Scientology is weaker now than it’s been in decades. Membership has been in steep decline since its height in the 1990s, from around 100,000 members globally to around 20,000-30,000 today. Much of that’s due to the massive negative publicity against the church, with multiple movies and documentaries exposing their secrets, showcasing their intimidation tactics, and throwing light on the sinister activities of their leaders. As such, their membership is rapidly aging, with any younger members born into the church rather than signing up. But even Scientology in decline is powerful and dangerous. The church is worth an enormous amount of money and owns large swathes of real estate, so even with dwindling members remains a threat. @jennamiscavige My Uncle is the leader of Scientology Different stories, same cult. Here’s why. Why Tom Cruise and Elisabeth Moss get privileges in Scientology that I never could. #scientology #scientologyshannon #handmaidstale #tomcruise #elizabethmoss @Aaron Smith-Levin @Jessica Palmadessa @StreetsLA ♬ original sound – jennamiscavige All of which makes Jenna Miscavige Hill a very brave woman. Hill’s father is Ronnie Miscavige Jr, the older brother of Scientology mastermind David Miscavige. Her parents joined Scientology when she was two, signing her up for a billion-year contract with Sea Org at age eight. Hill eventually became disillusioned with Scientology after finally being able to freely access TV and internet in the early 2000s, and left altogether in 2005. Where is Shelly? Now she’s launched a TikTok channel setting out to expose its secrets, and her revelations are leaving users horrified. Her most popular posts zero on in her missing aunt Shelly Miscavige, wife of David. Hill says: “My Aunt, Shelly Miscavige, hasn’t been seen by anyone outside of Scientology since 2005″. @jennamiscavige My Uncle is the leader of Scientology Until 2007, my Aunt Shelly regularly appeared alongside my Uncle David at public events. After that year, she appeared to withdraw from public view, leading many to believe that she was missing #scientology #scientologyshannon #whereisshelly #jennamiscavige @Aaron Smith-Levin @Jessica Palmadessa @StreetsLA ♬ original sound – jennamiscavige Many have assumed she’s been killed, though Jenna claims to know the real truth: “My Aunt Shelly works at a base near Lake Arrowhead. She’s reportedly been seen visiting a chiropractor, going out to the movies, going out to eat Italian food. These are all privileges far beyond what I or other Scientology workers ever had.” Other videos detail the attacks on Hill by Scientology, with her most recent video detailing them attempting to force her to sign a document saying she’d be sued for millions of dollars if she spoke negatively about Scientology after she’d left. She then explained their efforts to separate her from her husband, which included psychological torture and extensive interrogation. @jennamiscavige My Uncle is the leader of Scientology The story of how I left Scientology and they tried to ruin my life #scientology #scientologyshannon #storytime @Aaron Smith-Levin @Jessica Palmadessa @StreetsLA ♬ original sound – jennamiscavige We should be thankful that each year that passes, Scientology grows smaller as its elderly members die with no younger ones to replace them. But a fox is most dangerous when it’s cornered, so we don’t anticipate any let-up in the church’s legal warfare, stalking campaigns, and online astroturfing.
