Great article. I do think they meant Internal Revenue Service not the Inland Revenue Service but that's the British for ya. For the LDS church it could be called the Eternal Revenue Service. Building the huge Mall could be the number one example of why certain churches should be taxed. Sometimes I think that the LDS church is just putting stuff away in case of a money famine but then that wouldn't really be the Christian thing to do as if you really believe then you will also believe that God will provide, such as take no thought of tomorrow...;God provided for Moses and his people. I mean really - a restoration of all things could also mean God's Holy Tabernacle resides in a tent. You can do everything you do in the LDS temple in a huge white tent with different sections and one with a veil. You could set up the tent way out in the beautiful mountains or in a rain forest.

Sounds prudent. I think the government should investigate more.

Oh, and the mall will be taxed. You can't do that kind of thing tax-exempt. Even a church.

Thank God for the IRS
