Never was! They added CCHR for tax purposes. Hubbard was a really stupid fanatic. Because I'm an actress, I was invited to check it out. OMG! It's so stupid it's laughable. Big, successful scam for lonely, insecure people!

Too many false info. Too many ppl from so many churches have their own problems w/ any church. So when things didn't work out they blame the church & it religious for their problems!

Would suggest reading the book and also researching its cited sources, but this documentary based on it is a fascinating work as well with people sharing their alleged experiences in their own words during the interview segments.
