I hope I am not revealing too much by admitting at one time I found it quite faith promoting . . . :redface:


Oh yeah. I listened to the cassette tape of how they were developed a 100 times on my mission. The guy was named Dunbar, right? Very faith promoting at the time.

If the Morg was forced to confront this, they would likely say that he who is paid, is not a minister, but is an administer.

Which I think is very much the case. The ministry is local leaders, not those enthroned on red chairs.
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.

To ensure that Mormon Bishops and Stake Presidents tow the line, more and more of them are being called from employee's of the Mormon Corporation.

So yes, the Mormon Corporation uses a paid ministry.
