Former Scientology Enforcer Marty Rathbun Examines His Past as the Church's "Warrior" May 29, 2013, Tony Ortega, Underground Bunker

---

Full warrior mode, circa 1990 Last week, Mark "Marty" Rathbun sent us a review copy of his newest book, Memoirs of a Scientology Warrior. We're grateful that he did. After all, we weren't gentle with our review of his first book, a sort of manifesto for the Independent Scientology community that he's such a big part of.

Rathbun was once the second-highest ranking official in the Church of Scientology and oversaw its bruising legal strategies for many years. He had a reputation for being the "enforcer" for a church not known for turning the other cheek.

But after his defection in 2004 and then resurfacing in 2009, Rathbun quickly became, in our estimation, the single greatest threat to the ongoing existence of the church.
