From
an interesting Radar magazine article about the "Anonymous" protests against Scientology and various high-level defections (including church head David Miscavige's niece, which
I've already reported here), I learn that Mike Rinder, former head of Scientology's Office of Special Affairs, defected last year. Rinder was the main public spokesperson for the Church of Scientology. Chuck Beatty, a 27-year veteran of the Church, observes in the article that Rinder leaving Scientology is like Goebbels leaving the Nazi Party.
Rinder, an Australian who joined the Scientology Sea Org at the age of 18, left the Church in the summer of 2007.
Congratulations, Mr. Rinder. Welcome back to reality. I hope you will speak out about your experiences.
