More on David Miscavige
Description from Wikipedia:
David Miscavige (born April 30, 1960 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is the chairman of the board of Religious Technology Center (RTC), a corporation that controls the trademarked names and symbols of Dianetics and Scientology, and "holds the ultimate ecclesiastical authority regarding the standard and pure application of L. Ron Hubbard’s religious technologies." RTC is a separate corporation from the Church of Scientology and Miscavige is officially described as "worldwide ecclesiastical leader of the Scientology religion."
Miscavige was an assistant to Hubbard while a teenager, and rose to leadership positions within the organization by the early 1980s. He was named Chairman of the Board of RTC in 1987, some months after Hubbard's death. Miscavige's position is paramount within current scientology but not the one once held by L. Ron Hubbard as the originator and founder.
Among Scientologists, Miscavige is often referred to simply as his initials, "DM" or "C.O.B." for Chairman of the Board. He reportedly lives at Scientology's Gold Base, which is also the main RTC headquarters, near Hemet, California.
