Re: New Project Shows Church Finance Corruption
MG 2.0. I don't care what charities you do or don't contribute to. Really, I don't. I do find your convoluted narrative entertaining. Thank you for posting the totally not-made-up nor edited receipt from WaterAid to cap it all off. Convoluted is one word for it. :roll: Wow. And still, no response w...

Re: New Project Shows Church Finance Corruption
It’s a strange position they’re in. They’ve never been more wealthy than they are now, but they’re also set to possibly lose a larger share of subsequent generations of members than perhaps ever before as well. In our area, despite the promise of a new-and-improved post-scouting youth program, the ...

Re: The distance between Christianity and the 4 Gospels
He is definitely a Christian conservative who at one time had flirted with leftest ideology and saw it for what it was. He’s a bit more complex than you’re making him out to be. The fact that he is a Christian conservative, however, will most likely discourage you from reading the book I’ve linked ...

Re: New Project Shows Church Finance Corruption
Now that’s funny. MG pitches a 40yr old charity, one of the best in the world, and incorrectly claims it was founded in Utah? Doesn’t that just sum it up. The root of all good things is Mormonism because Mormonism is the root of all good things. LOL!! MG should read the report linked in the opening...

Re: New Project Shows Church Finance Corruption
This is a known and documented event. Do your own homework. I couldn’t find any other source than Dehlin’s MS’s site. I’m asking for the primary source with context. Reason? Lots of stuff around here is taken out of context or cherry picked. This may be one more example. Regards, MG :roll: from mor...

Re: New Project Shows Church Finance Corruption
I didn’t tell the Zimbabwe president “we are not a wealthy people” when he asked for help with water. This seems to be a problem for you. You are referring to: When Zimbabwe Vice President Mohandi requested support for clean-water wells, Mormon apostle Neil Anderson said “We are not a wealthy peopl...

Re: New Project Shows Church Finance Corruption
That is what is truly despicable. The Zimbabwe president was asking for help with water— just WATER! For God’s sake, when the lds leader told him “we are not a wealthy people.” Bullshiit. The water emergency hasn’t improved in that country in decades. Meanwhile, donating a couple of days of just th...

Re: New Project Shows Church Finance Corruption
And then what's really disheartening is to see page 12. Such a disproportionate amount of church growth from lower-income regions, for like a generation or more. Has the church ever spent its money to support growth in those poorer regions? No, it doesn't. The church crimps every region's budgets t...

Re: The distance between Christianity and the 4 Gospels
I came across this statement, and thought it rather insightful: "People don't leave Christianity because they stop believing in the teachings of Jesus. People leave the Christian Church because they believe in the teachings of Jesus so much, they can't stomach being part of an institution that clai...
