The church of scientology 1 editions

The Scott case brought about the end of the Cult Awareness Network and marked a significant turning point in the anticult movement in the United States. The final irony, however, took place in bankruptcy court in 1996, as CAN's logo, furniture, and phone number were auctioned off. Stephen Hayes, a Scientologist, outbid Cynthia Kisser herself and won what remained of CAN's assets for $20,000. Today, New CAN is in fact an advocate of religious tolerance and freedom that is undoing the negative biases of anticult groups like the old CAN.
