Peace to you!
The other day I was thinking about taxes and religion, and my Lord reminded me of His conversation with Peter:
"What do you think, Simon?" he asked. "From whom do the kings of he earth collect duty and taxes - from their own sons or from others?"
"From others," Peter answered.
"Then the sons are exempt," 'Jesus' said to him.
The sons of the kings of the earth are exempt from paying taxes to those kings.
The 'christian' religion is exempt from paying taxes to 'kings', governments, etc. (all religions are exempt here in the west I think, but for the most part, only people IN 'christianity' claim to be following, listening to, and heeding Christ) The law of the land is set up so that the daughters that come from Babylon the Great's unions/adulteries with the kings of the earth, do not pay taxes... making it easier as my Lord tells me for more daughters to spring up, and certainly making those daughters rich. Rich with money and property and prestige and power... although NOT with TRUE riches, that come from Christ.
(I am not suggesting that tax exemptions are bad or anything, especially charity tax exemptions. If you feed/house/clothe/etc people and the government is set up to help you do that, or at least not tax you for doing that, then no problem. But I do think this charity status of religion 'hides' the truth about why some of these places really are tax exempt, and who is going make a statement against a charity being tax exempt?)
The WTS and other daughters who have come before them (and any daughters who come after them) are made rich (in the way of the world) by the kings of the earth. Because they are SONS of the kings of the earth. Or rather, daughters of the kings of the earth and BTG, born from her adulteries with said kings. And the kings of the earth treat those daughters as their own... because they ARE their own.
It is right there in black and white (although I never saw it before my Lord showed it to me). Sons of a kingdom are exempt from taxes to that kingdom. And WE... those who belong to Christ... belong to His Kingdom, and His Kingdom is not of THIS world.
There is another example that my Lord has reminded me of, from Abraham, who refused to accept things from another king, so that the king could not say that HE made Abraham rich, rather than God. Genesis 14:23 But BTG and her daughters HAVE taken from other kings, not just taken from, but gotten into bed with, so that truth is compromised and 'trampled underfoot'.
"'Come out of her, my people,' so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes."
"Therefore, "Come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you." And, "I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."
Let all who hear and all who WISH to, hear as the Spirit and the Bride say to you, "Come... take the free gift of the water of life!"
Peace to you, your servant, and sister, and fellow slave of Christ, tammy
