Scientology cult ordered me to have an abortion

Sun Investigation: British mum’s hell in celeb church

A BRITISH mum who escaped Scientology after 20 years has revealed her hell in the clutches of the weird secretive cult that targets Hollywood celebs.

In a startling expose of the sci-fi inspired church — which boasts Tom Cruise and John Travolta as leading members — brave Sam Domingo, 45, from Kent, says they:

FORCED her to have an abortion when her husband got her pregnant because cult leaders didn’t approve

PUNISHED her for disobedience by making her dig a huge hole in frozen earth with a pickaxe for two weeks

SENT her to indoctrinate rich stars at the Scientology Celebrity Centre in Hollywood

TOOK her passport away so she couldn’t flee and fly home

MADE her scrub a tunnel full of rats and cockroaches for being “disloyal”.

Is there a difference between a religion and a cult?
