Well, it appears that some people are abusing their tax status for personal gain. Collecting millions of dollars and claiming a tax exemption because it came thru a non-profit organization and then treating yourself to a Rolls Royce from that money is abusing the tax status.
From what I have heard, the government should not have too much problem finding lots of evidence to support this from different groups. It would not suprise me if some of the mega churches get into a little bit of hot water over this.

We give churches tax free status with the expectation thatthey will be transpaernt with their finceces, If there are alligations that they are not then they need to be investigated.

I didn't know anything about this, is their a link? What dastardly forms of corruption are they into now?
Thanks for the link Joe. Sweet, all these cons are on TBN. I hope they get it handed to them big time. It is one thing to preach the prosperity gospel, but when you are getting all your money from people's hand outs this is different than earning it. These people are about as christ-like as Saddam Hussein. We need to bring these pieces of garbage down.

Honey, the U.S. Senate has the lowest job approval rating in all of American history - 11% !! They're just trying to find something creative to do, even if it's ridiculous. But ridiculous is what Democrats do so well!
God bless!

Not important, if the churches are doing something wrong then they need to be corrected, and if not, why worry..
The Muslims have some huge Mosques.

I hope they nail them to the cross.
When a preacher of a church is worth a couple of million dollars and people are starving and homeless with no help,I think its appalling.

It's the system way of turning on religion to get rid of its part to do with politics. Religion has slept in the bed with politics too long for religion to start to point the finger at it. Remember one world government, it must get rid of religion to do it!

Good for them, any business that turns a profit should be charged taxes.
