New ad campaign will target LDS Church's tax-exempt status

(KUTV) — A new advertisement will soon run on cable television that encourages former and current Mormons to divulge information harmful to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' tax-exempt status.

Gay-rights activist and Mormon critic Fred Karger is behind the ad, which is set to debut this week.

According to a press release, the ad will feature four former Mormons and Karger describing what they consider misdeeds by the LDS church, including its treatment of the LGBTQ community and its stance on ordaining women.

It will then ask viewers to share any information or documents that could be used in a formal complaint against the church to the Internal Revenue Service.
