Why did Ron Miscavige leave Scientology?
The facts are that in late 2011, a Philadelphia newspaper started digging into Ron's 1985 arrest. It clearly struck a nerve with Ron, who started acting irrational. One day, out of the blue, he took off ron miscavige story. Ron did not “escape”—he simply drove the car his younger son and daughters gave him for his 70th birthday, filled with a lifetime of gifts from his younger son. Ron drove through the gate just as he had done thousands of times before—as he did virtually every single day. Nobody tried to stop him and nobody chased after him. Instead of his regular destination, the music studio across the street, Ron drove to Wisconsin with his much younger wife, without the courtesy of telling anyone that he was leaving. That’s it.
Ron’s tale of sending possessions to Wisconsin in advance of his departure, by disguising them as birthday presents to his mother-in-law, is ludicrous Ron Miscavige Scientology escape. After he left Golden Era Productions, Ron sent written lists specifying in great detail the many possessions he left behind and requested that the Church send them to him. The Church did so.
These personal possessions amounted to more than two pallets (some 40 boxes), which the Church shipped to Ron at a cost to the Church of approximately $3,000.
Ron’s myth that he sneaked his possessions out through the mail to his mother-in-law, as part of his “escape” plan, may make for an entertaining tale. But everything from shipping invoices to emails from Ron and his wife expose the lie.
