David Miscavige is an arrogant POS
I think I have it figured out. Anything negative said about scientology (or David Miscavige) cannot be believed because the reporters hide behind the mask of anonymity. The problem Davey now has is that these 'anonymous' reporters are 'coming out' in droves with their pedigree information. His solution is to anonymize (my word) these sources by coming up with sophomoric pseudonyms to convey his perception of these individuals. If he is lucky, no scientologist will learn that Marty Rathburn is Kingpin; Mike Rinder is Fact-checker; Amy Scobee is Adulteress; and Tom DeVocht is Con man.
Davey's belief that his rag, Freedom Magazine, has "annihilated the credibility" of these sources is laughable. Credibility is a two way street. Does Davey believe that Tommy Davis is credible? Does Davey believe that any one of the hundreds of starry eyed acolytes he props in front of a camera is believable? Does Davey believe that his position as 'ecclesiastical leader' of the church makes him more credible than any other person on the planet?
Davey should look up the definition of 'corroboration'. He is correct that an admitted liar's testimony should be scrutinized; however, how much of what these individual has stated is corroborated by the testimony of others as well as the internal documents of the church? It must offend Davey to no end that there are criminals out there that would publicize these 'confidential church scriptures' that corroborate the misdeeds of the church and simultaneously demonstrate him a liar.
In the meantime, Tommy Davis has some crimes he needs to get off his chest. After all, didn't he corroborate the 'grassy knoll rumor' that Xenu is the etiology of the church and part of their 'sacred scripture'? Didn't he also admit that abuse in the Sea Org is "normal" for these "tough sons of bitches"? Didn't Tommy read the memo 'admit nothing, deny everything, make counter-allegations'? So while Tommy is back in cramming, I'll hang out on the 'grassy knoll'.
