>>I wonder what would have happened to Falwell, Robertson or just about anyone else under similar circumstances, not that they would be so corrupt.<< "In fact, Falwell has a history of ignoring federal tax law prohibitions concerning churches and politics. The IRS punished Falwell's Old Time Gospel Hour in 1993 when funds were illegally funneled from Falwell's group to a political action committee. Falwell was forced to pay $50,000 and the Old Time Gospel Hour's tax-exempt status was pulled retroactively for 1986-87. Falwell also ran into trouble in 1987 when the Federal Election Commission fined him for illegally transferring $6.7 million intended for his religious ministry to political action committees" "The Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), founded and headed by Pat Robertson, recently paid an undisclosed fine to the Internal Revenue Service for violating the IRS's rules concerning the political activities of nonprofit organizations. CBN also surrendered its tax-exempt status for the years of 1986 and 1987, and agreed to make a "significant payment" in back taxes for those two years." tylwythteg.com ifas.org houstonvoice.com au.org
