In 2019, Church President Russell M. Nelson directed the merger of the Corporation of the Presiding Bishop and the Corporation of the President, and the resulting corporation was renamed The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.20 That same year, the First Presidency reiterated their commitment to using sacred Church funds wisely: “We take seriously the responsibility to care for the tithes and donations received from members. The vast majority of these funds are used immediately to meet the needs of the growing Church including more meetinghouses, temples, education, humanitarian work and missionary efforts throughout the world.”

You’d think if they could claim that well over half of all tithing is used immediately, that they would just publicly release their finances.

What is there to hide?

Just a reminder for tonight. We have been going through the slides and information, and this is going to ROCK.. I am very interested and excited to see this new analysis and an overall historical context I have not quite seen so starkly presented before. I see great significance here. So I hope you all will enjoy being with us, these two have put an astonishing amount of work into this. From Joseph Smith onwards right up to this brand new church essay on financials, the brethren have been, to very mildly put it, far less than honest in obeying the law, and this is documented tonight for the last literal 200 years. I am amazed at how they show this. I am very excited for this one.

This will be a great one, I can already tell. Good luck and have a great show!

Philo, on behalf of 'ruined virtuous women everywhere,' ( ) that was awesome! They were great guests and you all had a great camaraderie. Well done. I learned SO much about early finances, not to mention the criminal backgrounds of virtually every lds church president.

Thank you!
