John Oliver showed how easy and potentially lucrative it is to start one.
Take a read & see why he stopped this "experiment", it's actually hilarious.
That's hilarious and totally true, but hey freedom of religion is a constitutional right.
I think this also shows that there no point of having an income tax system since it will never be perfected to close all loopholes - better to stick to point of sale taxes.
I like other official religions such as the Jedi religion and other fun ones
Yeah. Would it be worth it to invest in certain things like lawyers and investigators though? I want to cover any place I feel vulnerable. I've never been willing to make a citizen's arrest because I always worried about liability. A good enough lawsuit could flatten what we would try to build. Would it be OK to show the congregation what I pay my staff and also explain why we pay them? Honesty and transparency can go a long way to make people understand. I'd be making a lotta powerful enemies that society sees have good reputations. You gotta practically criminally disembowel them and hold up their entrails high enough for all to see.
Much of the mission would be around the arrest and prosecution of pedophiles that are not presently being prosecuted by the system. Protecting children and women should always be number one. Nothing else matters if you fail there. No one is entitled to rape a child(or anyone else) and would never find peace or sanctuary if they got on our radar.
It's always better to have expert professionals setting up legal entities, and also not just any professionals - you really have to figure out which of them are honest and trustworthy, because lots of professionals are not.
If you can find professionals that are willing to donate their time of fees to your church, that's even better, but most of them will want to get paid instead.
Especially for filling private prosecutions better have a lawyer do it, no point in messing thing up just to lose face in court.
Private prosecutions are not citizens arrests, I meant earlier that it would be better to file private prosecutions instead of doing citizens arrests - a citizen arrest is just detaining someone on behalf of the police usually while the crime is taking place, like when shoplifters are told to wait while police said.
Private prosecutions are filled similar to the fillings for public prosecutions, except that instead of the state attorneys doing the filings, it's a regular citizen. The next step after its filled is same as public prosecutions, it has to be approved by a judge who just rubber stamps it, the when the accused it arrested and processed through the court system - the state attorney takes hold of the case and either turns out into a regular public prosecution, or stops the prosecution by staying/withdrawing the charges(dropping the case).
Having transparency, as you stated above, is always good and you can disclose the day to day financial operations of your church however way you want - yearly financial statement is most common, but you can do them monthly or even daily of you want, post them on internet or mail them out it all up to you.
The donations you collect can go towards paying for lawyers to do the private investigations and prosecutions, and also towards paying for counselors/psychologist/etc and also office space or buying property to build your church on etc.
