“Meanwhile, it asks members in third world nations in poverty to sacrifice their gold fillings to build ugly temples.”

What a load of crap. Everyone knows that Mormons always eat the babies first and then pry the gold from their parents mouths. /s

Please provide proof of your idiotic statement.

"From the church's own web site is a somewhat disturbing story of how members of the church in Argentina felt so compelled to provide funds for the temple that they actually gave their gold fillings from their teeth to the church.

"[Faust] emphasized the need to sacrifice for temple building and shared how members in Argentina found ways to donate during the construction of the São Paulo Brazil Temple. They gave the gold from their dental work to help pay for the temple. He said that he had purchased some of the gold fillings for more than the market price to share with congregations the nature of the sacrifice made by these members (Church News, 9 May 1998)."

"Although some may tout this story as one of 'faith', to us it is an example of pushing people to the limit of unnecessary sacrifice. The church did not need the gold fillings from these people to pay for the temple. The interest off the $100 billion of church assets could have easily covered this. Are there any LDS members that actually wanted these poor people to feel that they had to rip the fillings out of their mouths and give them to the church? "


Given your displayed temperament, I neither expect nor need an apology.

I would suggest you learn to use Google, instead of lashing out at those who know how to do so. We don't mind doing your research occasionally, but it gets tiresome over the years.

Thanks.
