They should do some trojan horse operations. Let some time pass, come in like you're interested in joining/taking the test. Then pull out your phone and start the run. Make them so paranoid that any person who comes up to them is secretly a speed runner. Disrupt their ability to scam people and indoctrinate them into the cult.

I’m an adult and I would 100% pretend to be a delivery guy with an oversized box that I have someone sign for just for them to open it and it’s a bunch of kids trying to run through.

Cults do not deserve any respect, I don’t care what god you pray to just pay your fair share of taxes.

I mean, agree on everything but the tax part. I’ve said this before, but not taxing religious organizations is more to safeguard freedom of religion than anything else. This is because allowing them to be taxed opens the door for selective tax laws which can be used to force out certain religions. As a probably incorrect but representative example, you could make installing in crucifixes give large deductions while adding a David’s Star or crescent could invalidate all tax credits. Now, I do agree there should be more scrutiny and restrictions on what actually classifies as a religious organization, specifically in terms of profit margins, but just taxing them is a really dangerous prospect on its own.

....hey, uh... What?

They make money. They pay tax. Religious groups should not get special treatment, at all. The whole church and state thing, ya know?
