That could interfere with a business-oriented church.

Which is the whole point of this thread; I suggests the Church is primarily interested in finding new ways to motivate the members in order to increase funds for the Church. It would be embarrassing if they had to dip into the rainy day account and pull out a few billion to make ends meet.
Re: First Presidency Announces Annual ‘Tithing Declaration’
I imagine the new tithing declaration policy is designed go give members more time to get their finances in order and meet their tithing obligation by year end. So that would mean the matter remains open even after the declaration is made but a final follow-up would take place at year end. More time for the members to scramble and come up with the money. More time to feel pressured and guilty. It seems being a Mormon just gets harder and harder. Best get out now while the getting is good.

Doubling down on 10% of members' income when they know the whole thing is a fraud and ruse after releasing the essays 8 years ago with hundreds of billions in assets.

Why does the word "indulgence" come to mind.

And their children... a multibillion dollar corporation NEEDS children's pennies or they won't have anything for their rainy day. The children MUST contribute! The children MUST obey.

You’ve both been out too long. That’s not what Bishops are focused on.Philo Sofee wrote: ↑Tue Aug 16, 2022 11:56 pmAnd their children... a multibillion dollar corporation NEEDS children's pennies or they won't have anything for their rainy day. The children MUST contribute! The children MUST obey.

You've been in too long and can't see what your sorry Church is made of because its melted your brain.
By the way, what's the king's name in Facsimile No. 3? Tell me the name, please. I will never stop asking. For the rest of your life!
Re: First Presidency Announces Annual ‘Tithing Declaration’
I think I have enough self awareness to know whether my brain has melted.
It hasn’t.

Re: First Presidency Announces Annual ‘Tithing Declaration’
indoctrinate them when they are young, right? the leadership must not think parents are doing a good enough job if they now need to set aside a third of the year for bishops to "teach" families, one on one, the importance of giving their money to a group that's hoarding close to half a trillion dollars.Philo Sofee wrote: ↑Tue Aug 16, 2022 11:56 pmAnd their children... a multibillion dollar corporation NEEDS children's pennies or they won't have anything for their rainy day.
