The Church of Scientology, known for
celebrity and controversy, is now in the middle of another public
relations crisis as a former high-ranking official has created a
firestorm, first with an email to church members and then testimony in a
Texas state court alleging she saw the church's leader punch another
executive in the face, and that at his direction she herself was
slapped.
For 17 years Debbie Cook ran the church's spiritual mecca, the so-called Flag Base in Clearwater, Florida, where she ultimately rose to the title of captain. But Cook testified this month that beginning in 2005 she saw behavior exhibited by church leader David Miscavige that disturbed her deeply.
