Mike Rinder, who was involved with Scientology since he was a child and left in 2007 after reaching the "highest ranks", wrote a book titled “A Billion Years: My Escape From a Life in the Highest Ranks of Scientology”. He revealed a few things about the church and its most famous members
-Claims that he was brought in by the church to help squash talk about John Travolta’s love life and he saw Travolta kiss a male masseur
-When Tom Cruise first showed interest in Nicole Kidman when he was still married to Mimi Rogers, David Miscavige assigned his lieutenant Greg Wilhere "to get Mimi to agree to a divorce so Tom could marry Nicole"
-Scientology built a professional soccer field in their California headquarters for Tom Cruise to woo David Beckham and get him and Victoria to join
-Tom had the task to "court celebrities other than those with whom he was working on films" and bring them into Scientology
-All of Cruise’s household and office staff were personally selected by Miscavige’s wife, Shelly - and they reported back to her on Tom's every move
-Tom Cruise started to pull away from Scientology while filming “Eyes Wide Shut” in London, ignoring David Miscavige’s calls. Marty Rathbun, a top church exec, was sent to UK to audit Cruise, and he “was gradually drawn back into the world of Scientology.”
-The church apparently felt threatened by Kidman’s influence over Tom, so they hired infamous PI Anthony Pellicano to spy on her and tap her phone
-They also turned the couple’s tw children, Isabella and Connor, against Kidman
-The National Enquirer contacted Travolta’s team about an upcoming story about Travolta's alleged male lovers. Scientology "dug up dirt on the sources and threatened the media with lawsuits", fearing that it would ruin the image of "the perfect Scientology couple of John and Kelly Preston"
-While the church claims not to be anti-gay, “the threat of a story describing a Scientologist as gay would cause panic internally because for a Scientologist, not being ‘cured’ of homosexuality would indicate, that the tech doesn’t work.”
-Scientology denies everything and calls Mike Rinder "an inveterate liar who seeks to profit from his dishonesty"
