Katie Holmes' Family Given Information About 'Grip' Scientology Has On Tom Cruise, Says Ex-Member Marty Rathbun

"I did audit sessions with Tom Cruise from 2001-2004, and I can tell you that I have a friend that has been providing Katie Holmes' family information for years about the iron grip the Church of Scientology has on Tom Cruise's family and professional life. This has been going on for at least four years" Rathbun says.

Rathbun declined to reveal if the information was being given to Katie's lawyer father, Martin, or her mother Kathleen.

Marty Rathbun became a Scientologist in 1977 and quickly rose to the highest ranks within the church and became a Sea Org, which troubleshoots and audits people and problems, within the organization.

According to literature, "Auditing is a central practice in Scientology through which a practitioner is cleared of negative influences known as engrams in order to heighten spiritual awareness and access currently untapped potential. Auditing sessions involve two people: the person being audited and an auditor. The person being audited is generally referred to as a pre-Clear in public Scientology literature, although Clears continue to participate in a similar process. The auditor monitors a device known as an electro-psychometer, or E-meter. The pre-Clear holds a metal cylinder in each hand, both of which are attached by wires to the E-meter."
