A Petition/Demand to Dissolve a Corporate Religious Charity and Then Establish a Free Church From Pastor Slattery
Petition to Dissolve the Corporate Charter and Revoke Section 501 (c)(3) Status
By David Layton Wilson
To the Board of ___________________________ Church, Incorporated.
GREETINGS TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS MAY COME.
By my signature below, I certify that I have read and understand the pertinent parts of Title 26, United States Code, Section 501 (c)(3) and IRS Form 1023, that pertain to churches.
WHEREAS, there is no law making it mandatory for a body of believers in Jesus Christ to exist as a legal fiction nonprofit corporation thereby replacing the authority of Jesus Christ as the head of the church with the statutory authority of the state, and
WHEREAS, even if there were a law of man making it mandatory for a body of believers in Jesus Christ to exist as a legal fiction nonprofit corporation or any other form of legal entity thereby replacing the sole authority of Jesus Christ as the head of the church with the statutory authority of the state, that law would be null and void on it’s face as a lesser authority can not bind a greater. To wit a creation of man can not wield authority over a
creation of God.
WHEREAS, churches have never been technically exempt from taxation but rather immune from taxation and contributions have always been tax deductible on Form 1040’s of those who are liable to file such form; this being automatic without the church applying for Section 501 (c)(3) tax exempt status, and
WHEREAS, most likely church directors/officers were misled by, albeit, well-meaning Professional advisers, by withholding material facts, the effects of such uninformed decisions having devastating unintended consequences on this body of Believers and their children, and
WHEREAS there is the possibility that Church directors/officers were indeed traitorous to Christ and his Local Church, knowing full well the fact that no servant can serve two masters, but that they did with malice intent surrender the headship of Christ over his local Church for filthy lucre sake or some other nefarious intent to the state,
WHEREAS, by dissolving the corporate charter of this Church and revoking Section 501 (c)(3) status should have no adverse change in this Church’s finances, there is no valid scriptural reason for maintaining such status quo, and
Petition to Dissolve the Corporate Charter and Revoke Section 501 (c)(3) Status
WHEREAS, it is necessary to carry forward these actions timely, to reclaim and restore or establish this Church to a pristine status under the sole Sovereign authority of Jesus Christ, and the Holy Bible as the inspired perfect written representation of that Authority and to preach and teach the whole counsel of God’s Word.
NOW THEREFORE, I strongly urge (DEMAND) the Board to dissolve the corporate existence of this Church by written resolution and revoke the Section 501 (c)(3) status attached thereto; with proper Notices to appropriate officials to follow.
