Security officials in Germany have just announced that they have decided to end their plans to ban Scientology. They will continue to watch the activities of the church, but as of yet have been unable to find enough evidence to justify the ban.
FYI: Scientology is currently recognized as a religion in the United States. This recognition came in 1993 after 35 years of investigations by the United States Internal Revenue Service. They issued ruling letters which recognized the tax-exempt status of more than 150 Scientology churches, missions, social reform organizations and other entities. Scientology was given this religious status because they were determined to operate exclusively for religious and charitable purposes.
