Paid ministry in the LDS Church. Yes or no.

[_schreech]

Typical bcspace.

Oh, I know, I just want to make sure we keep this complete failure of his laughably bureaucratic apostate beliefs near the top. Then again, maybe he will nut-up and just admit that the LDS church has a paid "ministry"... I'm secretly hoping for another of his fantastically delusional posts in which he attempts (and fails) to save face after having his arse handed to him.

Of course he won't admit it. bcspace is famous for advancing losing arguments, but when he feels he's totally lost it he'll just disappear.

Back in the early 1980s, an "informant" said that the Senior Apostles got over 70K a year and junior apotles about 40 to 50K; in early 1980s dollars. The President of the Church got over 100K. This is not counting the "fees" and "bonuses" they receive from being on Boards of Directors of Church Owned Businesses. They attend one meeting every Quarter, and get hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for it.

The Seventies get good salaries, not living expenses, but good salaries. Also, there are many managers and assistants at the COB who also get salaries; some good, some ok, some low; depending upon their education, job, years on the job, and gender.

Also, the wives of General Authorities are also part-owners of for-profit construction companies that the Church uses to build chapels and temples and 5-billion dollar Malls. They get the profits. Who paid for the Malls and chapels and temples. YOU DID....fool!

I know local leaders are not paid— bishops, SPs.

I was under the impression though that at least some Area Authorities, MPs, and General Authorities got living allowances or stipends. Am I wrong on this? Do we know if anyone is paid anything? Are there any credible sources that talk about this?

Thanks in advance.

How did this testament to bc's failure to defend his one man church slip to page 2...Lets give him another chance to twist his way out of this bind using his ridiculously legalistic and nonsensical view of Mormon doctrine.

Come on bc, take your lumps. Stop hiding. Just admit you were wrong, for once.

It would seem that DHO is on the same page I am on this issue given the first session of Conference today.

My mind does not change with the rising and setting of a few suns. Let me know when you've been able to gainsay the definition of minster.

Look it up on wiki. Stop being dishonest here, just to defend a word. How stupid is this. Local leaders are not paid. GA's are paid. Simple. GA's are legally recognized ministers for the church by the government. Someone had already shown the use of the word minister to describe church leaders. I am sure there are many in published material. Why would you want to make up a new definition. All you are trying to defend is your stupidity.

Board no longer infected but bcspace still not answering questions.

Don't know if this has been brought up, but according to Quinn's Mormon Heirarchy, Vol 2, local bishops and stake presidents used to be paid out of tithing even up into the early 20th century.

All the Best!

Now you've cut off both of bcspace's legs.
