Just being honest. The Church spent about a billion in charitable work over the last 30 years, 1.5 billion on a shopping mall downtown in a short time span, and rake in an estimated 7 billion per year in tithing alone. So I guess you can bask in the glow of perceived charity while someone is basking in a financial windfall by comparison. Go ahead and mention MJ users, if that justifies beefy clergy stipends for you.

Homeless people are not allowed to attend church with normal members, and are cordoned off to a special garage on Sundays located behind 4th Street Clinic downtown. They also are not given food orders because policy dictates that they must live in a residence to receive one. That's great that individuals contribute to help The Road Home, but that is not equivalent to what Jesus said at all. So don't pretend.

Creating jobs for people that were never homeless to begin with is also a complete non sequitur to this discussion. Work and means are Puritan/Protestant values that have nothing to do with anything Jesus actually said about helping the poor.

My condolences to you for the fact that Mormons are the most generous people that you have met. There is an entire world of generous people out there. My recommendation is to travel more.

Lies and misdirection...that would be your PR team. Also paid for by your tithing.

Do yourself a favor and avoid looking up the salaries of general authorities in Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and other commonwealth countries that are compelled to report corporate spending to the British crown. You'll save yourself from knowing the yearly comps that suggest what the Twelve and First Presidency probably make.

I have no insult to return to you in kind concerning you and your sister. I care deeply about the homeless situation in this city... much like the Jazz player mentioned in the OP.

With the money that your religious institution makes, it could end homelessness in Salt Lake by simply obeying its own religious texts. It could put all of the non-profits in town out of business. Instead, we have a shopping mall with a retractable roof, and a new building on Main to accommodate Goldman Sachs, all star playa' of the 2008 financial crisis.

No wonder you have to rely on school yard insults :) Your religion is essentially a red carpet layer for modern Babylon.

Claiming you can end homelessness is off the hook stupidity.
 
Sorry but I believe in standing up for the ridiculed, and in being a person sensitive to the feelings of others. That is kinda a trait that made humanity what it is. Sorry the gene passed you by.
So you believe in getting butt hurt over the stupidest little joke. People like you are the reason this world is so ****ed up right now. Your not standing up to anything, your throwing a baby tantrum over nothing.

Just talking about SLC. Your celebrities in suits have the means to house every homeless person here, which is about 3000 people.

The Road Home has housed 1000 homeless alone with a fraction of the donated money that LDS INC receives.

It can totally be done. The rich just don't give a **** because it doesn't "create jobs". There are some homeless who prefer homelessness and prefer to stay off grid, and if you knew anything about it you would know that most of them suffer from mental illness, and there is a dearth of not just affordable housing, but also mental health facilities here in the state.

But go on about how people trammel Jesus.
 
Just to add, I was in SLC for a week, staying downtown, and I was shocked at the number of homeless people roaming the streets. The city fathers need to address this problem. It tarnishes the image of the city.

An why do you not go on about how LDS suck cause they are not a magnet for homeless culture.

If YOU knew anything you would know enabling vagrant culture attracts tons an tons of homeless to your city. Not even liberal San Francisco has not learnt this lesson an said enuff is enuff.

So yah maybe the LDS take a different route based on there interpretation of Jesus sayings as written down 200 years later in the Bible New Testament. Do you know that the Utah Legislature is highly Mormon an many supporters of the Road Home are devout Mormons an they believe creating a ROAD HOME is a good think?

So what you wanna do about the mentally ill that refuse help? I guarantee you if you ask Mormons they would come out in droves both physically an financially to take these people off the streets.

You are talking smack on a people who have a adoption program for hell's sake. You really think these people do not care homeless mental illness? Come on man! They all vote to help injured an mentally veterans!

Mic dropped, thanks for the next infraction [MENTION=1988]Stoked[/MENTION] [MENTION=14]colton[/MENTION]
