Latest disturbing Daily Mail article on Scientology / Cruise / Holmes:
"Mystery of missing wife of Scientology leader: Woman who played matchmaker to Katie and Tom hasn't been seen since 2007"
"But perhaps the biggest mystery shrouding Scientology chairman David Miscavige concerns his wife, Shelly, who has not been seen since 2007.
Once a leading Scientologist herself, Shelly Miscavige is even credited as the cupid to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' doomed alliance.
"A more extraordinary claim is that she was locked up in 'The Hole', after allegedly being caught filing job applications without her husband's consent.
Others claim she was sent on an intense 'behavior modification program' at a remote, confidential location"
"Mark ‘Marty’ Rathbun, once the second most powerful figure in the church — but who later fell out with the organisation and fled the base — told a court that between 80 and 100 Scientologists were sentenced to the Hole at a time and were required to do group confessions all day and all night.
He claimed that, one night, Miscavige visited the Hole and organised a brutal game of musical chairs.
Putting the Queen song Bohemian Rhapsody on the sound system, he announced that only the winner would be allowed to remain a member of the church, prompting a desperate fight as Scientologists came to blows over the chairs."
"The punishment of members who attempt to leave the sect has been well documented. The church refers to people who defect but practice independently as 'squirrels'.
Mr Rathbun was stalked by a group of Scientologist 'squirrel busters' who fitted cameras to their heads and followed him wherever he went."
I have heard stories that the School of Economic Science has pursued and harassed people who have left the Cult, turning up at their homes etc.
When Cult leaders have total power and are answerable to no-none, anything is possible!
