Huh, we had a chain of vegan raw food restaurants that wound up closing due to employee lawsuits alleging that they were heavily pressured to buy into Landmark Forum (née “est)” seminars. More cultish than churchy, but I’m sure they’d love the tax exemption if they thought they could get away with it like Scientology.
(The food was a little pricey but surprisingly delicious. Who knew raw vegan food could be more than, like, kale salad?)
