Did Tom Cruise Physically Abuse Members Of The Church Of Scientology? - Page 2
These sessions, to the member being audited, are "supposed" to help root out deep-seated problems related to past or current issues which are believed to be blocking the member's progress "up the bridge to total freedom," but to Church officials, in particular, David Miscavige, these sessions are simply taped confessions to be used against the member should a member decide to speak out against the Church, or defect. This is the stuff of dictators and totalitarian states dreams.
Scientology, whose founder, sci-fi hack L. Ron Hubbard, coined the term "lurid, blood sex crimes" to describe what Scientology's own police force should dig up on its enemies, has a policy that cuts both ways. When you are in the "Church" your secrets, however dirty and sleazy are protected, but the minute you decide to speak out against them, they can and WILL be used against you. We witnessed this recently after several high-ranking officials left the Church and spoke to the St. Petersburg Times for an in depth, multi-part expose on Scientology and its violent, unpredictable leader, David Miscavige.
New Allegations Against Tom Cruise
Marty who maintains a blog, posted a letter from Bert Fields, Tom Cruise's high-powered attorney, with his response to the accusations leveled against him. Within these responses, Rathbun refers to not only David Miscavige's long list of physical abuse against his subordinates, but apparently, Tom Cruise mimicking Miscavige's management style, and by that we mean a history of unprovoked physical attacks on underlings. Here are some excerpts, but we highly recommend you read the entire post for full details and context.
Dear Bert,It is great to hear from you. I appreciate the civil tone of your letter as well as its appeal to reason.
Because I also appreciate the fact that you have championed fundamental human rights for many, I believe there is information you need to know concerning ongoing abuses that you are unwittingly supporting. Please take the time to consider the information I am providing in response to your expressed concerns. You may find that information raises more serious and far-reaching concerns to your client and you than those you have outlined.
I will quote the entirety of your letter in sections by topic so that I clearly and thoroughly respond to each of the concerns you have expressed.
