IRS should immediately remove non-profit exempt status

Anyhow, doesn’t engaging in this type of activity subject the “cherch” (Thank you, Les!) to regulation by governmental regulators such as consumer protection agencies, the FDIC, and other regulators of lending institutions? Will the the First Reactive Bank of the Cherch of Scientology (thank you, OTVIIIisGrrr8!) try to say it is exempt from governmental regulation because they are religious in nature?
I suppose we will have to stay tuned. 🙂

How is this not illegal?

I think I remember the Solution to Inflation being a 5% increase and it just kept compounding until prices were out of range for me. I remember the Solution to Inflation lite a fire under me to try to work harder to stay ahead of that “solution”. Then the solution became the problem.

If CO$ provides financing it would have to do a credit check on the person. In order to do be allowed to do credit reports on people, the way banks, lending companies and credit card companies do. I rather think that Co$ has hooked up with some lender willing to do business with high risk people, or else Co$ is fronting for the actual lenders (a whale or 2) who are putting up the dough. I can’t believe that the Co$ would actually write someone a check from their own money, but, hey, I’m very willing to be wrong about this and I really hope I am, and I hope any still ins will do the following: 1) get the Co$ loan 2) Buy the ACCs, 3)Don’t pay it back 4) Sell the ACCs on Ebay.

And maybe they do have the $300 for the ACC’s but just don’t want to buy them. I never liked having it shoved down my throat with an enforced, you must buy this now now now.

You may be speaking tongue in cheek, clergyman, but you are not far from the truth in actuality. A person I know went to the Ship to do OT VIII and ran out of money cuz they keep making you buy more and more intensives for Sec Checks to make sure you’re good enough to get OT VIII (this after Flag does a leaving the Org Sec Check once you comp OT VII). So as a brand new OT VII comp, you should have no untold OW’s hanging out, and no case to be handled. Yet the Ship finds stuff to keep you paying for auditing. So anyway my friend ran out of money on her OT VIII Elig. She couldn’t find people to lend it to her (all were broke). And so she made a deal that she would join staff at an Org in CA so that she would then qualify for half price intensives as a staff member. She did join staff and it was a huge burden to her to work full time in the day and then go to be on staff at night plus weekends. And she was not young. So this kind of thing is being done and was done to her about 9 or 10 years ago.

Thanks. I’ll try to snoop.

That seems the more likely explanation to me – perhaps a WISE outfit?
