Of all people to loath the internet, it has to be the Mormon Corporation. But here is an article by them celebrating their enemy.

Re: Do Church Leaders encourage divorcing apostate partners?

YES, YES THEY DO! Our bishop (what a joke title) instructed my TBM wife that I would be the destruction of her and our children's external existence and that IF she didn't divorce me, she would become evil by association. She felt offended by this unsolicited command and went to the stake president ...

No, there is no formula for calculating income or income loss. As with most of these meetings, I didn't believe the $10,000.00 loss and the $150.00 to be auditable accounting numbers. Remember the meeting's intent was to emphasize staying on budget, preventing unnecessary losses, personal accountabi...

Re: An Alarming Trend with a Costly Outcome for Temple Build

Great insights! If you consider the lost tithing as well as the cafeteria Mormons like WaterDog, who feel justified in only paying tithing on their monthly/yearly excess, the church is going to have to find revenue sources from other spheres of their holdings. The problem with revenue from their ot...

I think the amount was for annual membership costs inclusive, though it wasn't explicitly stated as such.
