The great blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach; but we shut our eyes, and like people in the dark, we fall foul upon the very thing we search for, without finding it.
- Seneca


Our ideas, like orange-plants, spread out in proportion to the size of the box which imprisons the roots.

Meet the Admins

kendraKendra Wiseman

Kendra grew up in Los Angeles, went to school at Delphi LA and spent a year on staff at CCHR. Born into a Scientology family, Kendra's parents and most of her family disconnected from her in 2005 when she refused to stop speaking to anti-Scientologists online.

Kendra named her first computer "Zot", and stubbornly called it that until she was 15. She plays Magic: The Gathering and actively fosters her unhealthy obsession with Flash RPGs. She currently lives in Beijing, China, where she works as a writer and designer. Her published articles have appeared in the San Diego Reader, the Sacramento News & Review and other national and international publications.

jennaJenna Miscavige Hill

Jenna is the niece of David Miscavige, current leader of Scientology. She grew up as a member of the Sea Organization, and was disconnected from her parents at a young age. She left in 2005, and is is now happily married, living a fulfilling life outside the church.

Jenna first spoke out in response to Scientology spokeswoman Karin Pouw's denial that disconnection exists within Scientology. Jenna wrote a moving public letter refuting these claims. Since then, Jenna has been an active opponent of Scientology abuses, and hopes that her work can help educate others about the dangers of Scientology and the Sea Org. Jenna was recently featured on Inside Edition, and other scheduled media appearances are currently in the works.
