Could LDS Inc buy you back into activity?

[Guest]

With the recent abrupt announcement of John Dehlin going back, again, to full Mormon activity, one could speculate that he sold out, or was bought by the deep pockets of LDS Inc.

Hypothetically, if you were in a position of public influence similar to John, essentially leading the members out of the chapel and off church property, what price would you accept from LDS Inc to do an about face and return to full activity?

God damned poll feature is still broken.

We could do a lot with $100,000,000. Am I evil in saying that I would do it for that much?

I'd think seriously about it for a million dollars. For ten million I'd almost certainly go back. You can buy anything in this world with money. ;-)

That's not to say I'd believe it. But if sitting my butt in the pews for 3 hours a week is all they want, sure, give me $10million and I'll see you next Sunday.

Sellout.

Think about potential millions perhaps billions of tithing dollars lost due to efforts like John's. A hundred mill is probably a wise investment by LDS Inc to plug the Dehlin hole.

People are leaving regardless. I bet they look at Dehlin as a net positive. Hey, at least Dehlin is helping keep a few from leaving.

10,000,00 lump sum. Then offshore it and disappear into the Caribbean.....

Totes. That's a very good hourly wage! I'd even clean a toilet or two.

Will I have to pay tithing on the bribe?

I would make sure you were paying tithing before you joined the Church.
