Two distinct documented patterns are examined here. First, disconnection: the Church of Scientology's documented practice of requiring members to sever contact with family members and friends who are critical of the Church or have left it. This practice is attested by court testimony, regulatory findings, and named ex-members including Mike Rinder, Leah Remini, and Paul Haggis. Second, the 1993 IRS settlement granting the Church tax-exempt status after a prolonged campaign against IRS officials that the Church described as litigation; the settlement's terms were not made public, which has sustained a "secret deal" conspiracy framing. Both patterns are documented; the contested element is whether the IRS settlement constituted improper back-door dealing rather than normal legal resolution.
