Hoax (Sadly) Court Revokes Scientology's Tax Exempt Status

[sparkles]

Just got this in a text from my daughter who saw it on Twitter. I haven't gotten any other news alerts but it took a while after Twitter reported on Scalia too.

FYI, here's a Wikipedia article on an earlier SCOTUS decision concerning whether or not auditing sessions could be taken off taxes, or whether or not there was an adequate "quid pro quo". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hernandez_v._Commissioner

Dang.  Had me going there for a sec!

Yep, further checking says it's a hoax. DAMMIT! I wish it was true but I asked the mods to change the title. Sorry guys.

I blame the kid.

 I was so excited. Should have guessed that it was fake. There'll never be an official statement like this:

Quote

The investigation, along with an extensive audit, found the group to be a “criminal operation with a sole purpose of making money”.

Even if it is true...

Darn!

Super sad panda now.

It's too bad that it was a hoax.

[Jingerbread]

Any website that is .com.co, yes, .com.co, that presents as an American news outlet is a hoax site.

Nooooooooo.

Such an abusive, horrific corporation.  They're the lowest of the low -- the worst of the worst -- the ghastly absence, the gaping void of anything resembling true peace, true love, or true decency.  If you've ever read Madeleine L'Engle's Wrinkle in Time, they're like the inky parallel universe where love and freedom go to die.

But it can't last forever.  This article may be a hoax, but they're absolutely destined to crumble.  I just wish they could do so without destroying any more families on their way down.
