      Name one church of any kind that requires its members to pay for courses.   That would be Scientology.  
      Although the cost is relative to your income, the CHEAPEST you can complete their courses for is about $250,000

      How is it possible for an organization to both be commercial and very profitable.. while also enjoying tax exempt status?

        Ah, the old grocer's apostrophe!

        it's members

        'its' there is a possessive not a contraction. But then I'm sure you knew that 🙂

          Your comments are loaded with grammatical errors.  
          If you were literate, you would have said " ITS ' is the possessive form whereas ' IT'S ' is a contraction, but then I'm sure you knew that. : )"

          You have two fragmented sentences, incorrect capitalization, and incorrect punctuation.  I only mention this because I'm not sure you knew that. : )

              No, you are just posting more inane spam and more bad grammar.

                  Troop K you are not contributing to the subject. Whatsoever. This has to do with the church and taxes, and you are talking about periods and commas. This is totally stupid. Why are you even wasting your time? It's pathetic that you would actually go to that place when you do not understand the laws of grammar. It doesn't matter on that part anyway. "Oh I'm proud of my red bar!" Who cares? You aren't putting forth anything constructive or worth two pennies.

                    "Whatsoever" by itself is not proper grammar.

                    I have never mentioned periods (full stops) or commas.

                    I don't waste much time.

                    And I hadn't noticed anything constructive here or elsewhere.

                    Have a nice day

                      :police:  As someone previously banned for fighting will everyone, you sure don't seem like you have reformed.    Clearly you don't want to hang around very long.

                      You won't be banned this time.  You're account will be disabled so you will get caught for having a dupe account if you come back.  :police:

                        *Your. JK! Nobody cares! The whole point of proper grammar is to make sense to the person being communicated with. Proper communication. If the message is delivered accurately, grammar takes the back seat.
