October 10th, 1991. Geraldo Rivera on his namesake talk show brings us a segment on Scientology, hearing from church president Heber C. Jentzsch and author Steve Hassan.
“Do you sir, allege that Scientology is a destructive cult?”
This segment largely begins with a response to a recent Time magazine article which accused the religous organization of being less than scrupulous. We hear from Scientologists in the audience, as well as from Monica Pignotti a former member and confidante of L. Ron Hubbard.
In 2025, the controversy continues. Scientology – religion to help millions around the world to a better life, or extortionist cult benefiting those at the top?
This day, Geraldo’s television history.
