Do your kids tell you everything that is going on in their lives? Everything that happens during the school day? Do you know all the people they speak to during the day? Do you know every single one of their friends in school?

Oh...it is absolutely true. Sorry, I don't have time to find the link right now. I am sure you can just google "church cults" and you will find something :)

IRS reasons.


What is the reason you think it's taxable?

A car would not fall under the de mimimis exception. The IRS has been kind of reluctant to define where the line is, but two recent cases have suggested that anything that is directly redeemable for cash (such as a gift certificate) or anything with a value over a hundred dollars wouldn't qualify. None of my mugs, candles, or calendars have a value of a hundred dollars...in fact, I am not sure if all of them combined do, so I think I am safe.

By speaking with them every morning and every afternoon dropping off and picking up my children. I got to know some really great people through the years.

That just makes no sense.


Sure, the approach -- the "sell" -- may happen at school and thus, the parents may not be witness to it (no proselytize pun intended).

Oh...I guess I don't see the big deal either.

I'm confused. Are you talking about parochial "schools?"

Nope, tried that. Since you have a specific story in mind, clearly, it would be greatly helpful to have locations (you said this was several states), name of church etc.
