22:23 – Jah explains there was an organization in LA in the 1980s called The Center of Cult Awareness, which sparked up in the wave of new religions. It was a group dedicated to informing people of what they could do if a friend or loved one got involved in a cult or group. One of the groups they were very opposed to was scientologists. Two people came and applied for a job there, and under “Religion” they put “Scientologists.” They were denied employment there, and used the applications to sue the company. In getting sued, the company went bankrupt, Scientology bought the company and kept it going, so now when you call the Center for Cult Awareness you’re speaking to Scientologists.
