I’m well aware that the church has a business arm, and I’m glad if it successful.

Most of the church’s assets, such as meetinghouses, temples, universities, visitors’ centers, historic sites, etc. are money consuming, rather than money producing. They serve to support the mission of the church, which is to invite all to come unto Christ.

I believe that the LDS church is led by a prophet and apostles who are servants of Jesus Christ and who act under His direction. I don’t worry about how the funds are managed.

I am also well aware of how members of the church work without monetary compensation. I have contributed many hours of my life in the Lord’s service without any temporal pay and consider it a pleasure and privilege. I always feel happy to play my small part.

FWIW....this will be my last post to you.

IMO, you posted like a classic cult member.

I wish you well...
