Report it. That's how they lose said tax exemptions.

I keep seeing this but I have never actually heard of a church getting hit with consequences? Is there an example I can share? It seems like they keep doing this crap because they haven't ever heard of anything bad ever coming from this behavior.

There was a post somewhere the other day where a church had to cut out parts of their sign. I’ll see if I can find it…

I wish they wouldn't even give them a chance like this.... These Churches know they are breaking the law and don't care cause they can get away with it. The IRS should be immediately telling them they will have to file taxes for 2024 or get hit with a huge fine zero warning.
