" ... Stone hinted that Hayes was pressed to quit by his minders in the Church of Scientology."

Mind benders is more like it.

My sister has been a Scientologist for more than 20 years. She's in Clearwater right now. She stopped by my home for a visit on her way, and mentioned she'd be coming back through three weeks later. It has been over five months and she's still down there. With her seniority status, I assume she's a brainwasher rather than a brainwashee.

She's a lovely, successful businesswoman (how her business withstands these long absences is beyond me); however, she is incredibly defensive when one speaks negatively about the cult.
