Show - SEPTEMBER 23, 1994 Foundation lt Isn't About Money! Talmage Weis laughed. "Nearly all of us out there 2 _ are bachelors. That label is “just another swipe with the ugly brush." Weis is a member of the Immanuel - Foundation, an integrated ~ church auxiliary of the Fraternity of Preparation. - “Out there" is Section 16, ' Township 28 South, Range - 18 West of the Salt Lake Base and Meridian, more commonly called Vance Springs. The property was sold May 26 by Beaver County for back taxes. "Women and children are tender of heart, as they should be, and should not be subjected to the uncertainty and stress we are now facing," Weis said. On September 2, the Foundation was denied a Restraining Order to halt legal proceedings. The next day members received a Five Day Notice to Vacate. The Notice, dated August 30, was sent from the office of Wynn Bartholomew, attorney for Ranger Enterprises, purchaser of the property. Bartholomew advised that We. study the Scriptures, and know that hard times are coming on this nation. It is our intent to establish a place of refuge, a religious enclave, provided by the labor .of our. hands, and. owned in common by those few who choose to come out of Babylon," he said. Weis compares their refusal to sign a request for tax exempt status and _ refusal to pay the tax under protest, to Daniel's refusal to cease praying because of the king's mandate. Although they will not enter into a contract with the government to gain tax exempt status, they will continue, as __ belligerent complainants without the -service of an attorney, to sue for that status as their Constitutional right. "Where is the law that over rides the Constitutional right to worship conscience?” according to Weis asked. Weis contends that men are sons of God, and not creatures of the state. "We will document. and his clients will proceed in full compliance with the law, establish firmly before God but with an abundance of and caution. "They (Immanuel Foundation members) are fighting their battle the wrong way," he said. "This isn't about nation has turned it's back money," to make Foundation answered the Notice to Vacate, which is under civil court jurisdiction. County Attorney Leo Kanell said an answer not prepared by an attomey may not contain the a contract with government to pay the taxes, we could necessary legal information, have received many times in which case it would be benefits like food stamps, disregarded by a judge.
