Whistleblower allegations against LDS Church

[RJF]

Besides, I know what the $100,000,000,000.00 is really for...

It's so that Mormons can build the colony ship Nauvoo.



For anyone not watching the excellent series "The Expanse" the Nauvoo is a massive colony ship built by the Mormons to escape oppressive restrictions on reproduction. I won't say anymore to avoid spoilers.

Is it's destination Kolob?

Here's an excellent article. I found it very educational.

Very strong article. Thanks for posting.

I do. I actually worked for the homeless shelter here in Utah.

As what? You certainly didn’t work in housing. Otherwise you’d know first hand that HUD (a GOVERNMENT agency) grants subsidized housing vouchers to those who qualify as chronically homeless.

So what do they do? They pay deposit, and then ****ing rent.

Working at the shelter obviously gave you zero insights about it, so please stuff a sock in it.


Boohoo

Yes, obviously people have different experiences than you do. Here's one of mine. My mother made very little in her lifetime, and she has to live solely on her small social security income (and the charity of her children). But she pays 10% tithing (which is ridiculous since she has already paid tithing on her social security withholdings in the past), fast offerings, any money we give her, and every other thing the church asks of her because of the promise of future rewards. She is too afraid not to, especially as she is 82 years old and believes she will be meeting her maker soon. So this excessively wealthy church is making her life incredibly difficult to manage, and she constantly worries about money. So yeah, I do have a bit of a gripe about it.

The best part about tithing is that they overcharge. The law is based on Section 119 of the Doctrine and Covenants, and it asks for 10% of interest.

The Church interprets the word interest to mean “income”. The difference between these two calculations is significant, and would have been meaningful to your mom’s experience.

Allegedly, anyway. There was no evidence, just one guy who said so.

if true, it sucks ***. gotta call a spade a spade— I’m always the first to disparage the KSA.

I think they can name whatever planet they end up on whatever they want.

This is indeed a very solid discussion of the topic.

Maybe when it comes to LDS church. Yet we have thousands of other churches preachers living luxury life style, flying business class and indulging into all pleasures just because of tax exemptions. Doubt it can be called non-business related missions...I am kind of with you when it comes to monks and monasteries for example... I could see them as worthy tax exemptions ... not super rich organizations or those fraudulent preachers in possessions of millions of dollars.
Some good reads.

The infamous Jim Bakker comes to mind.

I read a meme on Facebook that made me giggle. It said something like: Breaking News - The LDS Church saves more money than it spends!
