Rollo,

Where are you getting this from and what post contains it? I see no previous post of yours on this thread that lists the break down of expenditures.

My list you quote above are the four programs/activities where FARMS spent $1,549,107 -- on the Form 990, these are called "program services." FARMS spent another $1,142,706 on "management and general." Thus, the total expenditures by FARMS in 1998 was $2,691,813. Form 990 also breaks these big numbers down among specific expenses (as well as between "program services" and "management and general"), like "postage and shipping" and "printing and publications," as well as "other salaries and wages," among others.

"Moving beyond apologist persuasion, LDS polemicists furiously (and often fraudulently) attack any non-traditional view of Mormonism. They don't mince words -- they mince the truth."

He has a copy of the FARMS Form 990, which is available to the public.

Jersey---

Have you bothered to actually look at the 990 forms yourself?

You mean look it up for myself on the internet instead of relying on others to inform me? No, the thought never crossed my mind.

And you?

And you?


Yes, I've looked at them. Have you? (The 2nd time you've been asked, I note.)

Is this 990 form available online, or do you have a printed copy, Scratch?

Is there a link we could access?

Thanks! :)

I already answered your question in the very post you've copied above. Why ask a second time?

He provided a link to a clearinghouse of sorts online somewhere in this thread, I believe. I'm too lazy to look it up, but you can scroll through his posts and find it.

Thanks, skippy. I must have scrolled right past it earlier. I'll try again.
