This is perplexing. Whenever we have any kind of event that involves food, we are always requested to bring non members. There’s always plenty of food and plenty of good feelings.

Plus the LDS Church helps non members and members all over the world. There should be nothing but good things to say about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Just like all the Christian churches that reach out to people in need. Sheeeesh already.

From the exmormon source of the article: I volunteered in a cannery. They had the production schedule up. Out of the 12,000 cans we produced, 11.500 were specifically made to be sold. Only 450 were marked humanitarian. This says it all.

So, the Lds sets aside about 4% for "humanitarian" -- and sells the rest of its cans?

It can't even match the tithe it imposes on its members?

“There should be nothing but good things to say about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.”

OK, I’ll try!

Here are some good things I can say about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints:

... It is an uplifting teaching that we can all become mormon gods - very inspirational in such a depressing age!
... It is so nice to see the level of dedication of those young elders as they go door to door telling Christians their Churches are false - they inspire us all.
... It is a real service to humanity that the mormon church has recycled all those condemned heresies, instead of leaving them on the dustbin of Church history - recycling is a good thing, I’ve heard.

See everyone, it is easy!

My lds family has told me that when “charity” is given to its members they are asked to pay it back.
Do you have a source for the lds SLC group helping non members?

Articles of Faith

The Articles of Faith outline 13 basic points of belief of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The Prophet Joseph Smith first wrote them in a letter to John Wentworth, a newspaper editor,
in response to Mr. Wentworth's request to know what members of the Church believed.
They were subsequently published in Church periodicals.
They are now regarded as scripture and included in the Pearl of Great Price.

 

THE ARTICLES OF FAITH
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS
History of the Church, Vol. 4, pp. 535—541

 

 

1. We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
   
2. We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.
   
3. We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
   
4. We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
   
5. We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
   
6. We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
   
7. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
   
8. We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
   
9. We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
   
10. We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
    
11. We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
    
12. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
    
13. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

When you admit that LDS, INC. has probably over $50 billion in assets....

I will take your posts seriously.
