There you will find a vine-covered structure roofed over with polyurethane foam, looking oddly like the cottage in the tale of Hansel and Gretel. This is the Worship House.

...cities, where followers were urged to contribute to the Clintons' defense fund. Some members gave directly; the Washington Post reported that others were told contributions would be made in their name. Trie's ties to the group are a mystery, but then so is the cult. Sect members, who worship a 46-year-old woman whose real name is Hue Thi Thanh Wallenstatter, are said to believe in, among other things, the curative powers of their master's bathwater, the Wall Street Journal reported...
