More Church of Scientology defectors come forward with accounts of abuse
More articles on this topic: 11 more defectors who have provided accounts of physical or mental abuse by Scientology leader David Miscavige.
They are stepping forward — from Dallas and Denver, Portland, Las Vegas, Montana — talking about what happened, to them and their friends, during their years in the Church of Scientology.
Jackie Wolff wept as she recalled the chaotic night she was ordered to stand at a microphone in the mess hall and confess her “crimes” in front of 300 fellow workers, many jeering and heckling her.
Scientology defector Jeff Hawkins talks about his motivation to come forwardGary Morehead dredged up his recollection of Scientology leader David Miscavige punishing venerable church leaders by forcing them to live out of tents for days, wash with a garden hose and use an open latrine.
Steve Hall replayed his memory of a meeting when Miscavige grabbed the heads of two church executives and knocked them together. One came away with a bloody ear.

• Dead Agenting
• Fair Game
Scientologists acting on those words have created a Scientology track record of hate- and harassment activities — which is why Apologetics Index classifies the cult as a hate group.
