[h=3]AS Jenna teetered on a tiny window ledge high above teeming LA traffic, she felt she had nothing to live for.[/h] She says: “Scientology had destroyed my life and taken away everyone that I cared about — my parents, my brother, my friends.
“Now they were trying to take away the boy I loved and I just couldn’t let them do that. I was ready to jump. I had nothing left to lose.”
Frantic church elders, terrified of what their boss, Jenna’s uncle David Miscavige would think, scrambled to pull the distraught 17-year-old back inside to safety.
“The Scientologists are paranoid about bad publicity, so the last thing they needed was the leader’s niece leaping into the traffic in the middle of Hollywood Boulevard,” says Jenna Miscavige Hill, who had been terrified about being separated from her boyfriend Dallas.
Four years later she found the courage to leave the secretive organisation she was born into.
Now Jenna has written a memoir about growing up as an elite member of the church that counts Tom Cruise and John Travolta among its devotees.
The book makes explosive claims about the church, which Jenna reckons made her life a misery.

What new religions? How about the Sisters of Exquisite Brutality?
 
^^Interesting enough piece, although I always have to wonder about absolute validity of one person's first person account.^^

Also :) its odd I didn't see anything about smelly feet or bats on the website! It looks like one of those self help seminar's powerpoints I sometimes got dragged to as a kid.
