Having been around since The Founding Church of Scientology was established
in 1955 in Washington, D.C., all I can say is "Good for the Germans!"   The
tax fraud perpetuated by this phony religion should never have been allowed
to happen.  Hubbard was very open in 1955 about how Scientology (unlike
Dianetics) would be a religion for tax purposes.  And why did he need this
shield?  Because (again, unlike Dianetics) Scientology was *designed* to
make money.

The Scientologists' goal to to follow the Mormon Church and turn their
money-making nut-cult into a mainstream, established religion within 100
years.   At the nearly 50-year point, they are now able to glimpse their
goal in the near-distance.   No doubt partly thanks to Tom Cruise, et al.

*Sigh*....
