I don't know if he said that or not. But I do know ministers and religious organizations don't pay any taxes in the United States.
That's why is so lucrative.

I'm pretty sure he did say that, given how many sources seem to confirm this. But, I think there are easier ways to make money. There are tons of people in the preaching/religion business competing for attention out there, and very few of them become rich like L.R.H. did. He was a quack, but he did have some great oratory talents.

Yes that is correct,
Scientology is a made up religion.
The only realigions that are real are ones that call jesus christ as your savior and nobody other.
