the country. She got Siri out, before they could indoctrinate her. Very brave. Also, all of his movies, Scientology is the benefactor of all his residuals that he gets. So Tom and Hollywood are keeping Scientology running. It’s completely disgusting and disturbing. Scientology has always threatened, the police, the courts, the IRS, and Gov. Let’s hope, with all these people leaving, and Danny Masterson being put away in prison. That this will finally start turning the tide. Where they cannot avoid the abuses any longer. Vengeance is near. Let’s hope it’s sooner than later.

Plus, who are the children gonna complain to when they're used as labor or mistreated? Not Mom and Dad. They aren't hovering anywhere nearby. So you can pretty much guarantee anything was happening to those kids because the cult doesn't believe in calling the law either surprised scores of kids aren't missing or dead.

The church essentially sent thugs to track her down and take her to a rehabilitation camp. These huge intimidating guys showed up at my friend's door repeatedly, telling her they know she was lying, sitting out in the parking lot of her condo, etc. She finally answered the door one day with her 9mm in hand and told them to never, ever come back or they and the church would be part of a massive news story. Her friend running from the church was scared, didn't want her to call the cops because that would start a trail and the church would know where she was. That's how bad things can get.

    • Science is still a religion, a dogmatic cult. Science can’t explain many things including how people can know things that they apparently can’t possibly know. Science is easily corrupted via industry bias due to its lack of transparency and funding platforms. Both religion and science are cults of belief, that rarely work in synchronisation. Both are vehicles for laundering money. They are 2 sides of the same coin.

  • I'm particularly struck by her explanation of how hard it is for the members who are fully invested in this indoctrination to leave. To experience their world crumbling down around them is similar to how all cult members or religious people might feel after leaving. You try to avoid it. It happened to me when I discarded my religious indoctrination too. But because it's hard to do, I don't expect anyone reading this to leave or a mass exodus from cults or religions. But if you do, you're free from it. You can shed its flaws. You can live. Free at last.
