Mission presidents and their families have a stipend for gift giving, along with housekeeping, lawnwork, drivers, education fees, room, board and everything else you can imagine. All paid for.
They've got to spend the money as fast as they can - or as fast as they can make/ 'print'/ con it - before it all falls appart, or comes unraveled.
If they just invest in enough missions, stakes, areas, properties, propaganda, false advertisements, promises/ temples, etc., they reason there will be no need for "eternity", for it'll be heaven (hell) here on earth.
The early Mormon church always wanted to find the money!
The current Mormon church simply wants to hide it.
I would love to earn an MP's "stipend." It would beat my salary by a mile. But of course they are big men pulled away from big careers doing big things. *gag*
French cuffs are the gateway to tone-on-tone white dress shirts, which are the gateway to colored dress shirts, which are the gateway to checked and patterned dress shirts, which are the gateway to...gasp... Bow ties! Crested Blazers! Ascots! Turtlenecks! Cock Rings! Tattoos! Coffee!!! Oh My!
I think I saw a large ring on Hartman Rector's hand, with a large #1 on it. I was told it was from his mission in Cal., when they were number 1 in baptisms.
