Note: The Mormon Church is more interested in shopping malls and cattle ranches than in helping the poor. By its own admission, the Mormon Church gave $60,000,000 in humanitarian aid last year. It is spending 15 times that for shopping malls.
In Jan. 2006, from the Church PR department, (Deseret News Publishing Company): Edgley said, “that since 1984, the LDS Church has donated nearly $750 million in cash and goods to people in need in more than 150 countries.” That averages to 37.5 million per year or about $3-$4 per Mormon member went to the poor. The total of $750 million in 22 years spent in cash in goods to people in need is less than HALF what the church is spending on these malls. Less than half!! The Mormon church is spending less than 1% of its income to help the poor. Is the Mormon church really a charitable organization?

No, but it is an organization masked as a church or religion and operates more as a corporation funded by the people who are members and required tithes which keep the hierarchy flush with funds to invest and purchase what they will and do with. Though they claim to be hoarding food stuff throughout the world for their membership it is really for those in the upper hierarchy and "appointed" to escape any pending catastrophe which might occur. The members frankly are screwed...and being screwed by this organization.
I won't wait.
This is NOT a thread about Mormons and Mormon bashing.
It's a theed about the loss of our freedoms - the road to serfdom - the REAL ‘shovel ready’ plan of O’bumbles?
Can't you save your Mormon bashing for threads devoted to that?
iloversarah2012, it’s pretty sad when a Mormon knows more about where everything belongs on FR than you do. Shut up and get lost.
And, BTW, I’m a Catholic
