More Weirdness From Church of Scientology Leader David Miscavige - Page 2
The facility has numerous full-size sound stages. Their computer facility includes an uninterruptable power supply that fills a small building. Visitors are required to be escorted everywhere by a staff member.
The compound is also said to be the home of some church officials including David Miscavige, the chairman of the board of the RTC.
One would think this a conflict of interest, yet nothing surprises me about Scientology anymore. It seems this may not have been the only run in with the law Ron Miscavige, Sr. had. According to several accounts, Ronald Sr. was implicated in a rape in Philadelphia. But, thanks to son David's use of lawyers, PI's and money, all traces of a crime were erased and only an internet full of recovered data remains. To this day, someone knows what happened, but since they clearly aren't coming forward, the rape can only be classified a "myth."
Another weird thing about David Miscavige is the mysterious death of his mother-in-law, Florence Barnett. You can read about her suicide in 1985 here. Florence Barnett was found shot dead with three gun-shot wounds to her chest and one to her temple. You know what they say, dead mother-in-laws tell no tales.
Honestly, one could devote an entire book to the intricacies of Scientology and its leader. I have found the process of documenting the many aberrations and strange occurrences both fascinating and revolting. It amazes me how Scientology has managed to thrive for as long as it has considering the number of critics it has accumulated over the years.
Only time will tell whether Scientology can ever come clean to its critics and reform its perceived image as a sinister cult.
