Ruthless Scientology By janette k. stalemo The book written by David Miscavige's father rings true and is a clear presentation of the Church of Scientology. Having been exposed to the organization through my father who was heavily involved from my teenage years until a short time before his death, I appreciate learning about this manipulative, evil organization. While my dad was a "public scientology" he was definitely manipulated, used and harmed by the org. He was extremely defensive & controlling and we were not allowed to question or make disparaging statements about scientology. Since his death I feel free to tell the truth. Toward the end of his life, as an 80 year old cancer patient who was suffering from mild dementia church members visited him frequently to extract 44,000 dollars within a 6 week period of time and God only knows how many tens of thousands of dollars in the years prior. I only became aware of this when he started bouncing checks and the pharmacy refused to deliver his needed medications because all his credit cards were maxed out. He asked me to take over his finances. Dollars stopped flowing to scientology, he moved in with me, his physical and financial health improved dramatically. Still the Church continued to call to"check on how he was doing" . Without fail the 3rd w question in was a request for money. It was disgusting . 120 of 129 people found the following review helpful. A father's story By College Stealth Uh. Wow. Kind of a book that is the most compassionate way to let the world know your son is a monster. Not a lot of screaming, but acknowledgement of some character flaws, like megalomania and sociopath tendencies. I get some people not carrying if their dad dies, but, the narrator doesn’t seem like a total creep, not like the Kelly’s Dad on Bearing Sea Gold. The most interesting point about Miscavige’s story is that he is critically looking at Scientology and focusing on his son, and the beliefs that he has been imposing on other people. There is actually a lot that David’s father, Miscavige (I’ll just call the dad Miscavige), talks about with regards to the things that are good, or were good, or had beliefs that once spoke to him in the faith. I think that this might be one of the first books I’ve read on the subject that speaks highly of the belief, but condemns the leader. I know that scientology has been a hot item lately, “Going Clear” and Leah Remini’s book are two of the main ones that come to mind when thinking about the church. I’d put this one up there in terms of the authority and the sincerity with which it is written, where as other ones talk about their reasons for joining as almost apologetic, whereas Miscavige isn’t, he’s talking about what the good used to be in it. Miscavige tells the story like you would perceive a father to do; he pays attention to heights and weight when his kids are playing sports. He’s realistic in his relationship with his wife Loretta, admits to hitting her, and doesn’t make excuses about it, just describes it as a matter of fact and part of their relationship. It’s kind of interesting that he acknowledges that she passed away and can’t provide her perspective, it seems a bit sincerer that way. The narratives language isn’t rose colored and painted fluidly either, when David was having an asthma attack Miscavige “smacked him on the ass and he cried, which forced him to exhale and that stopped the attack,” again kind of giving insight into that rough narrative. The asthma plays a big role in Miscavige’s discussion of David and Scientology, as the asthma really limited David, but after Miscavige took him to see some people at the Scientology place his
asthma stopped. This is what Miscavige really attributes to David’s turn to Scientology, the idea that it cured him of asthma. Miscavige himself becomes involved because of his situation with his wife and admits some of the psychological remedies Scientology gave him early on. It’s actually kind of neat in his transition to Scientology facets because he’s talking shop about his boys and then goes into theories of Hubbard, but does so very naturally in the dialogue (yes, I know it was co-written, but the tone doesn’t change). Miscavige discusses being accused of rape, acknowledges the churches help during his time of need, and eventually decides to join the church after he divorces his wife. Miscavige is pretty honest about some of the early time in the church when he became involved in 1985, he’s pretty passionate when he talks about music and making music, but then things go a bit downhill. Miscavige’s perspective focuses a lot on the performance aspect of Scientology and how it bilks people into thinking that it was more involved than it actually was, as well as spread further than it actually was. Miscavige admits he was never in the hole, but talks about the psychological impact David’s personality has on others, comparing it to a 1980’s boss, and maintaining entourages that always agreed with him wherever he went in the organization. Miscavige then talks about David’s mancrush on Tom Cruise, and how David sought to woo Tom, but then quickly reflects back to David’s competitive attitude. Highlighting that David didn’t finish school, Miscavige even notes that David played Trivial Pursuit requiring a pop-culture person on his team so as not to lose. It’s kind of interesting that Miscavige hearkens to his own background and talks about David’s inefficiency as a manager and supervisor. There’s a little window of this, which I’m not entirely sure what to make of, especially since David is still the head of the church and it’s been seeming to do pretty well financially. Miscavige eventually flees the church with his new wife, but a lot of it has to do with his music not being as appreciated as before, and his soul dying bit by bit every day. The last quarter of the book focuses on Miscavige’s new life after leaving Scientology. In particular, he did get $100,000 from David to buy a new house. It is a bit surprising that he talks about using the internet for the first time and learning about Hubbard and some of the truths behind him, in particular his military career. Miscavige explains his authorship of the book, being constantly followed by PI’s and Scientology’s denial of this, even when there are federal recordings that David knew about the PI’s tracking Miscavige. Then there’s some family sadness with Miscavige’s children not really interacting with him, Miscavige reflects on Scientology, and then the book ends. Oh, and there’s pictures, which are a nice touch. 58 of 62 people found the following review helpful. The book Scientology doesn't want you to read! By Tash50Tash50 Mr. Ron Miscavige's book is a wealth of information. I believe the levels of information this book reveals breaks down into two major categories. Those who are relatively new to learning about David Miscavige (DM) and the Church of Scientology (CoS) and the second group is ex-members, family and friends friends of ex-members and those who are dedicated to Scientology watching (either as an activist, religious scholars or other reasons for following this highly controversial belief system.) I believe both groups I mentioned will take something away from this book, but before I get too much farther into my review I wish to be very upfront about this. If you are only interested in this
book because you believe you will get juicy scoops on Hollywood Celebrities - you might be disappointed. While there is some minor talk of celebrity Scientologists as it relates to the author's son and some of the author's interactions with them, this is not an expose on CoS and Hollywood celebrities. It is about the journey the author went through in and out of the CoS, and of course, a lot of particulars on how DM was from infancy, to child and as his life progressed until he became one of the most controversial leaders of a belief system that many classify as a cult. Make no mistake...this IS the story of two men's lives as it relates to Scientology. For those who fall into the latter group I mentioned- there is quite a bit of information that is already known to those of us who follow CoS. it makes it no less poignant or tragic, IMO, that this belief system puts its "clergy" members through these types of abuses. It also paints a very vivid picture of a young DM. The background of DM probably won't come as too much of a surprise to the informed reader. For the former group, this book provides a very good look at what it is like for those who become involved in the CoS; especially for those persons who know only the bare bones first person accounts and stories that have been catching fire and spreading awareness of the CoS. it is a huge story comparatively speaking since it deals with DM. That being said -- this book, while very personal, is much more neutral than I expected. By that I mean that the author seems to take pains in stating his opinion quite straightforwardly without too much supposition on what could have been. He also takes more responsibility than I expected. He seems to be quite fair in his telling. I say this from the vantage point of knowing many first person accounts of the CoS and DM. The author can occasionally come off as tip toeing gently, but due to the extremely litigious nature of the CoS I expected it. That shouldn't imply or suggest that there aren't loads of details, insight and the ability to gain hindsight perspective from this book. I think it is extremely important to capture these accounts and make sure they are available for people who either are considering joining the CoS, have family members in or for the purpose of educating yourself on what is happening behind the PR curtain of an organization that claims it is pro-human rights and claims it walks that walk, and forming your own educated opinion from all the materials available. It took quite a lot of fortitude to pen this book considering the very personal negative information the author reveals. Imagine having all of your deepest darkest secrets in the hand of a group that allegedly espouse the priest penitent privilege -- yet all of sudden that same organization is spilling those secrets to anyone who will listen, buying websites to place that information on, having current members film testimonies that you are a "Dirty Pig" and much more yet they had no issue with you for 40+ years. The courage that the author shows in proclaiming his shortcomings due to the "always attack" posture of CoS is not something to be taken lightly. And while you (and I) may not like some of his mistakes, I think it is far more plausible that the author takes responsibility for past actions then it is for the CoS to say they never do anything wrong - ever, ever. It's always someone else who is lying or has done something wrong as a standard response to any negativity. They are the only person/group on the planet that has never made a mistake, lied or hurt someone. And, of course, they say that the author is making this story up (for money, revenge, because he's a defrocked apostate and any other number of allegations that have been offered before on others who have spoke out about the CoS practices) despite many of the assertions being factually documented by
photographs, testimony and even their own admission. I think there are two sides to every story and if you are remotely interested in the CoS for any reason, this book is a valuable read. I won't reveal any spoilers, but I will say there is still quite a bit of new information here and this should definitely be on the reading list for those who are interested in the CoS. I would have rated it a 3.5 if the option was there. While this doesn't break down all new barriers with every revelation, it certainly reveals enough for me to understand why the CoS was so upset about this book being published. Additionally, the writing is clean, it is easy to read, it doesn't use a phenomenal amount of Scientology speak which can be confusing for never-ins, it explains the behind the scenes of one family who raised one man who would be a Tzar of his kingdom and allows you to see that behind the CoS curtain isn't the Wizard of Oz, but just a normal man, not a God, who has allegedly caused much pain, disconnection, heart break. What kind of human the author's son is...well that's for you to decide based on your own research and opinion. An informative and interesting book for all those interested in the CoS and religious belief systems. I suggest reading Going Clear either prior to this book, or after this book if you haven't already read it; Going Clear really places this book in context. See all 273 customer reviews...
