through Deseret Indistries where poor folks are given jobs
_______________________________________________
Jeffie those poor folks are not PAID for their work
Theyre expected to volunteer their time...
The farms and canneries of that part of Mormon Inc are like anything slse
The Mormons are suppose to give their time and money...
the Morg doesnt PAY out
It demands the members PAY it...
You dont gather HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS to yourself by giving to others..
and when the moembers are given a wee bit of money ???
Theu sign LOAN contracts
and have to pay it back
WITH INTEREST
and they are treated like beggers and thieves for asking...
DONT even try to equate the Mormon business with a real benevolent group like Catholic Charities...
Actually, there are many people at DI who are paid and who are put into job training programs to advance themselves.
Others serve their in pure charitable service helping make things, repair things, and then sell them at discount prices (like any such discount store) so that the incoming dollars pay for the operation and then the profits/excess are used for other charitable purposes.
