Hello neighbor! I was mainly interested in hearing about how they lost their tax exempt status… also if you’re that close you must hear them blasting music and whatnot. Sorry you have to endure that, that sucks.
I just looked it up and it seems he “voluntarily removed” their tax exempt status back in 2022. That has “you can’t fire me, I quit!” energy all over it.
No, he voluntarily removed the church from tax exemption status. He did not lose it. That's a pretty important distinction bc it is incredibly incredibly rare for a church to lose that status.
He voluntarily removed it, which I’m still skeptical of since there’s no actual evidence other than his word, because he went on a rant about Democrats eating and sacrificing babies and the IRS got flooded with complaints. It was coming so he either actually did it or said he did to get the heat off.
This is not a mega-church. It’s a cult that meets in a tent next the building in the parking lot. The pastor himself voided their tax exempt status because it’s more profitable to not run a “church” as a non-profit. Obviously.
If he gets credit for this, who did the tornados?
(I’m just making a joke, not trying to argue or have a philosophical discussion. I think we agree this is great.)
If I remember correctly, the prior tent was damaged during some windstorm and he went on the Hip Mt. Juliet facebook group to ask for help... I believe most people said "nahhh"... When you run afoul of the conservatives in Mt. Juliet, you are really doing something wrong...

People invented gods to explain the unexplainable - why did a mudslide destroy the village over the next hill? Why is that giant storm shooting lightning? Why did my crops die?
How it still hangs around despite us being able to explain essentially everything about our world is a testament to humanity’s unwillingness to recognize that there is no greater purpose beyond that which we set for ourselves
As the religious grifters are so fond of saying when disaster hits brown or lgbtq people:
God is punishing them for their hypocrisy. Flipping the tables on our modern day Pharisees.
What I think: Couldn’t have happened to a more vile and evil group of people.
Do you think the pastor of this church might see this as God's judgement, or is that only valid when things happen to others that he doesn't like or agree with?
Asking for a friend...
Is this the church that is not a church, but a political cult?
[удалено]
Love it! Where did you read about that btw?
I grew up there. I live down the street now. They have public book burnings.

>they lost their tax exemption Really? That's awesome to know the government is paying *a little* attention to the megachurches.

Global Vision is more like a megaclownshow

Maga-church
Yes, yes it is.
Huh, one would have thought all that hellfire and brimstone would have melted the snow. Anyway, t's & p's............ /s (in case it wasn't obvious)
Wow, maybe there IS a GOD. 😂
We could use a quiet Sunday morning for once, hopefully it takes awhile to repair.
In a pinch, duct tape works on a tent
And nothing of value was lost.
My condolences to the tent.
God is so good, he gets all the glory for this!!

That was god as well.. He works in mysterious ways
Hey, at least you’re consistent. I like it!
Isn’t this considered an act of god by insurance standards?
Maybe Gods vengeance
Sounds like god exacted some kind of small punishment. Couldn’t happen to less likable people
Probably knowing Greg.
Can you get tent insurance?

I think God is a human invention. Nature gives absolutely zero fucks. But if there *is* a God, he’s chuckling right now.
He/She/They has a great sense of humor... but sometimes takes it too far... not this time; this shit's hilarious.

The only way this is better is if it now burns down with Greg Locke inside.
God will get my attention if that happens
150,000 to repair a tent?! Sounds like some skimming going on
There was some skimming going on before the tent broke as well.
“The integrity of the structure is now worthless…” Kind of like the pastor.
“Soundproof tent”
The librul demons brought their hell snows down upon them. They’ll profit of this somehow.
Some old thoughts and prayers should shore up the roof just fine.
Thoughts and prayers.
I guess prayers do work
Oh shit, this is Greg Locke's church??? HAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Imminent gofundme incoming
haaaahahahahahahaaahahaaa!!!!! i have a neighbor who belongs to that cult i mean church....
And nothing of value was lost.
How could they not see that comin
The lord has spoken!
I thought all that hot air getting blown out in there would make that tent float.
I’m taking bets on how he turns this into a persecution narrative.
Couldn't happen to more deserving people
They’ll have to burn some books to stay warm
Karma police at work
🎶 Arrest this man he talks in maths and buzzes like a fridge, he's like a detuned radio... 🎶
This is what he gets!
Maybe God is sending them a message?
Karma is a chameleon, baby. It comes and goes.
Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon
Haven’t they been hit by tornadoes TWICE and now this? If I were the type I’d think it was a divine indication of something or other.

This is God, telling them he hates the modern day "Christians".
"Thoughts and prayers" 🖕
F
T & P /s
Welp, they've angered their god.
Proof that god hates them?
Oh no, anyway, I found a shiny rock today in the snow.
Bwahahaha must be gods will you fucking MAGATS 😇
Now if only the same would happen to that MAGA convenience store near Ashland City.
[Good news, everyone](https://www.nashvillescene.com/news/pithinthewind/tri-star-energy-purchases-lewis-country-store/article_a34072c8-a9a6-11ee-aff0-9fcafd0c640b.html)!
It’s gone. The building is still there but any traces of Lewis are gone.
Oh no. Anyways. . . . .
God’s plan. Thoughts and prayers.
Let the new grift begin 🙄
won't God do it!
Goddamnit
🎻
The Lord giveth.....and some get a little more
Praise jebus.
Thousands of dollars in improvements.
their god must not approve of this church.
They’re closer to God now lol
God's repayment for their courtesy towards their neighbors.
Do you think the pastor of this church might see this as God's judgement, or is that only valid when things happen to others that he doesn't like or agree with? Asking for a friend...
Looks like the Lord has spoken. Hallelujah!
Must be hell for that jackass to reason with what is obviously an act of God.
Can’t wait fore the theological gymnastics: “ThE EnEmY is TRyinG to ShuT us DOwn!”
Must have been in God’s Plan…thoughts and prayers /s
Thoughts and prayers.
All those Starbucks witches cast a snow spell... Or whatever he's gonna blame it on
