Re: New Project Shows Church Finance Corruption

No, that's not true, it is not a question at all. Even if the lds church took in 0% tithing from 100% of its membership, they would still have enough interest income to cover 100% of their operating costs AND have at least 10billion leftover interest to grow their investment hoard even larger. They...

Re: New Project Shows Church Finance Corruption

An excellent presentation, although I think their estimates of church wealth may be low. According to this well researched website, the church has between USD300 and USD400 in commercial and agricultural real estate. http://www.bidstrup.com/ldsfinances.htm 60% of church membership is outside of the...

Re: The distance between Christianity and the 4 Gospels

If people want to argue it is their faith, fine, the discussion can end. But it doesn’t. Non believers on a board such as this one will continue pestering believers because they just can’t accept that people with an IQ above 100 can choose, on reasonable grounds, to believe in God. Regards, MG Huh....

Re: New Project Shows Church Finance Corruption

They are saving for a pandemic but not this one because it was too much of a financial bonanza for them to resist investing more. No, the pandemic they are saving for will need $Trillions upon $Trillions. It'll take a lot of cash to be able to lend the kind of money to the desperate in that day. I ...

Re: The distance between Christianity and the 4 Gospels

Given the opportunity to correct your error you double down on your lie. Wow. You are quite the piece of work. Ok. This is fun. I had already gone back and made clarification. Looks like we have Lemmie. 2.0, except you’re a guy, right? As in biological male. You are wasting my time just as she ofte...

Re: The distance between Christianity and the 4 Gospels

:lol: but dude! you didn't say that. You said this :roll: that's what you said. If you've changed your mind say so but don't pretend you didn't say it. What the heck does that mean? I have been expressing my opinion. Not much there. E Regards, MG :lol: :lol: :lol: Given the opportunity to correct y...

Re: Temple Cafeterias to close permanently

Q15: Lord, we need your guidance. There are so many people suffering right now. Suffering physically, emotionally, and most importantly, spiritually. Please, bless us with your will on how to best serve those whom you have granted us stewardship over. How do we help people to draw closer to thee? J...

Re: The distance between Christianity and the 4 Gospels

Refuting the intelligent design idea doesn’t require assuming multiple universes. I understand that. If I’m not mistaken, however , that seems to be the prevailing view among those trying their darndest to do away with and/or distort or ignore any findings that give potentiality to a reasoned belie...

Re: The distance between Christianity and the 4 Gospels

Yet again an exchange where you fail to provide an single synthesized argument you arrived at through study but instead regurgitated back cover synopses from wikis and other sources. I believe you do this because you don't actually understand what you are reading…. I will have to agree with this al...

Re: Temple Cafeterias to close permanently

I liked your story about teaching family history--- I didn't realize the class was that practical and I don't remember that in my married student ward. Was this before the indexing push? Good question. Regarding the later question I believe so since we had to go to the family history library to get...
