I don't think the Miller's actually make the money from the sale of beer at the ESA. Unless I'm mistaken, they just rent the space out to the people who sell the beer. So they would be paying tithing on the profit from the space rental. Could be wrong though.

Personally, I could care less where you get and what you all do with your blood money... you earned it, its yours to spend how you like. My point is that if you are trying to adhere to heavenly restrictions on how you spend it you should probably be looking for answers in places other than financial sheets of famous businessmen...

Even if this was true, wouldn't it just be a "loophole" situation?

Jesus Christ? Is it a fair assumption that EVERYTHING the Millers do is representative of how we should live our personal lives? or does Beantown need to go back and take a few more Primary lessons?

Beantown is how I prefer my human beings: docile, unlearned, and non-intellectual. He'll be great sitting by my side in the celestial kingdom feeding me fruits.

Anyway, all this tithing stuff is negligible. Just as long as we keep the church's malls and various businesses well-financed, we're golden. Ideally, I'd like our total assets to exceed 100 billion by the 1st quarter of the 2020 fiscal year, but I know that's probably a bit too much to ask.

Just out of curiosity... if the Miller's ran a sex trading industry and paid tithing on its profits, would that make it OK for you and the rest of the LDS church to do the same?

Yea because a sex trade industry is a legal business....you're a ginormous idiot.
 
I'll be honest, I don't think the church much cares where the tithing money comes from as long as it can say it doesn't want it from sources that are against its doctrine and is politically covered as a result. I mean, when's the last time you heard of the church auditing financial records and giving tithing back?

Wasn't mankind's persecution of Jesus Christ bad enough the first time?!?!

I know that many people expect the Resurrection to be a massive event where the heavens open up and Jesus comes down on a grand chariot... but in this day and age Jesus probably realizes that many people are indoors, enjoying the A/C, and will just think the strange noise outside is just another drive-by. Therefore, it seems like the internet would be a GREAT place to make his second coming!

lol... so are you arguing that state legislature / federal congress > god's word?

What about in the Netherlands? Sex trade is legal... If the Miller's sex trade profits came from their business in the Netherlands, is it fine to support the church with? I mean... It's legal there...

Vinylone, I know I can't win you over with miracles or answers to prayers. I can't swoon you with fancy King James English. You are a man of science. But what if I were to tell you that... I can make you taller?

Just give it some thought.
