Get an education, look up Mormon Welfare. A world wide program to help the poor.
maybe... but the real question is ... does that program help the needy of the Mormon planet Kolob?
lol

Apparently you are the one that needs the education. Mormon welfare is ONLY for ‘worthy’ LDS members who when they need food or help with bills, must pass a ‘worthiness’ (spiritual) interview and then submit to a member of the local church leadership to determine their needs (like having a member of the women’s organization go through their pantry - I am not kidding). They also must be full tithe payers.
Then they, if at all possible, must WORK to pay for it in the church’s ‘Bishops storehouse’.
It isn’t charity at all and it isn’t for non-LDS.
What few times they DO help outsiders - like Haiti- they send a couple of hundred tents and sleeping bags so people can sleep in the parking lot (not in the church) and then call press conferences to say how much they are helping. We saw that firsthand during the Haiti crisis here on FR. One of the E’s (elsie or ejonesie22) posted pics of google earth that showed the stark contrast between what the LDS church was doing and the Catholic church a couple of blocks away.
The LDS do NOT open their books and tithing goes to things like building malls in SLC and who know what else. The church is never held accountable. Fast offerings are in addition to tithing and again go only to ‘worthy’ LDS.
Missionary funds (again in addition to tithing) are supposed to help pay for missions but I know when I asked for help for my LDS mission I was told to get LDS friends to pay for it and ‘sponsor’ me. The church would not help.
LDS tithing goes only to further the LDS church. Period.
