A. To Kill a Mockingbird is a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Harper Lee published in 1960. It was instantly successful and has become a classic of modern American fiction. The novel is loosely based on the author's observations of her family and neighbors, as well as on an event that occurred near her hometown in 1936, when she was 10 years old. The novel is renowned for its warmth and humor, despite dealing with serious issues of rape and racial inequality. The narrator's father, Atticus Finch, has served as a moral hero for many readers and as a model of integrity for lawyers.

Why church pastors tell their congregation that they church is the right church?
Q. This is so absurd, as preachers and pastors tell their congregation that their church is the right church. I believe God will punish them, because there is constant fracas, debates and confusion of its members telling people that their church is the right church. The right church is when God comes and take his people from all the churches. Even those who are Christians and had no church based, if God sees he or she fit, they all will go. The Bible says two in the corn field and one taken away, two in the bed and one taken away. God will punish these ministers who bend the bible and preach that their church is the right church. The world what do you think?

Can a non-profit church legally have a millionaire business seminar at the church and charge money for it?
Q. I know a pastor who is hosting a millionaire business seminar at his church and charging money for it. He has a for-profit business where he speaks on different subjects and charges money for the seminars but most of them are at the church. Isn't that illegal? The pastor is charging $89.00 per person for this event.
Asked by shatoyiab - Mon Sep 29 21:55:03 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. In the US, nonprofits are allowed to have fundraisers. Also, they have limited rights to carry on businesses related to their tax exempt function. Churches run thrift stores and bookstores for example. A nonprofit that runs a regular business that is not related to its tax exempt activities will be taxed on that income. So, if the church decides to go into the business of running these seminars all the time, it will end up paying tax on that. And if the income from the seminars is greater than the donations and other money the church receives from activities directly related to being a church, the church can lose its tax exempt status completely.

Link below is to the IRS website documentation on this issue. It is very detailed, even mentioning that when a tax exempt organization establishes a web link to another website there are consequences if that linked site endorses a particular candidate, or favors one over another (Christian Coalition does).

My church interior is being painted soon; I want to liven the acoustics. Is there a special paint?
Q. The sanctuary is fairly large, and has a moderate echo already. I am worried that the new paint will deaden the reverb, and am trying to find a paint that will keep the surface as hard as possible (even if it means repainting a coat on top of the pigment coat.) The church uses traditional music, choir and organ, and so would favor a live acoustic. Does this paint exist? I've heard about it being used, but I don't know if it's just rumors.
