Rev. Iss. 3 (1980) Available at: https://digitalcommons.pepperdine.edu/plr/vol7/iss3/6 This Comment is brought to you for free and open access by the Caruso School of Law at Pepperdine Digital Commons. It has been accepted for inclusion in Pepperdine Law Review by an authorized editor of Pepperdine Digital Commons. For more information, please contact [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]. Piercing the Religious Veil of the So-Called Cults Since the horror of Jonestown, religious cults have been a frequent sub- ject of somewhat speculative debate. Federal and state governments, and private groups alike have undertaken exhaustive studies of these "cults" in order to monitor and sometimes regulate their activities, and to publicize their often questionable tenets and practices. The author offers a compre- hensive overview of these studies, concentrating on such areas as recruit- ment, indoctrination, deprogramming, fund raising, and tax exemption and evasion. Additionally, the author summarizes related news events and profiles to illustrate these observations,and to provide the stimulusfor further thought and analysis as to the impact these occurrences may have on the future of religion and religiousfreedom. I. INTRODUCTION An analysis of public opinion would likely reveal that the exist- ence of religious cults' is a relatively new phenomenon, but his- torians, social scientists and students of religion alike are quick to point out that such groups, though cyclical in nature, have simi- 2 larly prospered and have encountered adversity for centuries.

  • B. Taxation of Revoked Tax-Exempt Organizations
    B. TAXATION OF REVOKED TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS: THE SYNANON CASE 1. Background When attorney Paul Morantz discovered the hard way that a four-foot rattlesnake was residing in his mailbox one day in October 1978, he had more pressing concerns than to wonder about the possible income tax implications of the event. Although he immediately might have suspected that his representation of two former Synanon members in a lawsuit against the Synanon Church, then recognized as an IRC 501(c)(3) organization, could have inspired retribution by the organization, he doubtless would not have foreseen, or at that moment much cared about, the subsequent administrative actions that resulted in the revocation of Synanon's exempt status, Synanon's legal attempts to regain that status, and its persistence throughout the entire period, both before and after revocation, in holding itself out to contributors as a charitable organization. The rattlesnake incident was far from the only questionable activity of the Synanon Church, but it was certainly the one that most captured the attention of the police, the press, and the IRS. As detailed in Synanon Church v. U.S., 579 F.Supp. 967 (D.C., D.C., 1984), in a 1977 speech called "New Religious Posture", Charles Dederich, Synanon's founder, had warned "Don't mess with us. You can get killed dead. Physically dead." Groups were organized to carry on a "Holy War" against Synanon's enemies, and Synanon had been tied to a number of beatings and acts of physical violence. During the summer preceding the incident, while Synanon officials were in Italy, phone calls were made to the United States in an attempt to arrange Mr.
