We’ve just finished Jenna Miscavige Hill’s memoir, Beyond Belief: My Secret Life Inside Scientology and My Harrowing Escape, and we can say that it packs a powerful punch in its final pages as the niece of Scientology’s leader considers his behavior and its effect on her life, both in and out of the church. Along the […] We received our copy of Jenna Miscavige Hill’s new book at 3 am and we’re still devouring it. We hope to have our review up later today. For now, the niece of Scientology leader David Miscavige is scheduled to make an appearance on The View today on ABC at 11 am Eastern.

Go here for the first post in the series. We’re now entering Book Two, which promises to take us into the nuts and bolts of dianetic theory. […] Ursula Caberta [Credit: dpa/DPA] Tomorrow, Ursula Caberta will retire from her post with the Hamburg state government after spending more than 20 years investigating Scientology’s influence in Germany. Yesterday, we had a lengthy telephone conversation with her, and reviewed some of the highlights of her career, which was one of the most troublesome for Scientology […] We’ve commented in the past how remarkable it is that some of Atlanta’s local news outlets have banded together to keep a close watch on one of Scientology’s more intriguing messes going on there. Pete Combs of WSB Radio, Jodie Fleischer of WSB-TV, and Christian Boone of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution have coordinated their coverage as a […] Hubbard, at Saint Hill Manor Just a quick evening post for some blatant self-promotion as we point out a couple of smart news stories that feature quotes from the Bunker. This afternoon, The Observer‘s Dan Duray published an insightful look at the fact-checking process that journalists go through when they investigate the Church of Scientology. […] |
