The both discuss “nattering” (gossiping), Sec Checks (withering interrogation for wrong doers), RTC (the Religious Technology Center who oversees church member behaviors), the cans and floating your needle (the “E meter” and reading it’s results), the policy of disconnection (a requirement to disassociate with any friend or family that leaves), the consistent use of punishment for being “out ethics” (i.e. When they speak of Scientology rules, policies and terminologies, however, their stories line up perfectly. While there is room to question some of LeClair’s motives and allegations, Miscaviage Hill’s recounting of what she experienced as a child at the hands of this group are both heartbreaking and difficult to doubt. Miscaviage Hill’s story is more one of personal growth and survival and a retelling of what she experienced and how it has shaped her life. The former seems to have written her book in large part to clear her name as it relates to criminal and civil proceedings against her in California courts that she claims were a result of church instigation. LeClair has more of an axe to grind with “the church” than Miscaviage Hill. Ron Hubbard that homosexuals are perverts and deviants. While Scientology claims it takes no position on homosexuality, countless defectors have written and spoken of specific church policies against same and have provided statements by L.

Michelle is beautiful and was highly successful, turning her part-time job in a Scientology based insurance company into a full time major money-making operation. Michelle LeClair, unlike Jenna, was a “public” Scientologist, meaning not within the Sea Org. In others, such as when her own parents left, it subjected her to extra negative attention and repercussions. In some ways, the relationship provided her protections. It was both a blessing and a curse that Jenna is the niece of the church’s current leader, David Miscavige. Once Jenna reached elementary school age, she was shipped off to The Ranch where she was required to do exhausting physical labor and her education consisted of primarily church related things. Parents spend virtually no time with their children. Members are expected to work 14 hour days and have family time for less than 10 hours a weekend. Touted as a privilege and honor to be a member of this internal ‘leadership’ group, the work is arduous and the pay is criminal. Her parents joined and became members of the Sea Org early on. Jenna Miscavige Hill, although not born into Scientology, was a member from a very young age.
