David Miscavige

Miscavige was once a member of the sea org. and a messenger of the late Hubbard (Wright 2013). He was born on April 30, 1960. He was said to have taken leadership of the church in 1982. He began working for Scientology when he was just thirteen years old. He did not complete his college education (Sappell). According to many ex-high ranking scientologists, he is a “ruthless fighter,” and he has a “volatile temper.” Before Miscavige even turned thirty he was chairman

1. David Miscavige is the leader of a newer religion called Scientology. L. Ron Hubbard is the founder of Scientology and had personally mentored Miscavige during his youth. In 1986, Hubbard passed away and Miscavige became his successor. There are many claims of abuse, especially in more recent times, from ex-members of this religion. The allegations can be tied, either directly or indirectly, to Miscavige and his regulations for the church of Scientology. Probably the most harmful aspect of his

All I Need Is You By Lecrae The song “All I Need is You” is one of Lecrae’s most popular songs. The overarching theme of most of his music is his relationship with God and the strength God has given him to become a good person. The song itself is really good even without really understanding the lyrics. The lyrics he use are very similar to a guy praying to God.

I thought very carefully about what religion I would pick for the final project. What eventually motivated me to choose the Church of Scientology is the construction of a multimillion-dollar chapel and community center on E. 125th St, which is very close to my community. This is a strategic attempt to expand the Church of Scientology’s base from more affluent areas to urban areas with younger people. Whenever I come home from Marist I have to take the Bx15 bus at 125th street to get across the river

L. Ron Hubbard stated to Lloyd Eshbach in 1949, "I’d like to start a religion. That’s where the money is." Five years later, the church of Scientology was born. Hubbard was a college dropout who had two failed marriages and claimed to have an honorable career as a US Navy officer despite never seeing combat. Eventually, he turned to writing science fiction in the late ‘40s since, you know, he was good at making up things. He later took up hypnosis and ritual magic after moving into the mansion

Due to their ambiguity secretive religions open themselves up to many misconceptions and issues especially when concerning the law. In my research paper I will identify a religion that has had problems arise due to their secretive nature. I popular culture secrecy breed’s suspicion. Religion in particular is expected in the west to be open, honest and welcoming, based largely on the model of Christianity.

Auschwitz although not as worse. The hole is in Gilman Hot Springs, California. Right after the Lisa Mcpherson wrongful death lawsuit occurred David Miscaviage (the leader at the time) started getting stricter. He then took fifty Sea Org members put them in a room and locked them in there for a day. He then moved them to another building for another three days. David made orders for some CNO offices to be secured. After they were the Sea Org members were moved down there. The hole is now officially a thing

Recently Leah Remini came out with some pretty wild claims about Scientology and Tom Cruise. It turns out Cruise is not very happy about what Remini had to say in her recent interview and book. US Magazine shared that a source close to Tom Cruise is now speaking out about it and Cruise is not happy. Leah left Scientology and since then she has been revealing a lot about the organization and the people who are part of it. In her book, Leah talks about a time where Tom Cruise was trying to bake cookies
