There is going to be a big three-day Festival upon Bishop Castle (Castle Church) grounds planned for June 26-29. Among other things keeping me busy we (Board of Trustees) have been working with Interplanetary Entertainment to get this thing going before the deadline for approval signatures.
I really appreciate these comments. What comes to mind is how discussion between Jim and I inspired the 508 Mandatory Exception in the name - CASTLE CHURCH - For the Redemption of the Office BISHOP. Jim and I discussed Pragmatism around the fire when Jim stood up from his folding chair and proclaimed that would be the name of the Trust. Quickly Jim and I formalized the adoption of Pragmatism for Bishop Castle, and in it we find the purpose in Jim and Phoebe changing the name:
Recently I updated The Gospel of Pragmatism but have not removed any of the components, I only describe the perceptions in more detail:
This ties closely with Jim's intuitive understanding about the machinations of the Federal Reserve:Title 26 USC §501(c)(3)
I italicize church above regarding Paul’s formation of ecclesia because this organization – church or association of churches – is actually a Disqualified Organization in the description of Title 26 USC §501(c)(3) government-sanctioned tax-free non-profit religious organizations. Virtually every church of significance in America is §501(c)(3) but by legal definition, not a single one of these churches is actually a church in the sense of being an ecclesia sanctified to God/Jesus as its Creator!
In summary Disqualified Organizations as found in Title 26 USC §501(c)(3) are churches described at Title 26 USC §170 and there we find the description …churches and associations of churches. More interesting though is that Title 26 USC §501(c)(3) corporate persons who await approval by the IRS for their tax-exempt status are found awaiting approval at Title 26 USC §508. Typically in the bylaws of any Title 26 USC §501(c)(3) church we find stipulated certain restrictions:
Therefore all the People allegedly in the CHURCH are not considered people but rather, are Title 26 USC §501(c)(3) corporate persons awaiting approval found at Title 26 USC §508! Thank God (quite literally) that Title 26 USC §508 (C)(1)(a) recognizes these same churches and associations of churches as Mandatory Exception to the Internal Revenue Code entirely. The point being that the church recognized to have nothing to do with the Federal Reserve System (IRS) is NOT the church created by Paul while in Roman protective custody! Paul’s church is the church he formed from Rome – appropriately a government-sanctioned religious organization found at Title 26 USC §501(c)(3) – also known as Christianity. In preparation for Castle Church near the end of this treatise please begin to understand why Pragmatism forming a Mandatory Exception profits from this Gospel of Pragmatism being derived from a radical interpretation of the Parable of Mark if you will, so as to never be confused with Christianity.No part of the net earnings of the Center shall inure to the benefit of or be distributable to any member of the Center which is not then an exempt organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Beautiful! DONATE HERE - The Tabernacle for the Redemption of GOD'S Lawful Money!
One revelation for me through this is how TV News and the Newspaper have become social media. I really suspected that it was true that by competing with cyberspace, and even re-publishing the articles in cyberspace these "News" media were degraded to junior high emotional sensationalism, equivalently found on Facebook and Twitter.
The truth be told Jim created the new name for Bishop Castle (BISHOP CASTLE NONPROFIT CORPORATION) in a lucid moment of inspiration. It was both Jim and Phoebe who changed the name from BISHOP CASTLE NONPROFIT CORPORATION to CASTLE CHURCH - For the Redemption of the Office BISHOP and this was such a willing, intentional and knowledgeable event that when the clerk and recorder found a typo in the property description, Jim and Phoebe went through the trouble of doing it again ten days later.
I certainly can appreciate how this has prompted discussion about public and private. The history of "my" Castle (by and through the Board of Trustees) is just that. My Castle is expressed in the light that Jim laid every stone and did every piece of iron work too, for the sole purpose of relieving Jim and Phoebe and the entire BISHOP family of liability. I even finished the nature portrayal "art" of my own, so that any IRS attorney wondering if he might talk to Jim will know that it is the First Trustee he must speak with now:
It was exactly the proposition that Bishop Castle is a public place that prompted Jim and I to discuss a perpetual trust, irrevocable in nature for securing the future legacy of Bishop Castle - forever. Jim got into some criminal charge trouble and that aside, the Sheriff sent a bill for booking charges to the Castle mailbox instead of to Jim's home in Pueblo. At the same time the prosecutor was writing into the process that Bishop Castle is a public property! Like in the opening post here, this was distinctly reminiscent of 2002 when Jim compiled his evidence repository in the Denver federal courthouse. Jim even used that same case file for his 2014 evidence repository.
This was happening before Jim was symptomatic of cancer, at least that he was mentioning it to me. It was a couple months after the video above that Jim mentioned being troubled about "scar tissue" and that he was getting a biopsy. [Edited - I feel that I might have been reacting to social media.]
On the topic of public and private, this is a wonderful example of the blending and obscurity of that boundary. I suppose that should I fence the Castle off and turn the visitors away that somebody familiar with trust law could form a class action - let's call them Castle Visitors. These Castle Visitors have been visiting and enjoying Bishop Castle for forty years now. That develops a constructive trust that they are second tier beneficiaries - the children laughing, and the folks having fun are reaping a benefit of the property, given for free on a donation basis. These Castle Visitors are getting a distinct disbursement of the constructive trust. I imagine that people could again enjoy visiting the Castle within about six weeks...

David Merrill.
First Trustee for CASTLE CHURCH - For the Redemption of the Office BISHOP - solely as trustee. At least when not in cyberspace, I sign as such!
Please - if you like to get emotional about Jim's deteriorating physical, emotional and mental health read Pragmatism carefully and completely. Mind you that video attached above is for real. Jim both read it and listened to me reading it aloud by the fire at the base of the Castle before deciding it was just the thing to support a permanent Castle Legacy and Destiny. Informed people are much more exciting!
Gospel of Pragmatism.
