The fragment of the memo posted at the DC isn’t particularly damning, though — it requests a copy of bylaws, financial statements, and publications. I don’t know how routine that is for this type of filing, but it doesn’t match up to the multiple reports of excessive intrusion (content of prayers, names of attendees including minors, etc.).
I suggest you actually read the pdf file and you might change your mind
If you're a church, where's your bulletin? If you're a school, where's the classrooms?
People who work in this environment every day know there are scammers out there, so many of these questions are designed to elicit honest useful responses.
Others aren't ~ and in the case of IRS there seem to have been some newer questions that probably should never have been asked ~ looking over some of the complaints it's almost like someone forgot that IRS isn't the FEC ~ and that would be Lois Lerner and maybe an assistant or two she brought over from the FEC.
She's going to go to jail ~ with her friends.
You can scroll through the rest of the PDF file - there is a scroll bar to the right. It asks for a lot more than bylaws, financial statement and publications.
