Should Churches be Tax-Exempt? | HUBpages Contributor Catherine Giordano
It seems the U.S. laws regarding tax exemptions for churches, other religious institutions, and non-profit organizations is a carryover from the days of Emperor Constantine.
But is it really a good idea?
This matter being discussed thoroughly at an article written by HUBPages Contributor Catherine Giordano.
These are only partial comments submitted by me and approved by the author. Completed comments are a bit "windy". :)
You will find many HUBpages article links shared via this blog. HUBPages is a spirited community where one can usually find intelligent conversation and interesting reading material on all kinds of subjects; not just religion and politics and history, which are usually my interests. It gives me great pleasure to direct readers to pages penned by my fellow freelance writers. Why should I have all the fun? :)

These are only partial comments submitted by me and approved by the author. Completed comments are a bit "windy". :)
Fair? Unfair? Tax? No tax? Interesting discussion but for the faithful, it's just “much ado about nothing”. Speaking with respect to Christians. Can't speak for the mission of other religious organizations and non-profits, but the mission of the body of Christ is clearly spelled out in Matthew 28: 19 – 20 (and other scriptures). If you don't tax the church, we'll carry out the mission. If you tax the church, we'll carry out the mission. Jesus left the example. He didn't argue about paying taxes. He paid the tax and carried on with His work. (Matthew 22: 21) So the question has already been answered. Whatever the government in any country decides to do ... i.e. taxing, imprisonment, etc, ... the “laborers” will continue God's work until “The Harvest”. Christians don't need government support or approval to know and to do what is right.

I Used Paper.li to Publish "My Twitter WeekEnd Wrap-Up"

I use the Paper.li publishing tool to generate a weekly newspaper. It's is a great recap of my Tweet activity or tweets of import for me for the past week!
Check out this edition of My Twitter WeekEnd Wrap-Up.
Time sure does fly. My first issue was dated March 17, 2014. That's a Monday. Changed it to Sunday updates with a few "special editions" every now and then. Really love this tool furnished by Paper.li. Have you tried it? I publish other papers too.

History of India : The Significance of 12 September | dracula fun (Reblog)
My comments: The blog publisher says the incident is minimized in the record of history. But it says they gave land grants to the families of the slain soldiers, so – in my mind - the authority gave credit where credit was due. It's better to not get any mention in history than to serve faithfully and then have your family disregarded as if you didn't do anything at all. The family who lost a member who died as a valiant soldier more often than not probably depended on that person for their own survival. It's the least the country's leaders could do.
History of the Indian army (as in India, not Native Americans). Interesting history.

Where Newbie Bloggers Should Go For Advice and Answers
My early attempts at affiliate marketing, D.I.Y. (do-it-yourself) website building, blogging, and other home business projects were so … ??? … amateur. Was going to say “futile” but since there were many benefits derived from these efforts even though several websites and blogs were trashed or deleted along the way, the time and energy expended was not a total waste. The learning exercises were fruitful, not futile.
