Beachbum', to the extent that these organizations claim tax exemptions it is matter for public scrutiny. If they gave up that status, then it would be for the IRS to monitor and that is done confidentially until or unless you are sent off to a federal facility. .

Their tax exmpt claim is certainly public business. It is a matter of public law and properly the oversite of the Congress. Take some tiem to find out what you are talking about before you pop off.

"Special organizations" where did you get that notion, from the guys collecting your money? You need a caretaker, or at least adult supervision. .

What do you think! This racket is a money venture and they are living huge and don't pay taxes. Have you ever seen Benny Hinn, it is just a scam and they are taking advantage of people who believe this crap. It is sad but if people are stupid enough to donate well that is there problem, what is a matter with their local church

The separation of church & state. The church wants the advantage of this separation when it comes to their financial records. They want the exclusion from revealing any of those records. The church also revels in the current list of candidates that constantly proclaim their religion in the political arena. I would guess that some political candidates, who practiced the ministry before switching to politics, was dead set against any revealing of his church's financial records to the government. However, now it suits them to proclaim their religion while in the political arena. A one sided view in my mind. If the government didn't belong in their religion's business, then their religion doesn't belong in the business of government. Many TV evangelist live very,very well on the contributions of the people that send them their $10 every week. Many of them are millionaires. To be viewed by the IRS would reveal the direction the money they collect takes.

Put aside the fact that it is a racket for a moment. The one that is refusing has handed over some. They want more. He said "Get a warrant". As is his right as an U.S. citizen. I agree it's a racket. I agree that instead of buying cars, houses etc they should feed the people. But I also agree with him standing by his rights as he covers his butt.

They do get scrutinized by a special organization that handles such organizations and besides they will have to ultimately answer to a higher authority.

It saddens me to see people in high repute take that respect and use it for ill gotten gains. It saddens me to see someone take the Gosepl of Christ and try to twist it to allow them to live under 'the prosperity gospel'. Christ said, "You cannot serve God and money." Unfortunately, these ministers too often seem to be serving money rather than God.

Because its non of there business, what you don't believe in separation of church and state. Does the state finance the church. Its Called faith based. why doesn't the Dem congress investigate itself.
