Karen and Jeff have delivered some serious blows to David Miscavige's Cult by exposing tax returns showing the public the billions of dollars this "tax exempt" church is sitting on - BILLIONS!
There are plenty of photos and testimonials from Ex members that have surfaced on the internet and in the media regarding the lavish lifestyle of Scientology's leader - David Miscavige.
When Hubbard got caught - he went into hiding and was never seen again!
Is this the straw that will push Miscavige into hiding?
History repeats itself and Miscavige slowly, over time, convinced himself, that he deserves to live like a King while the "volunteers" slave away for nothing.
The rules for the Non Profit 501 (c) (3) state:
[h=1]Inurement/Private Benefit - Charitable Organizations[/h] A section 501(c)(3) organization must not be organized or operated for the benefit of private interests, such as the creator or the creator's family, shareholders of the organization, other designated individuals, or persons controlled directly or indirectly by such private interests. No part of the net earnings of a section 501(c)(3) organization may inure to the benefit of any private shareholder or individual. A private shareholder or individual is a person having a personal and private interest in the activities of the organization.
OVERVIEW OF INUREMENT/PRIVATE BENEFIT ISSUES IN IRC 501(c)(3)
Introduction
IRC 501(c)(3) provides exemption from federal income tax for organizations
that are "organized and operated exclusively" for religious, educational, or
charitable purposes. The exemption is further conditioned on the organization
being one "no part of the net income of which inures to the benefit of any private
shareholder or individual."
Hubbard got caught which lead to his hiding. See below:
"Founding Church of Scientology v. United States, 412 F.2d 1197 (Ct. Cl. 1969),
cert. den., 397 U.S. 1009 (1970), an organization argued that it had paid its founder
for expenses incurred in connection with his services, made reimbursements to him
for expenditures on its behalf, and made some payments to him as repayments on a
loan. The organization could produce no evidence of contractual agreements for
services, documents evidencing indebtedness, or any explanation regarding the
purposes for which expenses had been incurred. The Court concluded that—
nothing we have found in the record dispels the substantial doubts the
court entertains concerning the receipt of benefit by the Hubbards
from plaintiff's net earnings. Since plaintiff has failed to meet its
burden of proof, we hold therefore that a part of the corporate net
earnings was a source of benefit to private individuals. Supra, at 1202."
The Church of Scientology does not spend money on what it claims to spend it on - it makes the members pay for everything and then do all of the work in exchange for NOTHING.
Their "front groups" are nothing but SMOKE AND MIRRORS!
The leader of Scientology, Captain David Miscavige, has been living quite a luxurious lifestyle, carefully hidden from view of the members.
The Church constantly fundraising for more and more money from the public and it has been amassing enormous wealth since its inception.
It is time the IRS yanks the "tax exempt" status. Scientology's leader obviously has violated the rules of inurement. He takes advantage of his position and treats himself like a King while the staff suffer in squalor. He bankrupts the public and creates financial hardships in the name of "clearing their bank accounts".
Due to this criminal behavior - the Church of Scientology is going down! You may call yourself a "church" but the rest of the World calls you a Criminal Organization that hides behind their non-profit status!
