Still laughing. Stop regurgitating what you are told and actually check out the IRS info on the major counter cult ministries. I said the same things when I was LDS, then I researched it for myself. The ‘industry’ is the LDS owned bookstores. They get you coming and going, especially since members are often discouraged from shopping at Christian bookstores.
BTW, I occasionally work, and am good friends with one of the larger ones, the owners have ‘day jobs’ to support themselves so any donations go straight to the ministry and they live modestly.
