August 22nd, 1990. Geraldo Rivera on his namesake talk show brings us ‘Cult Moms’, with this segment focusing on a mom who escaped the Church of Scientology, as well as a current member.
“..Scientology helps people be more aware of themselves, people find out more about their lives and what they want to do in it, we’re in the business….of keeping families together.”
This segment focuses on whether Scientology and other potential cults tend to prey on women going through a major life change; divorce, tragic loss. Is the Church of Scientology destructive, or does it change peoples’ lives for the better? We also hear from a cult expert and psychologist in the audience about Dianetics, L. Ron Hubbard, and his son who committed suicide.
This day, Geraldo’s television history.”
