Comments on: NARTH Loses Tax Exempt Status (UPDATED) https://wthrockmorton.com/2013/03/12/narthtaxstatus/ A [retired] college psychology professor's observations about public policy, mental health, sexual identity, and religious issues Wed, 30 May 2018 19:50:34 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.3 By: Warren https://wthrockmorton.com/2013/03/12/narthtaxstatus/#comment-90868 Wed, 30 May 2018 19:50:34 +0000 https://www.wthrockmorton.com/?p=14155#comment-90868 In reply to David Gerard.

David – I don’t know, but it probably won’t make donors very happy if they have included those donations on their tax returns.

Roy – Thanks for the info. Whatever communication problem NARTH has, it isn’t going to matter. The IRS rep told me that there is a procedure to follow to get reinstated and they will need to do it before they can get their status back. Donations from last September on are subject to scrutiny from the IRS.

Also, will be attending Exodus for the first time since I helped create it. Alan Chambers invited me. Should be interesting.

BTW I do not want to make a donation, I just wanted to get a response and that seemed like the best way to get them to email me back. Too bad they do not have spell check on their computers!

Dear NARTH,
I’d like to make a donation and I want to make sure it is and will be tax deductible.
Thank you,

I have missed you.
Where have you been?
Have you been reading the blog of that woman called canyonwalker? How she was stalked and harassed by that lay minister and the the lay ministers daughter?

The male receptionist (who would not give his name) says that “all donations and membership fees” are tax-deductible and that he personally sends a receipt for tax purposes. He said he had not heard any news to the contrary.
