Mark Rathbun Biography

Mark Rathbun is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on January 9, 1957 in United States. Mark C. “Marty” Rathbun (born 1957) was a former top Executive for the Church of Scientology who last held the position of Inspector General at the Religious Technology Center (RTC) which is the entity responsible for the safeguarding and enforcement of Dianetics and Scientology trademarks and copyrights.

Rathbun resigned from Rathbun’s Church of Scientology after 2004. Rathbun has since offered counseling and auditing services to others Scientologists who have severed their links to the Church. At first, he believed he was an independent Scientologist however, he now considers himself to be non- religious.

In May 2010, Rathbun asserted that during his tenure as Inspector General of the Religious Technology Center, Scientology leader David Miscavige issued him orders that the auditing sessions of celebrity Scientology member, actor Tom Cruise, be secretly videotaped. Rathbun had himself been the individual responsible for performing auditing counseling with Cruise. Rathbun wrote on his blog that he had been tasked with auditing Cruise during the period in 2001 directly after he had separated from Nicole Kidman. Rathbun wrote, “I audited a number of intensives of confessionals on Tom Cruise from July through November 2001. … By order of Miscavige many of those sessions were secretly recorded by a well-concealed video camera and voice recorder system built into the VIP auditing room at Celebrity Center International.” Rathbun subsequently learned that transcripts of the videotapes of Cruise were brought to meetings where they would be discussed by top management of Scientology. Rathbun wrote that Miscavige would read out information from the reports about Cruise’s auditing sessions: “While sipping scotch whisky at the end of the night, Miscavige would read Tom’s overts and withholds … joking and laughing about the content of Tom’s confessions.”

In 2013, Mark Rathbun’s wife Monique, a non-Scientologist, filed suit against the Church of Scientology, alleging four years of harassment by the church. The suit was withdrawn in May 2016, Monique saying, “My husband and I have effectively achieved the primary purpose that the lawsuit was originally intended to serve by our own independent efforts”. In October 2014, Rathbun filmed an encounter which he claimed showed three members of the church’s top management abusing him at Los Angeles International Airport.

The details of the discussions that took place in the confessional sessions with Cruise was not disclosed. Rathbun stopped filming Cruise in 2002 because the filming was considered to be unethical. Rathbun was dismissed from Scientology in 2004 and since then has provided counsel to those who were participants of Scientology. In a blog post to his personal blog the blogger made a statement Cruise: Cruise: “Wake up, Tom. It is not too late. Though, time is getting very, very short.” As on May 9 2010 representatives from Cruise have not yet responded to the claims given by Rathbun.

The year 1997 was the time The New York Times revealed that According to an inside Scientology publication Rathbun as well as Miscavige jump-started discussions on Scientology’s tax situation when they went on an unscheduled trip to I.R.S. Commissioner Fred T. Goldberg Jr. at the Internal Revenue Service headquarters in Washington in October of 1991. It was reported that the Church of Scientology and Rathbun later denied there was an unscheduled gathering between Goldberg, Rathbun and Miscavige on the day. The Church claimed it was “While an internal publication of three years ago does recount Mr. Miscavige approaching the I.R.S., it never states he was granted an unscheduled meeting on demand.” Rathbun in a separate email sent to New York Times, explained that the first meeting the two Miscavige held in person with Goldberg along with other I.R.S. officials was about one month following their spontaneous trip to the I.R.S. building.
