| + | |
− | ----
| + | |
| | | |
| + | Executive summary: '''Leader of the Church of Scientology''' |
| | | |
− | "Dear Karin,
| + | Became Chairman of the Board of the Religious Technology Center, the effective head of the Church of Scientology, at age 26. Responsible for the organization receiving a religious tax exemption from the IRS in 1993. |
| | | |
− | "I could not resist the opportunity to write you this letter having read your official rebuttal regarding the Tom Cruise biography.
| + | *'''Father''': Ronald Thomas Miscavige, Sr. (staff musician for Scientology) |
| + | *'''Mother''': Loretta Miscavige (accountant for Greta Van Susteren's law firm) |
| + | *'''Sister''': Denise Miscavige Licciardi |
| + | *'''Sister''': Lori Miscavige Vernuelle |
| + | *'''Brother''': Ronald Thomas Miscavige, Jr. |
| + | *'''Wife''': Michele Diane Miscavige ("Shelly") |
| | | |
− | "I have been involved in the Church of Scientology since birth. David Miscavige as you well know is my father's brother, making him my uncle.
| + | High School: Philadelphia, PA (dropped out 1976) |
| | | |
− | "In fact you and I actually know each other although not very well.
| + | Converted to Scientology from Catholicism (1974) |
| | | |
− | "I cannot comment on your responses regarding the personal life of Tom
| + | Polish Ancestry |
− | Cruise because I know nothing about this, but I am absolutely shocked
| + | |
− | at how vehemently you insist upon not only denying the truths that
| + | |
− | have been stated about the Church in that biography, but then take it
| + | |
− | a step further and tell outright lies.
| + | |
| | | |
− | "You go so far as to state:
| + | Italian Ancestry |
| | | |
− | ''7. Does Scientology encourage their members not to speak to their family if they don't support the religion?''
| + | Risk Factors: Asthma |
− | | + | |
− | ''This allegation is not only false, it is the opposite of what the Church believes and practices.' -Karin Pouw''
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | "As you well know, my parents officially left the Church when I was 16
| + | |
− | in 2000. I, having been separated from them at the age of 12 and
| + | |
− | thoroughly engulfed in the beliefs of the Church since birth decided
| + | |
− | not to go with them.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | "Not only was I not allowed to speak to them, I was not allowed to
| + | |
− | answer a phone for well over a year, in case it was them calling me.
| + | |
− | To give exact specifics, this "law" was enforced ruthlessly by one
| + | |
− | Tracye Danilovoch - the local representative for the Religious
| + | |
− | Technology Center - who intercepted all letters from my parents (and
| + | |
− | my friends). She would then pass them on to Marc Rathbun (the then 2nd
| + | |
− | in command of the Church) and Mike Rinder - who happens to be the
| + | |
− | former head of YOUR office - "The Office of Special Affairs" (you can
| + | |
− | thank me later for not elaborating on this one). Only after they had
| + | |
− | seen the letters and decided it was ok for me to see them would I
| + | |
− | receive some of them while sitting in a board room while they watched
| + | |
− | me read them and asked me to comment on them.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | "I was allowed to visit my parents from the age of 16-22, once a year
| + | |
− | for a maximum of 3-4 days, but that was only after they (my parents)
| + | |
− | threatened legal action if the Church got in the way of this and even
| + | |
− | then only after I underwent a "Security Check Confessional" before I
| + | |
− | saw them and immediately after I came back. A security check is
| + | |
− | interrogation (usually about if I intend on leaving the Church, or
| + | |
− | finding out if my parents have said anything bad about the Church,
| + | |
− | etc.) while being attached to an electrophsychometer which is similar
| + | |
− | to a lie detector. This happened every single time I saw then (which
| + | |
− | was never more than 3 or 4 days a year).
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | "For a more recent example of families being destroyed, My Aunt
| + | |
− | Jennifer Pantermeuhl has recently contacted my parents and let them
| + | |
− | know that she can no longer speak to them or be in contact with them
| + | |
− | because they speak to and live near, my other Aunt Sarah Mortland.
| + | |
− | Sarah is my mom's and Jennifer's sister. This is because Sarah is not
| + | |
− | in favor with the Church. Jennifer also contacted my brother Sterling
| + | |
− | as well as the rest of the family for the same reason most of whom had
| + | |
− | to lie to her and said they weren't talking to Sarah for fear of
| + | |
− | getting found out about.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | "Another good example would be when my other brother, Justin, was in
| + | |
− | Florida a few years ago and was on his way to visit our Aunt Denise
| + | |
− | Gentile (our father's sister and David Miscavige's twin) with his
| + | |
− | girlfriend. Denise abruptly cancelled while they were on their way
| + | |
− | over because the Church would not approve - because he was an ex-
| + | |
− | member. Not to mention the fact that Kirsten Caetano (a member of the
| + | |
− | Church's Office of Special Affairs - the very same organization you
| + | |
− | belong to) was contacting Justin several times when he was in Florida
| + | |
− | working, telling him that he needed to leave the state because he is
| + | |
− | an ex-member and his presence at the "mecca of scientology" was
| + | |
− | disturbing to the church. Kristen has admitted to my face that she did
| + | |
− | this when I confronted her and even went so far as to admit that she
| + | |
− | lied to my brother after denying the incident. This is the least of
| + | |
− | what Kirsten Caetano has done!
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | "You cite this quote from L.Ron Hubbard about what the Church believes
| + | |
− | with regards to families..... yes we know what the Church claims to
| + | |
− | "believe" and has written in its policies! - BUT do they practice
| + | |
− | that? Absolutely not!
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | "I can name at least 5 friends off the top of my head who's family
| + | |
− | members are not allowed to speak to them without being themselves
| + | |
− | ousted from the Church and prevented from communicating with other
| + | |
− | members of their family and even their children still involved in the
| + | |
− | Church lest THEY too be ousted! They cant speak to their children
| + | |
− | because they have left the Church on their own determinism. This is a
| + | |
− | widespread practice and if you dare deny it I have a list of all of
| + | |
− | there names together-these people's families are crying every day
| + | |
− | because they can't speak to their children who did nothing but leave
| + | |
− | the Church of their own free will.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | "If I am in fact wrong and you want to prove me as such, then allow me
| + | |
− | and my family to be in contact with our family members that are still
| + | |
− | part of the Church such as my Grandpa, Ron Miscavige, and his wife,
| + | |
− | Becky. Allow the same of my friends. And don't even start with the,
| + | |
− | "it's their choice all along story..." -nobody is going to buy that,
| + | |
− | there are way too many destroyed families for that to be true.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | "I am tempted to take up many of the other accusations you
| + | |
− | categorically deny in your novel, but for the purpose of keeping this
| + | |
− | letter readable and focused on the most important part (family) I will
| + | |
− | resist.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | "I will suggest however that maybe you should spend the manpower and
| + | |
− | time of drafting your masterpiece rebuttal - why don't you take the
| + | |
− | high road for once and put that time towards repairing the families
| + | |
− | you have destroyed, starting with the family of David Miscavige
| + | |
− | himself - hell, if Scientology can't keep his family together - then
| + | |
− | why on earth should anyone believe the Church helps bring families
| + | |
− | together!
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Best,
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | '''Jenna Miscavige Hill'''"
