"While she was there," Woodcraft said, "she was recruited to join Sea Org."

Established in 1968 by Hubbard himself, The Sea Organization is a sect of Scientology dedicated to the study of past life recollections and, as Woodcraft puts it, "saving the world." A truly epic commitment, members are expected to sign a billion-year contract, one that requires them to report back for duty over the course of several lifetimes.

Woodcraft's mother soon sent for her children, and just like that, a family of five was plucked from a comfortable life in a nice house and thrust into an impoverished existence in a roach-infested hotel room.

It's nice to see mainstream media picking up on this story. Scientology enjoyed a tremendous period of relative calm from the press and the media. But thanks to Tom Cruise, the leaking of the KSW video, and the commitment of Anonymous — the American public and the world at large is once again turning its critical eye of concern back on Scientology. Something most of Europe has done for the last decade.
