Yes, and....what's your point?
Do you imagine some grand conspiracy backed by the LDS Church that got Elizabeth kidnapped so that the Smarts could later make a movie and a book deal so that they could collect the 10% of the profits!? Or that the LDS Church is pressuring the Smarts to cut a movie or book deal so that the church will get their 10%!!? What a whacko conspiracy theory. Are there black helicopters involved too? Tin foil?
Have you ever seen how the church spends the tithing and fast offerings it receives through voluntary donation? Casting such aspersions - bearing false witness - surely aren't the mark of a Christian. Haven't I heard you claim to be Christian before? Prove it. Act like one.
But if you try to tell me that the Mormon church isn't looking at this as great opportunity, you're crazy.

Kind of hard to see those records since those records are hidden from the public.
