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 is the daughter of Ron Miscavige, Jr. and the niece of Scientology leader David Miscavige. Hill, with Kendra Wiseman and Astra Woodcraft (both also raised in Scientology), founded the website exscientologykids.com. She has been interviewed about her experiences within Scientology by a number of media outlets, including ABC's ''Nightline'' in April 2008, and ''Piers Morgan Tonight'' in February 2013 discussing details of the church. In 2000, when Hill was 16, her father and mother left Scientology. Hill states that due to the Scientology-ordered practice of disconnection with relatives and friends who don't support Scientology or are hostile to it, letters from her parents were intercepted and she was not allowed to answer a telephone for a year. She described her experience from ages 5 to 12 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."〔 In 2013 she published her book ''Beyond Belief: My Secret Life Inside Scientology and My Harrowing Escape'' under the William Morrow imprint of HarperCollins. Jointly written with Lisa Pulitzer, a former correspondent for ''The New York Times'', the book recounts her experience of Scientology in detail. The Church of Scientology has denied the accuracy of her account.〔("Ex-scientologist: I was brainwashed." BBC.co.uk. 8 March 2013. Retrieved 17 July 2013 )〕 On February 8, 2013, while appearing on radio's ''Opie & Anthony Show'', she stated that she first learned about the story of Xenu from watching the ''South Park'' episode "Trapped in the Closet".〔 〕 Hill met her husband, Dallas, who was also formerly involved in Scientology, in 2001. They married soon afterwards, and have two children together. ==See also== *Scientology controversies 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jenna Miscavige Hill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
