Multiple sources are telling the Voice that Scientology's International Base in California has experienced stunning new defections -- Roanne Leake, who is L. Ron Hubbard's granddaughter, has "blown" the base, which was her home for more than 20 years. But just as shocking, at about the same time, the base was also abandoned by David Miscavige's father, Ron Miscavige Sr....

Our sources tell us that in each case, these are crucial, longtime Scientologists who have abandoned the only world they have known for many years, and is the latest, most dramatic evidence of a crisis in David Miscavige's leadership of founder L. Ron Hubbard's odd organization.

We pressed our sources -- could these people have left the base but still remain in the church, on a mission or some kind of outreach?

"No way. They're all talking to SPs right now," said one of our sources, referring to "suppressive persons," Scientology's jargon for ex-members who have been excommunicated and cannot be contacted by members in good standing.

Add this news to John Travolta's antics, Tom Cruise's divorce, and the church's paltry numbers in Australia*, and this has been a very bad week for Co$.

"In 2011, just 2,163 Australians called themselves Scientologists, a decrease of 13.7 per cent from the 2006 census."
 
Let's hope they're willing to spill some beans. It'll be a bummer if they still believe in $cientology but just disagree with how David is running it.

Wow. This stirs up many questions, but one of them is this. It's easy to get men to have sex. Plus, Travolta is rich and famous. So why'd he have to harass anybody? Is it all about keeping it secret? What forum is this?

If he had harassed them at the rate of four a day it would have taken him 158 years. So to fit it into his adult lifetime he must have harassed a dude every hour or so, night and day. This should have been noticed at an earlier stage.

It was less likely for the young version of Travolta to strike out.

Seriously though, there are some pending actions against JT, and the hot CT is that he's been declared "fair game" by the Co$.

He's a $cientologist with a lifetime of a few billion years. That gives him plenty of time as long as he stays away from clams.
 
I also think the Tomkat divorce is going to open up a can of really bad worms in the Church.

While i would doubt the numbers, i could see how it would go down. ( no pun intended.)

He is obviously a fairly egotistical gent, and it was probably a case of , yes he could go down to the club and pick up any guy he wanted just by saying "I'm john travolta" , but he wanted A) A specific person, and B) a situation in which it could be kept quiet. Leading to aggressive advances on folks who didn't swing that way, kept quiet via his celebrity.

If i were to hazard a guess, Travolta is becoming more trouble than he is worth. Sure he is a famous face, but how far can that go in regards to putting off that perfect image scientology likes to?

By the usual rules, Katie would surely be designated an SP (Suppressive Person), and so have no access to, or communication with, any family members remaining in Co$ - which suggests she'll put everything into getting custody of Suri.

Although, given the publicity around this mess, I wouldn't be surprised if the usual rules were be suspended until it all blows over...
 
Gossip sites are already talking about Katie being followed by cos agents. It's gonna get ugly. She filed in ny because they have different custody laws that favor her getting primary custidy of suri. Well played kate, I wonder if we will see tom implode.

What did Travolta do?

Reading the accusations, it sounds extremely fishy, but he has been accused of groping a couple of guys giving him a massage and then masturbating in front of them. The first guy's story is full of holes and seems wildly ridiculous. If what I'm reading is an accurate account of his claims, Travolta supposedly did all of this in front of his personal chef and then made some crazy claims about being turned gay by Hollywood.

I could care less about this guy's sexual preferences, as long as he isn't actually molesting unwilling partners, but this seems like an obvious attempt to get an out of court settlement.
