Buddy of mine in the Army had just signed up with the Mormons while overseas. He hadn't gotten through all the initial training, etc., and he was approached by someone one who claimed a lot of authority in the church and he wanted to sell him an insurance policy.

The purpose was to insure that he could "make the tithe" in case he were ever unemployed.

At the same time my friend already knew enough about tithing to view that, in and of itself, as a sort of church based social insurance.

He didn't say, but I think he backed off that insurance policy, but as a "newbie" he was literally a sheep to be sheered by someone ~ so new recruits to the Mormons, or any other apostolic organization really ought to be very careful.

This stuff is not limited to the Mormons!

Your other post strange but interesting. Tithing is unemployed.........that is really weird. Unemployed, no money tithing based on first fruits..........how ridicules is this, insurance policy so tithing can go on.
