Blown for Good: Scientology Exposed From Enforcer to Defector: Marty Rathbun's Complex Journey Through Scientology - Scientology Q&A #40
Four former high-ranking Scientology members reveal the complex, troubling story of Marty Rathbun – once David Miscavige's right-hand man who later became one of Scientology's most significant defectors before mysteriously returning to defend the organization.
• Marty Rathbun served as Inspector General of RTC and David Miscavige's primary enforcer despite escaping the Sea Org multiple times
• Marc Headley recounts being physically assaulted by Rathbun during an interrogation when he refused to confess to something he hadn't done
• After his final escape in 2004, Rathbun began speaking out against the church and created a blog that became a rallying point for the "Independent Scientology" movement
• The Rathbuns faced extreme harassment from Scientology's "Squirrel Busters" who monitored their home 24/7 with cameras and followed their every move
• Marty's wife Monique filed a promising harassment lawsuit against Scientology but inexplicably dismissed it, after which Marty began posting videos attacking former friends
• Despite his betrayal, the hosts express compassion for Rathbun, acknowledging his early contributions to exposing Scientology and the complex trauma that likely influenced his actions
