Ex-scientologist reveals creepy song she claims they sang as kids: 'Like a horror movie'

The niece of Scientology leader David Miscavige has shared unsettling details about a song she says she learned while growing up within what she described as ‘the cult’.

Jenna Miscavige, aged 40, recently uploaded a video of herself singing the song lyrics while walking around her neighborhood in California, as part of a series of revealing YouTube videos discussing her encounters with the Scientology faith.

The mother of two claimed that the song, titled ‘Carry On’, was utilized to ‘indoctrinate’ younger members, referred to as ‘cadets’, who were assigned strenuous tasks like ‘digging trenches, hauling rocks, planting trees, and construction work’.

‘It’s so culty. It’s so, like, child grooming. And it’s so obvious… so blatant that it’s almost funny,’ she claimed in the video.

Viewers of her YouTube channel were quick to comment about how creepy the song was, with one claiming ‘it’s like something from a horror movie’.

The Church of Scientology has previously denied that children were forced to engage in manual labor.

Jenna is the daughter of Elizabeth ‘Bitty’ Miscavige and Ron Miscavige Jr, the elder brother of controversial Scientology leader David Miscavige. 

Ron left the church in 2000 while David has faced a series of lawsuits, including human trafficking allegations – which the Church has emphatically denied. 

Jenna said she fled the scientology religion 20 years ago and is now based in California with her two children after divorcing her husband last year.

Since leaving she has become one of the organization’s biggest critics and penned a best-selling memoir titled ‘My Secret Life Inside Scientology and My Harrowing Escape’. 

One of her biggest allegations has been that that children were forced to work in de facto labor camps, where she claims she was made to ‘drudge rocks up from cold streams’. 

In a YouTube video posted earlier this year she said: ‘I thought it would be interesting to do a little video about one of the songs we would sing when I was a kid growing up in Scientology.

‘This would be from when I was about six-years-old and until I was twelve-years-old – I basically lived at a boarding school,’ she continued.

She claimed she did not live at home with her parents, but instead stayed at a base in Florida that housed children of members in the Sea Organization – which she said was the religion’s ‘most dedicated and elite group’. 

‘The kids are sort of sent to this school where we did a bunch of manual labor,’ she alleged. ‘And we were sort of considered to be training to be Sea Org members – so we were called Cadets’.

She claimed that once a year on August 12, Sea Org Scientologists would engage in an event called ‘Sea Org day’ where they would celebrate being members and perform a little show for their parents. 

‘The song that we sang every year was called “Carry on”, and it has a lot of Scientology jargon in it, so it’s a little bit hard to understand – but I’ll try to explain it as I go,’ she said.

Jenna then proceeded to sing several verses of the song while strolling the streets of the San Diego suburb, Vista.   

‘Singing while I’m on my walk, but it’ll be fun. ‘I don’t remember all of the verses but I remember a few.’ she told viewers.

‘It’s so culty. It’s so, like, child grooming. And it’s so obvious… so blatant that it’s almost funny. But it’s kind of not funny,’ she continued.

Jenna claimed the first verse of the song was about the founder of Scientology L. Ron Hubbard. She said the lyrics were essentially saying he had done the work he came here to do and that ‘the rest is up to you’.

The next verse was about ‘cadets’ – which she said ‘is us little kids’. 

‘It’s really kind of messed up, when you think about the fact that we were doing 35 hours of heavy labor each week. And when I say heavy labor, like, no joke, digging trenches, hauling rocks, planting trees, digging rows, harvesting vegetables, painting, doing construction,’ she claimed. 

Jenna then sang the verse: ‘The cadets are working hard you know. Doing projects while our bodies grow. And we’re trained to be to be top flight S.O. Carry on, carry on’.

She explained that the acronym was short for Sea Og, and claimed the song meant they were being trained to be top flight Sea Org members. 

‘In Scientology, they believe that kids are just Thetans, or spiritual beings or adults in small bodies, since we live supposedly lifetime after lifetime. There’s really no such thing as a kid in Scientology,’ she continued.

She claimed this is why ‘they’re okay’ not giving children proper schooling and having them do labor.

‘It would be frowned upon if they, like, completely treated us like adults. So they sort of sequestered us away at this boarding school so they could treat us like adults and have us do heavy labor away from the public eye,’ she alleged.

The third verse, she claimed, was about where their parents worked, which she claimed was known as ‘the Gold Base’. 

A fourth verse was about a management unit she claimed is known as ‘The Commodore’s Messenger Organization (CMO)’. 

‘It’s basically the group of people – usually young girls – who worked for L. Ron Hubbard directly,’ she alleged. 

‘They carried messages for him, and they did his laundry, and they just run programs into Scientology churches – and it’s called CMO’.

‘That was the group that my mom was is,’ she claimed. 

She then sang the verse: ‘The CMO are the emissaries of the man who has shown us how to be free. They are leading us to a planet clear and free. Carry on carry on.’

More verses detailed other alleged organizations within the secretive religion.

One was about the ‘auditors’ of the Hubbard Guidance Center, which Jenna claimed elicit donations and interrogate members – and could even involve using de facto lie detector tests.

She sang: ‘The Auditors in the HGC use technology to set beings free. Every single being, not just you and me. Carry on, carry on.’ 

Another verse, she claimed, is about the ‘senior most body in Scientology – the Religious Technology Center’.

The final verse, according to Jenna, is: ‘Keep the ship on course. Keep the purpose strong. I am off to the Stars. Here’s the helm. Don’t take long . Carry on, carry on.’

After finishing the song, Jenna recalled being oblivious to the meaning while a little girl at the Sea Org center.  

She said she graduated there at 18 and remained a Scientologist for three more years before leaving.

‘Yeah, so, I just think it’s really interesting to sort of teach kids to sing things that they don’t really know what they’re singing about – especially on the verse about Cadets,’ she said.

‘It’s saying how we’re training to be “Top Flight” Sea Org members, you know – but we’re not even getting an education where we know what our opportunities are in life, or what our rights are – or anything like that.’

‘I mean, I was completely separated from the outside world,’ she continued. ‘We’re basically kind of paraded in front of them on a stage, and singing songs to them as if we’re just cute little kids, and as if we’re not doing manual labor every day. 

‘And we’re so proud of ourselves for doing it, because we know our parents will be proud of us – which is something that all of us crave insanely, because we don’t even live with our parents. And, yeah that’s just so messed up,’ she concluded.

DailyMail.com has approached the Church of Scientology for comment but did not receive a response.
