Description
A Billion Years My Escape from a Life in the Highest Ranks of Scientology In 1980, Mike Rinder signed a billion-year contract, committing him to Scientology's elite inner circle, the Sea Organization. He was just 17 years old. Rinder's journey took him to the highest ranks of the organization, where he became its international spokesperson and head of the Office of Special Affairs. He negotiated Scientology's pivotal tax exemption from the IRS and worked with prominent celebrity members, including Tom Cruise, Lisa Marie Presley, and John Travolta. However, as the years passed, Rinder began to question the organization's true intentions. He felt that the promises made by its founder, L. Ron Hubbard, had not been fulfilled, and that the current leader, David Miscavige, was a ruthless and vindictive man. In 2007, at the age of 52, Rinder finally escaped Scientology. His decision would have far-reaching consequences, and he became one of the organization's biggest public enemies. Today, Rinder continues to help people break free from Scientology's grip, sharing his remarkable story in this candid and deeply felt memoir.
