Twenty years after escaping Scientology's Sea Organization, we continue to experience the cult's relentless "Fair Game" policy firsthand. Last Thursday, we received a threatening email from Freedom Magazine—Scientology's propaganda arm—attempting to intimidate us over a business we closed in 2014. This intrusion marks just the latest chapter in their decades-long campaign to silence former members who speak truth about David Miscavige's abusive regime.
The email exemplifies how Scientology operates: they monitor former members indefinitely, collect information through sophisticated skip-tracing software, and deploy intimidation tactics targeting livelihoods and relationships. We've witnessed friends being shown "dossiers" about us and given ultimatums—cut ties with the Headleys or lose access to Scientologist family members. This emotional blackmail keeps many former members silent, while others like us continue documenting these harassment campaigns.
During our combined 29 years inside, we observed how Scientology transforms members into productive "machines" while isolating them within an ecosystem of control. Upon leaving, we discovered how the organization plants spies, dispatches private investigators to follow former members, and interferes with businesses to create economic hardship. Most chillingly, we've confirmed that nothing happens within the Office of Special Affairs without David Miscavige's direct approval—making him personally responsible for these ongoing tactics.
Despite their efforts to discredit and silence us, we continue speaking out because the truth matters. Their desperation reveals their vulnerability—a multi-billion dollar organization still threatened by former members simply telling their stories. If you're considering Scientology, know that your family relationships, privacy, and freedom will become leverage should you ever wish to leave. For those already trapped inside, organizations like the Aftermath Foundation offer resources and support when you're ready to escape.
