I was pondering, yesterday, the effects of the 501c3 IRS category. Tucker, in speaking with the German bishop, asked, "Where are the Church leaders?" [He didn't mention Cardinal Vigano]. The black heart in me whispered in my ear that perhaps the govt had set that tax-exemption category up to get the pastors, over a long time, comfortable with being on a leading string. For just how easily did they close their churches? And collaborate in the jab-push? Then yesterday my little conspiracy theory took a new direction: March 12, 2020--last day of 'freedom'. How close to the date of April 12, the date of Easter Sunday that year. Hit 'em where it really hurts.
They absolutely reveled in (if not coordinated around) keeping us from worshipping together on Easter in April of 2020. The first and only time I missed Easter Vigil since converting to Catholicism in 1999. Keeping us from church - for us from the Mass and Eucharist - hurt more than any other part of the whole plandemic. I learned a lot about the leaders of our Church - some good but more not. We are run by humans, potentially corruptible all. God help us.
The absolute idiocy of 2020. Our pastor wanted to give the Easter blessing to any parishoner who chose to drive over to the church. Everyone was going to stay in their cars and keep the windows rolled up. The Knights of Columbus had set up the parking lot and had volunteers to make sure that everyone had followed directions. The Bishop put the kibosh on it at the last minute. The Knights were calling people to tell them not to come to the church. Official reason: it may become a super spreader event.
Yep, and it’s not just churches that have to deal with that “thorny”?issue. The National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) recently caved to the Trans lobby and told its chapters that if a Trans “woman” (biological male) who had gone to the trouble of having his I mean HER BIRTH CERTIFICATE legally changed to reflect “her” new status wanted to join the Society, the chapter COULD NOT REFUSE the applicant. All because of the risk of losing that precious 501(c)3 status. That was the last straw for me. 🤢🤢🤢🤮
UGH! I just dusted off the application my Mom recently found that my Grandpa had completed as best he could back in 1988 so I could apply to the Daughters of the American Revolution. And now to hear this?? How disappointing...
And dig in to that genealogy as far as you can…my mother’s maternal side of her tree was very well researched and documented…with almost 30 Patriots who were in the DAR index…and two Mayflower connections as well. But her paternal side had not been delved into by any of us…little did we know that Benjamin Franklin is a cousin and that we are related to most of the founding families of Nantucket! (I want my Macys Descendant Discount! And Starbucks too! LOL) Furthermore, thanks to the kindness & patience of a cousin, she showed where we had five more Mayflower connections! My mother and I were gobsmacked…So it pays to dig, dig, DIG! Blessings and happy hunting!!
It’s heartbreaking…but there are tons of other hereditary patriotic organizations out there—you’ll be amazed at the number of them. One other thing we can all do is dive in to research the Patriot Ancestors’ lives and contributions to the founding of this nation. Learn about who they were and celebrate their decision to get involved in throwing off the tyranny of the British government. Share that info with family members and see if you can re-ignite the flame of FREEDOM & LIBERTY in their hearts as well as your own. ❤️🤍💙
I was disappointed in the DAR's response (at least in our area) to the plandemic. The Founders (their ancestors) risked their lives and sacred honor to establish this country and their descendants were too afraid to meet in person for months to years. I guess by now the blood of patriots is growing thin.
I will add that I did not renew my membership this year due to the change to allow "trans" women to join. For me, this is a moral issue. There is still a nod to our Judeo-Christian roots, as we pray at the start of every meeting, but my observation these last few years is that it seems to be mostly rote and not so much heartfelt.
However, from a secular point of view, the reason the DAR exists is because the SAR (Sons of the American Revolution) would not let the women join. We are right back where we started.
Oh my goodness. The DAR, after raising us was over and done with, was my mother's firstest and bestest. Not being a group belonger, although a lover of history (how else to be a Latin teacher?), I declined to be a part. This is back in the 80's for me. But those evening gowns, and those chest ribbons with the pins!
Acceptance of 501c3 status is express, and at the very least, tacit consent to be regulated by the civil state. Such 501c3 'churches' are no longer instituted of God, but has been 'sold' to the civil power for a bowl of pottage.
Churches, real churches, are not tax exempt. Real churches are Tax Immune. Again, the Church is instituted by God as His creation which places said institution in God's Sovereign jurisdiction. Separate jurisdiction is the reason why the civil state 'cannot infringe upon' for reason of No Standing. (We have forgotten so much!)
"Are you a 501c3 church or not?", is the first question we ask of a church. If the answer is 'yes' then we are gone. Folks! Is either of God or of Man. There is no neutral ground between what is God's and what is Man's.
This is really interesting. We've always been members of a church but we switched to a different church about 3 years ago and have hesitated to officially join as members because someone else shared this same info with us. Membership status, giving etc... could be shared with the government and others.
And that the 'other side of the moon', the giving part. Our giving is solely between God and us, and no side perks to us. That is, our giving is to be pure appreciation and thanksgiving, not strings attached.
The Westminster Confession says that the sole purpose of Man is to glorify God. And I think it is question # one. Now that is a hard one to get one's hands around. And it took me awhile. But when we glorify anything other than God, we end up with governments that like to kill their own people, steal our work and wealth ... and lie, lie, lie day and night. And today? We find that 'they' the Dear Leader Cretins now want to gene edit our food and us along with it.
Tithing has nothing to do with money. The 10% they ask for is the 10% of the left side of your brain (the analytical side) that God wants us to move over to the right side in Meditation. So we have 100% on the right side which is where we are so concentrated on our 3rd eye. Please listen to Bill Donahue which he is from 11 years ago and he shows everything in scripture about the Pineal Gland which is our 3rd eye. Use your and look up that word and it’s in the Bible. So this is no new age junk. Which is what most people say. God Bless you.
It was years ago--years!--that I considered "render unto Caesar, what it Caesar's; render unto God what is God's". And it seemed to me that the PCUSA had chosen to render unto Caesar what is his, and render unto Caesar what is God's. Painful for one who had served as Elder of a PCUSA congregation.
My wife follows more this kind of thing than I do. However, I think you are overall right, although my wife tells me that some congregations are better than others. How much better is perhaps problematic. As it is, we cannot find one single church in our area of Roanoke, Virginia to which we might want to attend.
We used to be in the RPCUS until we found our own paster in error having to do with the unconditional love New Testament heresy. Not too long after we dropped out of that congregation the whole RPCUS collapsed and disintegrated. Today, the RPCUS does not exist. Seeing this kind of thing is not exactly uplifting!
I hate to say that Christians in 'churches' are not really Christians, but that is probably more the case than not. People just don't know much about Christian Orthodoxy, Church history and the general education offered both public and private has produced a race of mental dwarfs not capable of mounting a good self-defense. But on a positive note, having some moral compass and some sense of traditional norms is much, much better than taking a wild walk on the Woke Side. I just place my trust in God come what may! Because I am not greater that our Lord and therefore I don't get a special exemptions from suffering.
Around 2006 or so, I read Christianity and Liberalism by J. Gresham Machen; and I was shocked. This is the first serious Christian book I had ever read which made any sense to me. After reading it, I well understood why the churches could not defend themselves against the invading evil coming against them, and also ... infiltrating from within.
I most often think that most 'Christians' are not really Christians, and don't love and glorify God. Instead, they either have themselves planted into their minds some deformed ersatz version of God conjured up by themselves, and/or ... and more likely have had planted into their minds by dumb preachers, graduates of some one of the funky fallen clueless seminaries.

Enterprises commonly considered a business, organizations like churches fall into this category as well, do not fit the definition of "trade or business" in US Code Title 26.

They are spelled the same, pronounced the same, but as legal terms have very specific, narrow definitions. Their meaning has been obfuscated to lead even "educated" (mis- or mal-educated really, on purpose) CPAs to believe that the common meaning is in play.
It's disgusting what TPTB, in this case the federal legislature, so mostly lawyers (apologies to our esteemed host), have done with language, legalese, to scam The People. The (501)(c)(3) designation is yet another layer of disguise.

At least you're using Linux. Still functioning w Windows here. Not tech savvy. Could download the OS and fumble I suppose but time factors and learning curves...
I quit Windows because I read MSFT's Windows 8 EULA. One does not buy the Windows OS, one leases it. And the 'buyer' is a total Lease Slave. That made me very angry. So I jumped ship.
I used to buy the highest end machines with Nvidia graphics. That was a mistake. It much better to use a machine with integrated graphics built into the chip (CPU) whether it's AMD or Intel.
I you do decided to fumble, buy a cheap used machine say from eBay with Linux already loaded on it. $300.00 to $400 range, at least 16 RAM, 4 core or better CPU like Intel i5 or i7 integrated graphics. I have used many Linux operating systems. I always return to Linux Mint Cinnamon Desk Top. Easiest to use and customize and plenty of helps videos on YouTube. Also, the Software Store has about everything you would want. And adding programs using Flatpaks is duck soup.
Here is a very attractive machine at eBay ( for $369.00 ... and with a five year warrantee, free shipping and good return policy. You can run a second display with it which I like to do. Terrific deal for the money!
Thanks for the info. I should... do a lotta things. MSFT's EULA is one I never read. I read facebook's new TOU back in 2013 or whatever and said goodbye forever. Yahooo, goodbye.

Oh the adventures in tech for most of us older folks. Not all, just most I'm thinkin'. Appreciate your thoughts. Very much.
I'm just coasting on what I know which is not too much. I know how to get into BIOS/Computer settings, how to load operating systems. And operating system installers are very good, mostly automatic these days. I can format using GParted, and I can use the customising option on the operating system installers, but lately don't even bother. Linux Mint installer is very easy to use.
Best of wishes for the best of outcomes in this now very cussed world.
Well amen for automatic installers. The rest of tech references you made... what? Time to fire up Startpage but... yeahno, not happenin' today. Take a compliment: You're way ahead o' me.🙄Oof.
Take your time with the text. My experience 7 or 8 years ago involved cognitive dissonance. Every cell in my body was screeching, This *can't* be true!! You have a plandemic behind you.

Thanks for the early note that you're embarking. Not a quick read. As said, take your time. 💪
I had a pastor 20 years ago who said he believed the tax system weakens the Church and would be happy to have the exemptions taken away. He said it would weed out a lot of Church goers who were posing as believers because they also got tax exemptions.
If churches had to pay taxes on their buildings, there are places where it would be impossible for a congregation to own a church building because the taxes on the building would be too high. So that's an issue as well.
It would change everything. His point was that when we, any person or group, becomes dependent on government, we must necessarily live by the rules they set. What looks like a good thing can be used against us.
You're not wrong about that 501c3 connection. There are many reasons for a church to avoid it, the principal one being that they should not answer to anyone but God.
I was pondering, yesterday, the effects of the 501c3 IRS category. Tucker, in speaking with the German bishop, asked, "Where are the Church leaders?" [He didn't mention Cardinal Vigano].

Unbelievable. Absolute idiocy is right.
That line of query is absolutely worth exploring. I too have wondered.

Thanks for the early note that you're embarking. Not a quick read. As said, take your time. 💪
I had a pastor 20 years ago who said he believed the tax system weakens the Church and would be happy to have the exemptions taken away. He said it would weed out a lot of Church goers who were posing as believers because they also got tax exemptions.
If churches had to pay taxes on their buildings, there are places where it would be impossible for a congregation to own a church building because the taxes on the building would be too high. So that's an issue as well.
It would change everything. His point was that when we, any person or group, becomes dependent on government, we must necessarily live by the rules they set. What looks like a good thing can be used against us.
You're not wrong about that 501c3 connection. There are many reasons for a church to avoid it, the principal one being that they should not answer to anyone but God.
