Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That seems unlikely. It's probably a similar tax code to what governs home offices and the like. If not, everyone would declare their house a church pretty quickly whether or not they built the thing with cash.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
What's the plot of Legend... nevermind.
Just stop there. I remember seeing it once ... it seemed dark, confused, and not very good. Tom Cruise, Mia Sera and Tim Curry ... who might have saved it, except he was even less recognizable than in Rocky Horror (heavier makeup, mask, etc.).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I started reading the plot and got quickly bored. I doubt that even in my Tom Cruise crush phase I could have made it through. Unless Tim Curry dresses like a woman. That got me through Blue Money. It can get me through a lot.
But dude, it had unicorns!

My weekend will probably consist of going to the ER a day early, which theoretically gives me an actual workable weekend day. Should things turn out that way, I have no idea what I'll do with Sunday.

The rule is that all or any structure is used for religious services. Jim Bob ran for office in Arkansas not too long ago-though he lost.

And if they are not quite pure quiverfull, their ideology is certainly a variation on that.
Lots of conservative religious people eschew birth control. Arguably ALL of them are variations on Quiverfull. "They're trying to breed themselves into dominance" has been opined about all of them (and by some of them).
I don't know if there is pure Quiverfull. I don't think it's a membership thing with dues and rules and a Quiverfull Pope so much as a philosophy adopted in various degrees and permutations by various people. It seems to be, like so many things, largely a matter of self-identification.
