This is basically true, although I had a dickens of a time finding specifics in the religious/psychology/sociological research - everyone is happy to claim that cults have horrible retention rates, but none of them seem to present much beyond anecdotes.
I'll confess I was using remembered statistics for the Moonies, not fresh ones. The data I remember from a couple of years ago seems to have been rendered unGooglable by the news of Sun Myung Moon's death.
Scientology is easier to find fresh statistics for, but harder to find consistent statistics for. I personally suspect the correct value is lower, but 10% is about the median in easily accessible sources.
