IRS Drops Investigation of Church's Tax Exempt
Status
Three days after Pastor Deacon Fred and Brother Harry Hardwick met in
Washington with Messrs. Bush and Cheney, the IRS announced it was dropping its
investigation into whether Landover forfeited its tax-exempt status by
engaging in political activity. The
incident triggering the investigation occurred on the last night of the
Democratic Convention, when two deacons riding atop a circus elephant used
blow torches to set afire a live donkey at Landover Stadium, to the roaring
ovation of the 7,000 present. In
its written response to the allegations, the church reported the incident was
nothing more than an animal sacrifice prescribed by the Book of Leviticus.
