Scientology: Why do Scientologists trust David Miscavige?

by Ron, he must be OK." The only problem with that belief is that it
isn't true! He specifically was not "put in charge by Ron." When Ron
died, there was a whole organizational hierarchy that was in place to
run the Church of Scientology, with other people in charge. David
Miscavige wasn't included. So, no, Ron didn't assign or approve
Miscavige as head of the church. Didn't happen.
Scientologists trust Miscavige?
mission holders" back in 1982. That's the story from Miscavige. The
mission holders have a completely different story. Scientologists will
undoubtedly choose to believe Miscavige's version -- but there is
something they should look at. Prior to Miscavige's take-over of the
mission network, missions were in a period of sustained and exciting
expansion. Prior to Miscavige's action, missions were springing up all
over the place and they were huge. Since Miscavige's action, the
mission network has fallen on very hard times, with missions closing
rather than expanding or opening. Based on results, Miscavige
factually destroyed the Mission Network and killed a huge period of
expansion for Scientology. Is this a person to trust with running the
Church of Scientology?
why do Scientologists trust him?
"Golden Age of Tech" that Miscavige developed -- a complete change in
all Scientology training. Miscavige touts this as a "great
achievement" and Scientologists believe him. Those who trained
directly under Hubbard have a completely different view of things, but
they are not allowed to voice any disagreements. Once again, "good"
Scientologists will believe Miscavige's version -- however, they
should look at the results of this "Golden Age of Tech". The results
are depressing.
but after that, things are not looking good. Auditors have stopped
auditing and have dropped out of sight. Auditors and Case Supervisors
have gotten into trouble for messing up cases. Today, there are far
fewer auditors than before the "Golden Age of Tech". A "training
improvement" that causes auditors to fail and stop auditing? That
doesn't sound good.
Scientologists still trust him implicitly. Why?
Scientology, David Miscavige's highest priority target from extant
Hubbard orders, was to bring all churches to the "size of old Saint
Hill" (the main organization when Scientology was booming).
Scientologists will recall church after church receiving their
recognition for "reaching the size of old Saint Hill". Then nothing.
What happened? Did they make it? Are all the churches at that size
now?
to much smaller sizes almost immediately. Miscavige's "management" had
artificially boosted these organizations just enough to "win" the
award, but it was bad management since it fell apart immediately. At
this time no church is even close to the size of "old Saint Hill". The
most important orders from Hubbard are now in a drawer somewhere,
ignored and forgotten.
to get all churches to the "size of old Saint Hill" -- nothing. No
churches are at that size. Total failure!
public Scientologists to cough up millions and millions of dollars to
buy big buildings for their local church. Scientologists are told by
Miscavige that this is a wild and wonderful success. Scientologists
sincerely believe this view of things. But they should look at the
results. What are the results? A few of these new buildings have been
completed and opened. Very few. More new buildings have been purchased
but not renovated. What happened?
-- they are not expanding. Because of the additional expenses
associated with the newer, bigger buildings, their staff are paid
little or nothing. It's a real struggle.
are also in deep trouble. They have additional expenses, but find it
difficult to make any money from their parishioners -- the
parishioners have been tapped out on money.
•The churches still working on buying new buildings are really
struggling. Their parishioners have been hammered for money and more
money -- so they're not taking courses either. It is an incredible
struggle.
available money from the Scientology public, leaving very little for
them to buy services at the local church. The result of that has been
to collapse all the local churches. Anyone could have predicted that,
and this is exactly what has happened. The money for the new buildings
goes to Miscavige and does not benefit the local church. If they
collect enough money to buy a building, the ownership of that building
is transferred to Miscavige's Int. Landlord and does not benefit the
local church.
fact, every action he takes causes the Church of Scientology to
shrink. There really is no reason anyone would trust a person with a
track record like Miscavige's. So why do Scientologists still trust
him so much?
his abysmal record.
think it's because David Miscavige is the one who controls all
information to the loyal Scientologists. They are forbidden from
reading or watching or listening to anything else. Miscavige controls
the Scientology newsletters and magazines. Miscavige controls the
press releases. Miscavige controls the Scientology events. And
everything a Scientologist is allowed to see modestly proclaims David
Miscavige as the most amazing and wonderful person in the whole world.
