Him and the rest are just administrators of a multi billion dollar corporation. Pay Pray and OBEY.

True. Religious corporations are a great gig if you can pull it off.
Low taxes.
No actual product.
Just investments and gullible people to keep it going.

Bingo. Running a multi-billion dollar company is a feature, not a bug.

Ponzi with blessings in exchange for money and work.

"Russell the Muscle" sounds like a WWE character. Except pro wrestlers talk less trash.

Probably just not paying attention but a couple of years ago it was - ongoing restoration, take your vitamins because we're just getting started & "Wendy it's happening!"

Lately, other than here a temple, there a temple, everywhere a temple, doesn't appear to be much new.

True. The official name for legal purposes is actually Corp of the president, why anyone thinks they actually belong to a real church is beyond me. The irs looks at it like holding company with only one member, the president.

The Corporation of the President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints no longer exists.

"Church officials recently wrapped up a corporate merger they had announced in 2019, when the well-known “Corporation of the Presiding Bishop” — used for decades to manage nonecclesiastical real estate and other holdings — was renamed “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.”

As 2020 closed, another long-standing church entity, its Corporation of the President, which governed temples and other sacred buildings, merged into the renamed corporation as of Dec. 31. The Corporation of the President has now ceased to exist, according to filings at the Utah Department of Commerce, the state’s keeper of corporate records."

"In 1887, the LDS Church was legally dissolved in the United States by the Edmunds–Tucker Act because of the church's practice of polygamy.[156] For the next century, the church as a whole operated as an unincorporated entity.[157] During that time, tax-exempt corporations of the LDS Church included the Corporation of the Presiding Bishop of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a corporation sole used to manage non-ecclesiastical real estate and other holdings; and the Corporation of the President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which governed temples, other sacred buildings, and the church's employees. By 2021, the Corporation of the Presiding Bishop and Corporation of the President had been merged into one corporate entity, legally named The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

And the whole thing is one massive scam with several million followers.
But if you can get people to swallow it they become slave like in their blind obedience

Not only that. If you resist too vocally they still have the Danites to send you on your way

Was he ever?
