TBMs: Are your Church donations well spent?

TBMs, give your best explanation why the money you donate to Mormon Church duties/attendance is well spent, and better spent than if you donated to another charity.

What other 'charitable' organization will have the worlds most expensive mall in existence?
How about private hunting preserves?
What about FIFTEEN top leaders who walk and talk with Jesus, personally?
Temples that contain 'holy of holies' where God & Jesus come down, sit in a LaZboy chair with their feet up and watch reruns of BYU football?


How could anyone doubt their money is being well spent?

It simply isn't charity when the money you give up is used to construct buildings for those that already have shelters, or to students that could otherwise pay for their schools like everyone else.

But hey, I admit that I never once heard that my 10% went to saving even one starving child (which the church could not prove that it could or did - ever) - just the 1% I had left over to give as a fast offering after everything else was gone.
