This was an excellent and informative article. My understanding is that you asked organized scientology about apparent abuses by their leader David Miscavige. They denied he made any abuses. I personally worked with David Miscavige and have seen him spit on, punch in the mouth, choke and slap hard on the face staff. I also know others who have been beaten and otherwise physically abused by him. I know Miscavige to have lied in courts and to the IRS about his control of organized scientology and other matters. I know this from first hand experience. If called upon I would give testimony to this effect. I salute John Cook and Radar for their courage and integrity in taking on this litigious organization, Sincerely, Larry Brennan, New Hampshire, USA
