Using Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” As a Weapon by the Church of Scientology
Scientology is under attack again, this time from a new documentary entitled Going Clear. In a story called “16 Shocking Allegations in Scientology Documentary ‘Going Clear,'” the Huffington Post reports this about Sea Org, one of the churches branches:
15. Sea Org members were allegedly tortured to the sounds of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”
In 2004, [Scientology leader David] Miscaviage apparently ordered the top members of the Sea Org to live in what was known as The Hole in the Church’s secret Gold Base in California. In the film, former members say they were told to confess their crimes against the Church in order to leave The Hole. Beyond beatings and one man being ordered to “mop up the bathroom floor with his tongue,” another method of abuse was when members were forced to play musical chairs to “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Those participating were “fighting to stay” in the Church: whoever didn’t have a seat when the music stopped was expelled from the Church.
