That’s a Strange God to Pray For

There are many religions in this world. But one you won’t see is the Church of the IRS. Somehow, that just doesn’t seem right.

Well, from Oklahoma comes the antithesis of this. Lindsey Springer and Oscar Stilley formed the Bondage Breakers Ministry. Were they looking to completely eradicate slavery? Well, no. Were they looking to eliminate totalitarianism throughout the world so people could enjoy freedom to worship? Well, no. Were they looking to destroy the Internal Revenue Service? Allegedly, yes.

Lindsey Springer and Oscar Stilley are accused of tax evasion. The US Attorney’s Office and the IRS accuse them of using cash, money orders, and cashier’s checks to hide income. Allegedly, neither has filed a tax return since the late 1980s.

In any case, the pair is looking at a lengthy stay at ClubFed if found guilty.
