Form 990 filed by Billy Graham organizationIRS form 990. Every non-profit is required to file one---but churches are exemt. Organizations that operate above board often file this form as it reveals everything concerning donations. There is a reason LW does not file one. I beleive that the laws need to be changed. Saying that revealing to the public and/or congregants of a church--where all their money went- violates church and state. I would like to know just how that is---it is common sense and these f--- abusive, money-grubbing cult leaders like G--would not get away with being multi-millionaires while everyone else sacrifices--scale down while G and M scaled up.
It makes me sick and if we could get that law changed some way it would do a great service to future generations--Scientology and Living Word Fellowship (which by the way is not any official entity--just a nickname and domain)would not get away with it.
It would be shocking to see what has transpired--a tragedy of lowered lifestyles, working for the church whether paid help or free--it is just awful to know that a person's very life has been hijacked for decades.
take a look at what the Billy Graham organization filed and posted online even though they are not required--includes salaries---etc. This could feasibly end the ability to gain financial wealth in the name of God or the universe.
LW is no different than Scientology---except they use the Bible -- which to me is much worse. The rules are unspoken and behavior such as "disconnection--automatic now--they don't have to tell anyone what to do--they know what to do.
