Related: About this forumDad of Scientology Leader to Tell All
The Daily Beast:The father of Church of Scientology leader David Miscavige has signed a deal to pen a tell-all book about his son and his controversial organization. The forthcoming bookcalled If He Dies, He Dies, after what the younger Miscavige allegedly said about his dad during an apparent heart attackwill be released with St. Martins Press. Ronald Miscavige Sr. says he brought David and the rest of his family to the church in the 1960s, but the son had a cruel change of heart after his father distanced himself from the group. Ronald Miscavige Sr. has reportedly been working on the book for years.

Then there are idiots like this guy:
Speaking of aliens, did you see HBOs Scientology documentary Going Clear?
No. I heard about it, though. Im familiar with it.
Im curious what your take on Scientology is, because the intergalactic story of Xenu does encroach on your territory a bit.
So, you have people who are certain that a man in a robe transforms a cracker into the literal body of Jesus saying that what goes on in Scientology is crazy? Lets realize this: What matters is not who says whos crazy, what matters is we live in a free country. You can believe whatever you want, otherwise its not a free countryits something else. If we start controlling what people think and why they think it, we have case studies where that became the norm. I dont care what the tenets are of Scientology. They dont distract me. I dont judge them, and I dont criticize them.

David Miscavige's niece. The things she went through at such a young age are shocking... manual labor when she should have been in 1st or 2nd grade.
