When you think of of 13 M millions plus members that there are no bad apples is being unrealistic...

In light of the info in post #369, gee, Resty...the years...
2010
2009
2008
must have been all bad apple bumper crop years for the Mormon church!!!...
...to bring a yield of $1.4 billion -- and still counting.

Resty...do you know of ANY church denomination which was turning out "bad apples" at even a 10th/ of that rate?

I mean c'mon...you make it sound like a lot @ 13 million people...but you can also slice this that the Mormon church is only 2% of the American population...
...and therefore, if it was your "bad apple" explanation, the Lds church would roughly have 1-3% of the religious fraud in America.

But if that was true, you'd have to times the $1.4 billion by 50 (Lds 2% of pop).

So has there been $72 billion worth of CRIMINAL RELIGIOUS PONZI-type fraud in this country the past two years?

Resty, given that 1 of 7 people are not religious/unaffiliated...I should be fair and exclude these from the figures I gave you...

So LDS is 1/43rd of the American religious population -- and less than 1/40th of the American Christian population, which reduces that $72 billion to $62 billion -- $1.4 stolen by Mormons. Tell us, have Christians criminally stolen almost $60 bllion the past two years from victims?

That's what Christians would have to do...is to rip off others at a pace of around $25 billion per year to try to keep pace with the Mormon con artists.
