Here is some interesting data I just found:  --->  http://www.lds.org/ldsnewsroom/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=d10511154963d010VgnVCM1000004e94610aRCRD

So, in 22 years, 12+ million members gave $201 million or a bit over 9 million a year.

 

That works out to less than 3 quarters for each member; less than $0.75!

 

Oh how generous we are to outsiders!

Ooooh that is valuable information and a poke right in their eye with a stick.

I doubt if most members ever work out the figures. The heirarchy tell them they do charitable work - the members show up at the cannery to can food supposedly going to outsiders, and in reality it’s .075 per member, per year. Classic!
