Incorrect...

In other words; be mindful how you style your case and what venue you choose to enter.

Government will not keep its paws off anything that voluntarily enters its jurisdiction. "Mandatory Exception" is inherent immunity if one knows who one is and one acts as a member of a true church.

I suspect that David Merrill might be implying that the real and true church would not volunteer in such a way. Anyways, relevantly, in some jurisdictions, the distinction between State sector and the Crown sector are clearly spelled out. In others, one might have to go a bit further to figure that out. But then, the United States is a state too, how can you seriously have posse comitatus without counties or political subdivisions?

But yes, there might be the issue of waiver of immunity or voluntary entering into a covenant that is enforceable and undesirable.

If a fellowship kept its property management activities separate from its worship and pastoral activities, that might remove a lot of jurisdictional snafus.

Congress used the pronoun "They" so that people could be redeemed.

They shall be redeemed in lawful money on demand...

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

The IRS regulations are irrelevant as to churches. Tax exempt forms are not even required, you can just claim what you donated. A corporation IS a legal entity that requires certain things to exist and cannot be simply presumed to exist.

Very true...




I find it amusing that almost everybody attending these "Centers" calls it "Church".

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

The President of the United States is an agent of Congress as "chief executive" over the U.S. government agencies and departments and being that the president of the U.S. Senate is his underlying he is part of Congress. That is, a president presides over Congressional sessions. Who has the veto power? Whose underlying is president of the the U.S. Senate? As a commander in chief he is a commissioned officer--a soldier. It would follow therefore that President of the United States is also prohibited from making laws respecting establishment of religion.

I meant to add that you do make a very good point in that one would be wise to be mindful how one approaches a given matter or venue.
