Kathy Haggis Continues to Disown Brother Paul

Church of Scientology's counter-PR push against HBO doc Going Clear includes damning interview with filmmaker's younger sister.

Kathy's account sounds to me like the typical disowning and vilifying of Scientologists who have defected, even by their own family members who remain in the church, so its hard to know the truth.

Very true but her blog about him was very revealing, insider stuff about how he steals ideas and then has others do the writing. Unfortunately, since her death, all those blags have disappeared

Her allegations might have been part of what Haggis has referred to many times in describing himself in various interviews over the years--that he's not a good person, that he's a selfish bastard and a deeply broken person, etc. He does volunteer that he never killed anyone.

What is it short of murder that's weighing on Haggis? I sense there's plenty more than his sister put forward, all without doubt shared with the Church of Scientology while gripping an E-meter--and all on record.

I think it's probably useful to compare his statements against the church with those of others who've left the fold and are coming forward...What things have others condemned the church for but he has chosen NOT to? Research ongoing.
