So when corrupt preachers rake in tens to hundreds of millions it's tax-exempt because it's not a business, but when a pastor actually cares for the needy like their book says to, that's a crime because it IS a business?

Fuck that worst of both worlds nonsense! 🤬

I work in a religious nonprofit that hosts a bunch of community service orgs including two churches, a teen volunteerism org, a food ministry that distributed 10 mil pounds of food thru the pandemic, a music nonprofit, an acting/drama nonprofit and more. We've been getting our ass ridden so hard by local zoning and fire stuff. About to drop $20k plus on a compliant oven hood for a simple oven like you have in you kitchen. I took a cut in pay last year because of this bullshit.
