Since I don’t pay attention to the holdings of which churches, and who does what with whom, and how much the Vatican owns, and how much the struggling little pentacostal churches don’t own, I don’t have to name anything.

Of course, if push came to shove, I might try to research it all, but it would have to be an extremely good day for me, since CFIDS prohibits a lot of info coming in at any one time.

I could care less about Baaker or anyone else who uses the pulpit to line their own pockets. Ninety-nine percent of the LDS churches leaders, in any capacity, are independently wealthy. They have to be: The LDS church does NOT pay them a salary.

So where is the the argument?

Ninety-nine percent of the LDS churches leaders, in any capacity, are independently wealthy. They have to be: The LDS church does NOT pay them a salary.

First of all, the Lds general authorities DO get a salary from the Lds church.

Secondly, bishops in the Lds church, while not getting a salary, somehow manage to accrue expense accounts and stipends that amounted for some to be $40,000 in the early 1990s. (What is it now? $60,000?)

And yes, that's a second "job" on top of their first. If somebody wants to reimburse my living expenses to the tune of up to $60,000 as a "second" job, let me know to where to "sign up."
