1..Subj: Comments on I have a question on use of temple money

Poonam Abbi to me

Aadarneey Attri Ji,

You said, "It is not state property. If the money came from taxes, then it is state property, and belongs to the state. But temple offerings & contributions are not tax money. They do not belong in the state treasury. The temple money came from the devotees. " There is also the issue that much of the money that comes from the devotees is in form of the daily chadhawas etc. & that is the money the devotees have alerady paid the tax on. Does the state have the right to first collect the tax on the money, & then go & grab the money too?

COMMENT: Yes, it is Net Income of the devotees ( that is, income after payment of the taxes ).

3. Quote: Does the state have the right to first collect the tax on the money, & then go & grab the money too?

COMMENT: Poonam Jee: The government has no such right/rights.

It measures up to a massive piece of swindle job. That is how pickpickets operate.

4. To put it in plain-spoken language: Government has no business sticking its nose, in temple business or in temple's money. Any body who believes otherwise, is really gullible.
