Jenna Miscavige Hill (born February 1, 1984) is an American former Scientologist. After leaving the Church of Scientology in 2005, she has become an outspoken critic of the organization. She was a third generation Scientologist, the granddaughter of Ron Miscavige Sr. (who also left the church in 2012), the daughter of Elizabeth and Ron Miscavige, Jr. (who left in 2000) and the niece of current[update] Scientology leader David Miscavige. She now runs a website which she co-founded with other ex-Scientologists which provides support and discussion for people either in the church or who have left.
Jenna's parents, Elizabeth and Ron Jr., joined the Sea Org, Scientology's most devout religious order when she was aged two. From then on she spent most of her childhood apart from her parents and says she was only allowed to see them once a week. At age eight she signed her own billion-year contract with Sea Org, effectively agreeing to follow their rules for life. One requirement of Sea Org was that families be separated and that "children over the age of six would be raised communally at locations close to Sea Org bases"; at age six she was moved to a Cadet Org (Sea Org for children) school called "The Ranch". At the Ranch, Hill states that in addition to rote learning of the works of L. Ron Hubbard she was expected to do heavy manual labor for 25 hours a week. She described her experience from ages five to twelve thus: "We were also required to write down all transgressions... similar to a sin in the Catholic religion. After writing them all down, we would receive a meter check on the electropsychometer to make sure we weren't hiding anything, and you would have to keep writing until you came up clean."
The Church of Scientology responded to the allegations in an official statement:
The church will not discuss private matters involving Miss Hill nor any of the efforts to exploit Mr. Miscavige’s name. We note that recollections in Miss Hill's book are dramatically at odds with 30 of her classmates.
