Strolling down the sunny Californian streets, Connor Cruise and his friend Alanna Masters look like two average all-American kids. But as the son of Tom Cruise, arguably Scientology’s most esteemed member, Connor, 18, is the ‘worst person’ for  Alanna to become close to, according to her father. Joe Reaiche, 55, who has not seen his two children for the past nine years since being ex-communicated from the church, told MailOnline: ‘If there is any chance that Alanna is connected to Connor, he is the worst person for her to be around.

After '18 years of constant learning and exorbitant costs’, Joe estimates he had paid out to ‘close to $400,000’ on Scientology services and sources for him and his wife. Joe told how the couple were invited to an event in Clearwater in 1996 by David Miscaviage where he alleges they were informed the church had developed a ‘more exact approach to the Spritual Bridge of Total Freedom and corrected the system, therefore all prior spiritual services or courses that were done by you over the last 18 years was incorrect and hindered your results. ‘ . This new system was called The Golden Age of technology and would cost another $20,000 for Joe and Carol to correct the past.

This, Joe said, he simply did not want to comply to – and was indeed told to leave.
