To embellish a bit more along this line: if it were one of these top people at Int, knowing the truth  I would lose all respect for my senior. Real respect is actually hard to fake.  Real respect is not ALWAYS deferential, complimentary, etc.  It doesn&#039;t have to be.  True respect of one being to another is unmistakable.

I think these top people not only don&#039;t want the top position but they have contempt for Miscavige because they know that he&#039;s a phony.  Moreover, :), He knows that they know and that they don&#039;t  want to be in his shoes, that they don&#039;t want his job and wouldn&#039;t touch it with a 10 foot pole, and that they not only don&#039;t respect him but have an active contempt for him.  And, last but not least, He has an active contempt for Himself..  He knows he gets no real respect which is the Why for his insatiable requirements for deference and adulation, etc.

Whew, it certainly does suck to be Miscavige.]]></description>

Here&#039;s my take on why Miscavige is permitted to stay in power.  Its because no-one else WANTS to be in charge.  Why?  

As Marty Rathbun wrote in his most recent book, &quot;Memoirs Of A Scientology Warrior&quot;, there IS NO OT9 and 10. Aside from Miscavige, the long term top people at Int can&#039;t be ignorant of this.. Who in his or her right mind would want to depose Him and head up an organization which is pretending to have a product is doesn&#039;t actually have? To be the one(s) to have to  break this news to the public or,  as the new leader(s), say nothing and carry on with this deception?]]></description>

Paul -- this is an interesting thing. 

These days the church have NO spokespeople who will talk about Scientology to the media. Miscavige doesnt trust anyone to do it right, and he won&#039;t do it himself, so its silence.

Tom Cruise, the greatest Scientologist I know and most successful disseminator in the history of history says NOTHING about Scientology these days. Though he doesnt tend to say much about anything as his career is pretty much over. 

Travolta said some stuff recently about having people with him 24/7 and that blew up about his &quot;minders&quot;

Kirstie Alley says insane thing every now and then and is sort of dismissed as sort of a kook.

Leah Remini gets a lot of press. And Miscavige keeps shooting himself in the foot with his ad hominem responses.

No other celebrities talk at all.

It&#039;s not looking good...]]></description>
