Quotas for tax exemption?

[Will Linden]

   Well,  I am bringing up our church's troubles again. The dysfunctional 
minister has been discharged under the termination clause, and left 
frothing at the mouth and vowing to be revenged on the whole pack of us.

    One of the wrinkles in the latest round of "Telephone" has him claiming 
that we have to maintain a minimum number of members or lose our tax-exempt 
status. (Of course, this raises the question of what in vastation HE was 
doing about it during his tenure.) Is there anything to this, or is he just 
blowing smoke? Is there some clause in the !$#@!$! New York Religious 
Corporations Act which could come around to bite us? (Again).
