Selling a membership to a cult or church is not the same as selling insurance.
for one an insurance company is a register business and pays taxes off the money it makes.
so is Dave paying the tax man his tax contributions from the money his business makes and more so is he paying taxes on the "contributions' he pockets? because if it is a salary he better be paying taxes on that like everyone else...
his website is a .COM not a .ORG which means that the donations made on that website not for a charitable tax exempt institution like a church but instead...
if I was a church goer I would be concern
