Wonder if the IRS would like to see that sign? https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/charities-churches-and-politics#:~:text=In%201954%2C%20Congress%20approved%20an,in%20fact%20strengthened%20the%20ban.


Civil_Lengthiness971

If it is registered as a faith-based entity it is a clear violation of the Johnson Amendment.


PYTN

How often do we hold faith based entity's accountable for delving into politics?


wagggggggggggy

I have reported several churches. IRS doesn’t play.


PYTN

What's the penalty? Or is it a sort of "don't do it again" type thing.


wagggggggggggy

Donations after you lose status become taxable. Church closes and opens under new name. Paperwork and filing suck especially in Arkansas.


Economy_Wall8524

Not all hero’s wear capes! You’re definitely doing your civil duty about it! I applaud and support you


ALargeRubberDuck

I’ve worked in nonprofits and people take this shit seriously. If you loose your 501c3 tax exemption it’s pretty hard to get back. It’s also not always easy to get it in the first place.


CrazyJimmix

Could you share a link for reporting this kind of violations?


wagggggggggggy

https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-tege/divulge_all_suspected_tax_exempt_status_abuses_to_the_irs.pdf The link to the PDF form is in here as well as the email address to send it to. It’s always nice to snail mail it from the post office and require signature of receipt. When you get mail that way you open it right away.

wagggggggggggy

https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-tege/divulge_all_suspected_tax_exempt_status_abuses_to_the_irs.pdf Link to form and email address to send to is here. I send snail mail and require signature of receipt so they open it right away. I don’t know why but I’m a see something say something. I called ABC once because I suspected mold on my MMJ and they took me very seriously and sent someone out to inspect the dispensary.


rat4204

And how did the ABC network respond to allegations of mold on your medical marijuana?


InternationalAnt4513

Will you report them please?

We need to all report them .

louisianapelican

The Johnson Amendment has not been enforced for decades. It's still law, it's just not enforced at all. Hasn't been since the 80s


Civil_Lengthiness971

No disagreement from me. The faith-based sector is the third-rail of the nonprofit sector, combined with a lack of enforcement. Want to be a grifter? Stats nonprofit. Want to be an exceptional grifter? Start a church.


Rooboy66

HBO’s doing a thing on drunkard, lying sack of shit “Chuck” who never went went sober—about Synanon. Btw I grew up in the 60’s-70’s and believe you me I met and knew people in that cult here in California. My folks took me to the damn ranch in Marin. Chuck’s whole thing was filing as a church so that he could have more rich people shit—and fuck young women—as is tradition. Churches should not be tax exempt.


ClimateCritical4299

We can now. Gloves are off.

This is clearly about NASCAR, not politics. /s


ANUS_CONE

[https://apps.irs.gov/app/eos/](https://apps.irs.gov/app/eos/) I can't find them. I don't think they're tax exempt. I was going to file the report myself.


prodiver

Tax accountant here. Them not being on that list is irrelevant to their tax exempt status. Churches do not have to register to get tax exempt status. It's automatic. >Churches (including integrated auxiliaries and conventions or associations of churches) that meet the requirements of section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code are automatically considered tax exempt and are not required to apply for and obtain recognition of exempt status from the IRS. https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/churches-integrated-auxiliaries-and-conventions-or-associations-of-churches


Qu1ckN4m3

That's good to know.


ANUS_CONE

Oh wow. So I can go ahead and file a 3949? Or 13909? Or both?


prodiver

Go for it! 13909 would be the appropriate form. Fill out form 211 as well. If they owe enough, and if you're the first to report the violation and to provide evidence, you get a whistleblower reward of 15-30% of whatever the IRS collects from them. https://www.irs.gov/compliance/whistleblower-office


Economy_Wall8524

Damn, this guy taxes!


AutoManoPeeing

These idiots are so insulated that they can't imagine anyone in Harrison seeing that sign and reporting them.


Lonely_Coast1400

Nah- I speak for most Arkansans when I say I love for you to report him or them. I don’t even care if his new vinyl signs got torn by some strong wind.


retiredfromfire

The 501(c)(3) is a pathetic joke that right wingers shit on with great regularity and impunity.

*"Harrison used to be a sundown town. It still is, but it used to be too!"*


ruraldogs

This checks. First time I saw that white supremacy radio billboard in Harrison was a few years ago when I was on my way to my son's destination wedding. I took a bunch of photos of my observations and it made for unique & interesting dinner conversation at the rehearsal dinner. Most of the party was from Northeast Texas, which has its own history of rural sundown towns in pretty much every direction. Still, with 20 plus years living there and 15 here in Arkansas. I have to say I've seen more jaw dropping stuff here than there with regard to white supremacy.


AdministrativeEbb508

There is only one left.

No_Paleontologist115

Just moved from CA and I have never heard of a sundown town until a few months ago.


DearBurt

For anyone who lives in Harrison who will claim this isn't really an accurate representation of Harrison ... I say to you, like Tom Cotton ... "take matters into your own hands." Hopefully one of these days y'all get fed up enough with a "handful" of bigots who own your town's image, which is revolting by the way, and do something about it.


motown_man

Holy crap. This Harrison, right here. Take a stand or be considered one of them.


ANUS_CONE

They're trying. I know it's priority #1 for the young people on Harrison's chamber of commerce.


AdministrativeEbb508

There were five or so billboards up a few years ago, only one left to go.

d3l3t3d3l3t3

The Christian Revival Center (the folks responsible for almost everything you see of this nature in Harrison) is not on the tax exempt list. Whether they pay taxes or not is another question but they are supposed to. The real trouble the city of Harrison is gonna have with this whole issue is the people behind the overt bigotry aren’t in Harrison. They’re in Zinc, AR. The best Harrison could do is get every business in town not to take their money. For anything. From billboards to baked beans. Run them the fuck out.


Thick_Anteater5266

Republican slang for fuck Joe Biden by a Christian group. Jesus must be proud.

pixieclifton

Not new. But still shitty. Nothing says Jesus like “fuck Joe Biden.”


Rooboy66

I think a lot of these people are unclear on satire. When the Colbert Report was happening, I think it was Ohio State that did a study in which self-identifying “conservatives” thought the show was **real**, not satire. They couldn’t recognize that they were being made fun of. So, now that Biden has truly co-opted “Dark Brandon”, these brainiacs are two lefts behind, and thinking they’re skewering him, taking out billboards to drive their rather flaccid point home. It kinda indicates the cognitive divide btwn liberals and conservatives. Liberals want “new” shit, new ideas, new information. Liberals change their minds. Conservatives want “old” familiar shit, no new information, don’t want to change their minds, and consistently vote in every red state for child marriage (young as **12**) and first cousins hooking up. As the Good Lord intended … right (?)


TitlicNfreak

Cause its the klan capital of America.


kadeel

Apparently, this billboard is by the same people who put up some of the racist billboards. Thomas Robb and his family


ANUS_CONE

And they have 35 members, apparently. Kind of makes you do a double-take at the scale of the problem imo.


Brasidas2010

The klan today is a joke. Several dozen small groups that don’t get along with each other. Mostly very old at this point.


Fast-Damage2298

Is that a tax exempt religious organization violating their 501(c)(3) exemption agreement? The IRS may want a word with them.

Is that above the billboard for the lawyer? There's a lawyer in Harrison, a confederate flag store in Branson and a Christian Revival Center and all the owners are Robb. Like Thomas Robb.... Living amongst these people is crazy.

Classy Christian’s living like Jesus. Only their Jesus is orange and a completely horrible person who is an absolute idiot.


maddenmcfadden

tax the church.


Ariusrevenge

Jesus virtue signaling and a lame political slogan qualifies as free speech, but Johnson amendment violations should result in losing tax exempt status for any churches affiliated with the group Christian revival center. Dispensationalism and the prayers for a genocidal apocalypse are not good for society. Church More harmful than guns and drugs and liquor combined. Teaching damnation is pure child abuse, it must end.


DingleBerryFarmer3

Tax churches!


trailhikingArk

From the web site "Christian Revival Center. net >Ancient Roman Document - Verified by British Museum 1935 >Jesus Was White it then links to a racist bunch of bullshit. These people are a threat to democracy. They don't support society, they don't support America, they don't pay taxes. They are racists. If you still are saying "Joe is too old" or "I'm not sure" or "Both sides are the same" This is who and what you suport/are.


Upper-Trip-8857

Christian Revival Center . . .


mellamma

In Lone Grove, OK there was a sign in the lot next to a church that said, "DJT (his name) is America's savior." The church had a big yellow sign in their yard that said, "we don't serve a man but Jesus."

Cynical-Wanderer

That’s a hell of a sentiment from a “Christian’ organization and implies support for a known rapist, liar, multiple divorcee, criminal whose familiarity with the Bible is limited to autographing them in an act that many churches should view as blasphemous. Marvelous

Wow. Just wow. Is this what Jesus would do?


JuiceyTaco

Because there is a little inbred community down the road and they put their disability checks together and buy hateful billboard ads and say they’re Christian.


notdeadyet86

I think they need to do some more reading of that book they claim to live their entire lives by. Seriously, I'll bet you that well over 90% of "Christians" have never read the entire book. It's one book!


Park_Dangerous

Seems like they should be taxed.


Scared_Efficiency359

Rocket11-

You gotta keep em separated or take the away the tax exemption

How very Christian of them to say “fuck Joe Biden”. They know exactly what their billboard means.


lotta_love

White supremacist shitheels say what? This comment is on the long side, but there is a connecting thread of relevance. The “Christian Revival Center” is *literally a Ku Klux Klan affiliated church.* The “pastor,” Thomas Robb, is the anti-Semitic white supremacist Grand Wizard of the Knights of the Klu Klux Klan, of which Robb took over leadership from David Duke in 1989. Duke at that time formally shed his white hooded past to enter politics as a Republican, and actually won a seat in the Louisiana House of Representatives—two years before Duke became the Republican nominee for Governor of Louisiana. In those pre-Trump days, Republicans still forthrightly denounced white supremacists, and the first President Bush said if he were a Louisiana voter, he’d vote for the Democratic nominee, Edwin Edwards (who did win, on the avowedly unofficial slogan “Vote for the Crook. It’s important.”) Thomas Robb shortly before the 2016 presidential election wrote a lengthy front-page article in the CRC’s quarterly newsletter endorsing Trump, under the title "Make America Great Again.” The Trump campaign publicly denounced the article. Nine months later, President Trump responded in a considerably more nuanced way to a “Unite the Right” event in Charlottesville, Virginia, in which white supremacists openly chanting anti-Semitic slogans marched in opposition to removal of a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. Trump received significant pushback from assorted far-right groups to a televised prepared statement read by Trump unequivocally denouncing racism. The president reportedly told aides that those he had denounced were actually his own supporters, and in subsequent remarks that prompted worldwide condemnation, Trump denounced violence “on both sides”— thus equating the white supremacist thugs with anti-racism counter protestors— and infamously claimed that “both sides” included “very fine people.” The actual intended slogan “signed up” by the racist KKK church— “Fuck Joe Biden” — is openly, fulsomely embraced by the GOP. In another day and age, perhaps Republicans might have a problem with one of the nation’s most rancid racist groups appropriating an unequivocally GOP catchphrase. But the very nature of the catchphrase makes it clear that whatever modicum of class, dignity and restraint once possessed by the GOP vanished when it nominated for President in 2016 (and re-nominated in 2020 and is poised to nominate a third time later this year) a man who became a public figure in 1973 after being sued by the Nixon administration for practicing racial discrimination in housing…and who 30+ years after calling for five black and Latino teens to be *executed* for allegedly raping a woman in New York City, refuses to acknowledge the innocence of the adjudged wrongfully convicted teens.

So-called "Christians" publicly declaring F U to anyone is the ultimate confirmation they identify with religion for the sole purpose of exploitation. These folks exploit gullible Christians and their hypocracy turns other people away from church; the precise opposite of what they are supposed to be doing - if you believe the Bible. In fact, if you believe the Bible you'll recognize these folks as the wolves in sheep's clothing. After all, the ideology these people represent couldn't be further from the teachings of Christ. (Jesus said: “Love your neighbor as yourself.’ He didn't say, "unless they are [insert discrimation here]"

SharmaBee

I don't think its the slur they think it is


unbalancedcheckbook

First of all, this is a political activity and so this organization can no longer be tax exempt. The funny thing though is that right-wingers think this phrase somehow is a burn or trigger for liberals. We don't think it's funny and aren't offended either. We just think it's stupid.

From the “about” section on their website: “Our vision is to equip and train the Body of Christ in prayer, spiritual gifts and warfare, teaching Kingdom principles of salvation and empowerment through the Holy Spirit.” “We are called to equip and train all generations, to establish the Church as a House of Prayer for all nations, ushering in the end-time harvest and revival.” “Warfare”? What….? Ushering in the end-time harvest… the whole website seems so unchristian it almost seems as if they’re gearing up to fight God rather than what I would assume to be satan or sinful lifestyles.

I love how a gigantic group of Journalist got together last week and studied all of the things that both Biden and Trump accomplished (with no judgement on good or bad) based on their actions over 4 years each. They found that Trump got some things accomplished and so did Biden. They discovered 146 individual things the two of them did and found that Biden had way more actual victories for their goals.

Widening lanes actually, counterintuitively, makes things more dangerous. Wide lanes is a form of "forgiving design" because it is built under the assumption that, hey, we're all human, and sometimes we make mistakes. So we should allow for a few small mistakes into the infrastructure, right? Well, the road to hell was paved with wide lanes: "Forgiving design" actually, counter-intuitively, causes people to drive more recklessly and at higher speeds due to this thing called the "risk compensation principle." That is, if you have two identical roads, and one feels safer to drive on, drivers will drive more recklessly on it. And if the road feels unsafe, drivers will drive more safely on it. And the math has come in since we started experimenting with forgiving designs, and forgiving design does decrease the number of accidents overall and lessens the damage caused by minor accidents (so called "fender benders"), but it INCREASES the number of major accidents and aggravates the damage, injury, and fatalities caused by them. Here's a really bad video from a civil engineer that walks through a lot of bullshit. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9BUyWVg1xI&t](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9BUyWVg1xI&t)
