Unfortunatelly this mayor is minsinformed. JW in France, don't pay more tax than other religion. And the State council has, two years ago, recognised them as a religion, in fact, not implicitely, but this is the same practicely. Bye Charles

JW in France, don't pay more tax than other religion
I was under the impression that main stream religions in France (like other countries) don't pay ANY tax, but that they're trying to crack down on religions that are viewed as "sects" or "cults", and trying to make them pay taxes..........is this correct? Was the Society, along with Mormons and Scientology and others, told that they were going to have to start paying taxes (in France?)

I remember when I was in France in the late 80's, I boldly told my pen pal from high school days about my religion and even offered her a Paradise book in French (wasn't I prepared.) She sort of looked at me and mumbled in French, the best I could translate "What have you gotten yourself into..."

I attempted to place two of the Paradise books to my friends in France, both of which turned me down flat. Those two books sat in my stack-up JW library until I gave all of my books to a countercult ministry. I guess it didn't have a lasting effect because I still correspond with them after all these years!

Over in France using the 1993 Waco incident as a Springboard they are indeed coming up with Directories of Cults and in some instances Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons got listed as Cults (Well ok they are Cults but genuine Christian Churches have also been listed in the Cults Directory as well, Scary thought).
I happen to be One Eighth French and I often say my French Ancestors were Smart enough to get outta France, especially with the stuff that goes on over there today including Anti-American and Anti-Semetic sentiment.
One individual from France I chatted with who has been to America before has expressed that he would absolutely like to leave France and move to America and I say more Power to him too.
Inspite of the Tense relaitons we have with the French Government I am totally wiling to welcome with Open Arms anyone from France who wants to get outta there and move to America.
And from Conversations I have had with a couple of French people I know for a fact that inspite of how many over there hate Americans there are some who absolutely wanna come to America because believe it or not America is a better Country to live in and Individuals in France wanting to move to America know it too.
For Instance I myself am a person with Disabilities and that one Individual from France I chatted with who is himself a Disabled person said that France does not have good services for the Disabled people and inspite of the flaws America has in services for Disabled people, America's services for Disabled people are a whole lot better than France.
An Example of such is that the American Special Education System is much better than the French Special Education System.
Another person from France said something about the major restrictions they have on if one wants to Homeschool their kids in France (She said yep the American Homeschooling System is much better than the French system).
