There is that assumption again.
The church owning land means zero to me. Wait, I might have issue with it in regards to property tax issues and education funding. But, I'd have to do some research.
But in general, I truly don't care how many acres they own, or plan to own.
But since they didn't homestead act those acres, my saying the church is a buyer of real estate, and would be so if "transfer" were to happen I feel safe in saying.
But AGAIN. The original post named 2 companies. And the church. The question was about will members follow along, not follow along, or some combination of the 2.
The Deseret crack was just that, but even if it wasn't, it to had a one word answer.
The definition of property never came up, until I posted multiple press pieces. Each one saying "church property".
It does not say churches. It says property. I never claimed to be a lawyer, but I did take English 101. I'm sure some bright lawyers looked at it, who also took English 101. Which means either they didn't think about Deseret. Or they were intentionally misusing the word "property".
In non lawyer land, if you post no trespassing signs on your "property" that generally means land as well as buildings.
But that still doesn't change the intent of the OP.
Your assumption was that it was a "Targeting" of LDS, and you decided to save it.
Words to matter. Notice how tortured you are in using them. We are now discussing capitalization. Also Notice it's your profession doing so.
What is the legal definition of property?
Property Law Law and Legal Definition. ... Property is anything that is owned by a person or entity. Property is divided into two types: "real property," which is any interest in land, real estate, growing plants or the improvements on it, and "personal property" (sometimes called "personalty"), which is everything else.
