I doubt that he had much choice in that matter, Karen. What a terrible thing it is when scientology sets family members against each other.
See, Dave, that's the wonderful thing: when you have no scruples, or are in mortal fear, you can do things like turning family members against each other without a second thought. That's the danger of dealing with Scientologists - they may look like decent people, and they may talk a good game, but they may do the most disgusting things because they believe their cause is just, or because they are in mortal fear of retribution from Scientology itself, or both.
Of course, this situation is not unique to Scientology, various cults or 'religious leaders' have manipulated their followers for millennia to commit the most heinous of crimes in the name of [fill in the blank], or in fear of eternal [fill in the blank].
The difference now is that more people are seeing what Scientology is really like because of places like this on the internet, and that is helping to break the power of Scientology over its followers. One can only hope that the internet is also helping break the power of Imams, 'Christian', 'Buddhist' , or any other spiritual leader who abuses faith to harm others, or cause others to harm others.
Faith is incredibly powerful, and incredibly dangerous. When someone like Hubbard, Miscavage, or their lieutenants abuses it, the results are appalling, as we have seen.
