Putting the Church’s “Rainy Day Fund” In Perspective

[Rivendale]

And to avoid the question based on the OP topic, our trolling gymnast switches to ad hominem attacks. So typical. Back to the topic:

At this point it doesn’t matter. Course corrections have been made. The work rolls on. It only matters to those who have an interest in seeing the church crumble or disappear. It won’t.

It has to be relevant before it crumbles. With less than 1/10 of 1% of the Earth's population credited as being Mormon (much lower probably) it is barely a fly speck on the windshield of humanity.

That being said, the church, for its size, has had significant influence in humanitarian efforts, social and moral stances, and economic influence. More so, granted, in some areas of the world compared to others.

What I’m actually referring to, however, is the church itself. When different sorts of roadblocks and issues come along and exploited by those that would desire to tear the church down, the church rebounds and keeps on going.

No unhallowed hand can stop the work from moving forward.

Jesus [finds] the Mormon church so absurd…

I think you’re lying again. I tell ya’, it’s chronic condition with you. Moral relativism, ain’t it great?

That is what the Romans thought also. That is what Genghis Khan thought. That is what Dave Koresh thought. Sometimes people don't learn from the patterns. Are you one of them?

I suppose time will tell.

Perhaps build the starship Nauvoo?

Though I rarely comment on them, I always appreciate your literary references. Nice work.

Agreed!

And to avoid the question based on the OP topic, our trolling gymnast switches to ad hominem attacks. So typical. Back to the topic:

When it comes to the church, it's usually a combination of both incompetence and deceit.

Jesus, a man who literally went out of his way to feed thousands of people, would probably look at the church's finances and would tell the church leaders, "You know, the whole 'render unto Caesar' thing was about paying your taxes, not about out-earning him and then burying the treasure like a obsessive compulsive squirrel with a serious hoarding problem."

Jesus would likely find the Mormon church so absurd that he'd give a new parable on the spot, perhaps titled "The Hypocrites and the Hedge Funds." It would be a parable about a man who built colossal, opulent temples while many people outside starved.

I suppose the question for me is…is a decades-long, systemic, fraudulent shell company and false reporting scheme the hallmark of God’s one true Church? You have to answer Yes to that question to maintain belief that it is.
