It's charming how the closest analog to the church here is Donald TrumpMG 2.0 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 3:53 amBack on page 9 I posted this. Unless I’ve missed it I haven’t seen a reasonable answer to “why”?MG 2.0 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 22, 2023 7:53 pm
No. It was to show that there wasn’t some kind of nefarious intent. That the Brethren’s motivations were benign in respect to the members of the church.
Earlier someone said that their motivation is all about profits.
I then asked “why”.
No answer was forthcoming.
The prevailing opinion here is that there was some kind of evil intent or motivation involved in this whole thing.
I again would ask, why?
Simple and raw power and dominion? I really don’t think so. I think the actual reasoning was given in my earlier quote from Roger Clarke.

I’ve heard ‘control’ and ‘profits’ but neither of these seems to make sense. Could the church have benign and altruistic motives for caching a lot of dough? And similar to Trump did they do what they did taking advantage of the then current tax laws dealing with sheltering money. Even if it now looks shady?
The fact is, as soon as they were made aware of the problems that the SEC saw in moving money around in this fashion they stopped immediately.
Maybe the answers to these particular questions have been given due diligence/justice. If so, sorry to butt in.
I’m still not convinced there was nefarious intent after all is said and done. Did K&M have some smooth talkers and convincing Trump like arguments to present to church leaders? Possibly. But they may have thought the ends justified the means as long as they weren’t outright committing tax fraud/crimes. It’s been a week or so since I did read the SEC document.
Maybe I’m forgetting something. That I wouldn’t doubt.
Why is the church stockpiling a lot of dough?
