The International Freezone Association, den grupp vars namn antogs som en generisk term för oberoende Scientologi, var inte den första oberoende Scientologi-gruppen; the California Association of Dianetic Auditors, den äldsta utbrytargruppen som fortfarande existerar, hävdar att de grundades i december 1950, vilket fördaterar Scientologikyrkan som organisation.
