David Miscavige: L. Ron Hubbard’s Trusted Friend.
In October 1982, Mr. Hubbard bestowed the “Star of Trust” pin on David Miscavige. This honor is memorialized by a unique gold pin with a diamond in the center, and an identification card noting its importance.
The recognition, L. Ron Hubbard wrote, was inspired by the idea that a person with that pin and with that card could put a situation straight and would be believed over and above others pretending to so act.”
Mr. Hubbard further explained that the card and pin represent a person whom he knew from experience he could “trust without reservation.”
“Trust and friendship are things forged in fire and pounded out on the anvil of life. We have been through a lot together. I trust you as you trust me.”
In presenting the Star of Trust to Mr. Miscavige, L. Ron Hubbard noted: “Trust and friendship are things forced in fire and pounded out on the anvil of life. We have been through a lot together. I trust you as you trust me.”
Ron Hubbard entrusted David Miscavige to meet the demands of a growing church and movement that required steady, determined leadership.
