Prove it.

I've been waiting.

As even Kevin Barney has observed when commenting on a similar topic (i. e. GA "stipends" not coming from tithing), it really does not matter whether the money comes from tithing or not since money is fungible.

I realize it does't matter bit this same thing said all the time and cannot be proven.

As I have said maybe two dozen times here and elsewhere. And isn't fungible just an awesome word? It makes pressing this point all the more fun.

Laundered money still comes from dirty money. Calling LDS financial resources something other than 'bought with the widows mite' is a lie and no amount of calling it something else changes that fact.

Hello,

Well, I suppose clever wordplay would be lost on you, my good fellow. I was hoping my allusion to religion would be appreciated, but alas... Regardless, it is bad form to criticize spelling whilst employing the worst kind of grammar. Then again, intelligent, witty banter really isn't your strong suit, you babbling pudgy googly-eyed blemish on humanity.

Very Respectfully,

HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW?

are you implying that people are NEVER going to travel here from outside the country?????


Simple math. Please try to follow.

Total membership: 13,824,854 (source: Ensign 2010 May)
US membership: 5,690,672 (source: cumorah.com)
Membership outside of US: 8 134 182
Membership outside of US in percentage: 59%

In our ward, one of ten or twelve people travelled to US, most of the cases not to SLC. Please don't forget, our country is a rich one.

For courtesy, assuming the higher value, and that the destination every of them was the Temple Square, this is/maybe 10% of our membership. Moreover, if I assume the same value for Namibia, Chile or Philippines - which has very little likelihood - then
10% of the membership outside of US: 813 418 can see that object - in the future, using the same trend.

Those who never will travel there are, the 90% of the 59%, produce the 53% of the total. With less favourable estimate it is more than that 53%.


So, I am implying that poor people rarely going to travel there.
