Anonymous: Texas WIN Over Scientology

submitted by winkler1

1 decade 6 years 7 months ago

REPUBLICAN PARTY CONVENTION RESOLUTION PASSED MARCH 29, 2008!

On March 29th, a Houston Anon made history. This brave Anon, a Galveston county delegate to the RNC, braved a Republican National Convention policy meeting and presented a proposal to get the Church of Scientology's status as a religion revoked. This would potentially mean stripping the tax exemption as well. This will need to work it's way up the ladder and if it makes it, it will mean that part of the Republican party's platform will be stripping Scientology of its religious status.

---------------------

Resolution

Initiative for Texas Resolution Calling for the revocation of the Church of Scientology's status as a Legitimate religion in the sate of Texas.

Be it resolved that the Church of Scientology in the state of Texas no longer be recognized as an official religion, thus revoking its religious tax exempt status in the state of Texas.

In order to preserve religious tax exempt status in the state of Texas an organization must meet objectives in order to qualify. They are listed in the following statements:

1.) The organization must have an official statement of Faith. The church of Scientology has no such statement.

2.) The organization must have some form of routine worship service. The church of Scientology has no such routine.

3.) Church services must be open and freely available to the public. The church of Scientology requires its members to pay an amount equal to or greater than 15,000 U S dollars and to be subjugated to months of mind altering auditing sessions in order for a member to obtain the information regarding the teachings of Scientology. Members who complete these courses are forced to sign agreements not to inform either unpaid/unaudited members or the general public of the teachings of Scientology.

Be it resolved that the church of Scientology in the state of Texas be officially regarded as a business and not as a religion.

Resolution adopted this twenty-ninth day of March, 2008, at the Precinct Convention of Precinct Number 341, and/or senatorial district 11 Convention, Galveston County, Texas of the Republican Party of Texas.

Anon needs to keep the momentum going if they are victorious in their battle against Scientology, and push for revocation of other nefarious entities...like the World Bank....credit card companies...etc-go for the money men, fight the economic paradigm which feeds the machine.....we need a community of like-minded citizenry, a culture united by one language, with a border unlike Swiss cheese to do that.....fat chance, huh???? See the snowball we have been packed into, rolling down, down, down...

See, this is the kind of Scientology sift I like to see more of: I'm convinced they are bad, I don't need anymore arguments. I'd like to hear what's being done and what I can do to help.

whats wrong with a border like swiss cheese?
