Re: Marty: Scientology is not a religion, but instead a "spirtual-oriented psychother
This tax exemption is based on certain conditions which CO$ has violated. Then there is the very heavy blackmail....sorry sales pressure. Hand crafted shoes and Rock star lifestyle for DM is inurement.
"Benefit; for example, the 501c3 prohibition against "private inurement" within non-profit entities means that individuals within that organization may not receive excessive compensation or benefit from their employment or association, because such arrangements would contravene the supposed mission of the organization."
Terril, could you please explain how you have come to this conclusion?
I'll give you one way of reasoning on the matter, I'd like to see how you came to your conclusion.
1. Spiritual oriented psycotherapy fits in the category religion.
2. The Co$ sells and practices this Spiritual oriented psycotherapy.
3. Thus the Co$ fits in the category of religion.
4. Religious organizations are granted tax exemption (at least in the USA)
5. Thus it should be tax exempt.
The Catholic Church is a business. It's in the business of saving people's souls. You don't think they take in any cash for the "service"?
