No, it’s not a joke.

I’ll take it one step further. The church doesn’t provide the bread they use for sacrament either. One of the boys is tasked with bringing the bread each week. Out of their family’s own pocket.

Now some will argue, “what’s the big deal”? Well, if the family is scraping the barrel, every dime and every slice matters to that family, that’s the “big deal”.

How’s that for “cutting expenses”?

I wonder how that $4B mall in SLC is coming along. That’s worth a couple of billion loaves of bread.

It boggles the mind, the letter is only speaking of outward appearances......God does not care about the outward only the heart. My lds cousin tells me that they are expected to act and look perfect for the outside world to see, yet he further adds that lds will stab you in the back at the first chance in oder to further their own progression. (He has since left lds, when he left home. It took years before his family had anything to do with him.)
