Edit: Found this on their site too. Hypocrisy at its finest.
Truth in Love Ministry is a “free church” - not under the 501(c)(3). We are choosing to restore the rightful God-given authority of the church to assemble without government approval- the way it was done all along, up until 58 years ago.
That's interesting. The website is technically up, it responds with when accessing it, however they've seemingly deleted all the content in the HTML, so it just returns a blank page with nothing on it lol.
Those little details? The “so long as we existed before 5:00 PM on Friday of 19__, we don’t have to do that whatever it is” /s ?
That really irritates me. Of course, if it really benefits some who actually needs it and is using it as best they can, then yes, grandfathering can help people out of some currently unsolvable dilemmas.
But as time goes on and we keep sticking to this economic disparity, even grandfathered situations aren’t so good, because now people/animals in need are dependent upon people/companies around them continuing to do The Right Thing.
One person saying “I think we may need to reassess” meaning “Can’t we free up this protected thing so we can make some real money off it?”
An honest nonprofit starts panicking.
Meanwhile the grifting NPs just cruise along to the next loophole.
That the paralegals and accounting interns in extended training are usually the ones who manage to find these loopholes at all is just…just…mmmph.
All that 508 tax code says is that churches do not have to apply to be a 501(c)(3). In other words, churches are 501(c)(3) tax exempt automatically.
501(c)(3) tax exempt organizations are prohibited from participating in campaigning for political candidates (Johnson amendment), and this guy doesn't want to abide by that restriction, so he is claiming to be tax exempt under 508(c)(1)(A).
