Let's see.

I'm making substantive points about the topic of the thread. You're making vacuous, irrelevant and demonstrably false remarks about an individual.

But I'm trolling?

In what universe?

The mall and the source of income for its construction have nothing to do with the original topic. You threw the reference to the mall out fishing for a response.

Trolling.

The bolded assertion is an out-and-out lie.

I was responding to Drifting, who wrote:

No it's looking to legally skim 10% off the new Italian members and whisk it off to Salt Lake City for a new Mall or something...

Comments? Questions?

I took it that you were responding to me rather than trolling.
It's a shame you didn't take up the invite to read and post on the thread about UK Church financial report for 2011.

Not being an accountant (although I did complete an accounting qualification) I find financial reports exquisitely boring. Was there a particular item of interest to you?

The Agreserves item, perhaps?

In the UK the Church has to publish its financial accounts by law.
I've posted the highlights and it makes for simple, interesting reading.
Have a peruse and see if you want to make a comment.

Temples 'making' £500,000 per year is noteworthy.
As is the number of people receiving salaries from Church funds of more than £60,000 per annum.

Oh shoot he found me out. It was Drifting who initially chummed the waters.

So now that I have been caught and called out....... Do I man up and admit to it or engage in a campaign of denial.....?

For the record, I apologise for accusing you of lying. Clearly when you accused me of "trolling," you simply hadn't bothered to read the whole post; three sentences or so with one small quote block.
