Customer Review
Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2012
Qualified exit councilors say that for every year you are in Scientology, you need a year out to fully recover. This is because the founder of Scientolgy, L. Ron Hubbard was a very proficient hypnotist.
Marty Rathburn never left. It is my opinion that never recovered. His book and his blog are testament to this opinion.
Scientology is harmful, whether you do it inside the criminal organization run by David Miscavige or not.
It is notable that Marty Rathbun was an active Scientologist in management when Lisa McPherson starved to death over a 17 day period under the 'care' of Scientologists at their Mecca in Clearwater and when many others died (refer whyaretheydead.info). Many of the people on whyaretheydead.info died long before Miscavige took power. In fact, under Miscavige, the death toll has reduced.
For years, Marty was a senior officer in the Office of Special Affairs, Scientology's intelligence service. What is more interesting than what Marty says is what Marty doesn't say.
The title of this book is misleading. Marty was part of what was wrong with Scientology. L. Ron Hubbard was also part of what was wrong with Scientology. Hubbard was an unindited co-conspirator in 'Operation Snow White,' the largest infiltration of the US Govt in history.
Miscavige has simply continued in the tradition of abuse that is Scientology.
This review has been edited due to threats made by what appear to be a fan of Marty Rathbun which you can see below. The irony of Marty's fans using childish and hostile methods to attempt to reduce criticism of a book where Marty Rathburn criticizes Miscavige for the very same behaviour seeks only to underline my point.
