IRS to Crack Down on Politicking Churches By Hilary White WASHINGTON, July 20, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Internal Revenue Service of the US has issued a warning to churches that it will not wait until tax return time to go after churches that the agency judges to be indulging in political campaigning.
As in Canada, the US keeps close restrictions against direct involvement of churches in political campaigns, using the threat against the churches’ tax-exempt status as the stick.
The Associated Press reports that more than 15,000 tax-exempt organizations received the notices. The agency’s new enforcement program, called the Political Activity Compliance Initiative, will rely upon complaints and will expedite investigations into claims of improper campaigning.
"While the vast majority of charities and churches do not engage in politicking, an increasing number did take part in prohibited activities in the 2004 election cycle," IRS Commissioner Mark W. Everson said in a statement. "The rule against political campaign intervention by charities and churches is long established. We are stepping up our efforts to enforce it."
Every single person and every single creature that is alive today on this Earth
- August 24, 2008 til around the year 2880 will all be dead when January 1, 3000 happens.
What do I know:
- I don't even know exactly how many generations of people that is.
- I have absolutely no idea what the terrain will look like then,
and I know that most things occurring today,
and for quite awhile from now, will not matter
or even be remembered by those alive then.
Will they even have books?
What can happen around the span of a 1000 years or so?
- The Roman Empire lasted approx 851 years. [625BC-476AD]
- The Pilgrim exploring party went ashore at Plymouth in America approx [1620] 388 years ago.
- The Nazi Party Ruled about 12 years [1933-1945]
- The Titanic took approx 2 hours and 40 minutes for her to sink. [11:40pm:14th-2:20am:15th April 1912]
- There is active Christian discussion on this being the latter day
- the time being at hand -
that indicates that somewhere in this clock
the prophecied tribulation could happen.
Would I be worthy?
- 10 out of 10 people do not leave this world alive.
- Somewhere in the time of this clock I'll be leaving here,
just like others I have known have already left.
- I know that spirits exist.
Do I know where those I have known are in spirit - no.
But I know that they are alive in the Lord's heart.
I know that He knows just where they are.
I hope and pray that they are ok.
In His heart I know and believe that they are.
- I believe in the promises of Christ, and know that I am ok.
What do you know?
