A woman phoned me this morning and wanted to tell her story. TBM for 35 years, she was very much involved in a ten million dollar international program, headed by one of the apostles, to develop a special training program. Before the program was complete, the church was sued by two men over the program. She was one of the co-defendants, along with the apostle. She said that the church's case was ironclad, all it needed was to go to trial. She even traveled to the US to testify.
But at the last minute the church lawyers decided to settle the case so that the apostle would not have to appear in court. The settlement amount paid by the church was three million dollars.
This woman was astonished, and began to question everything about the church. She had spent half a million dollars of her own money in working on this project, and submitted invoices to the church authorities for reimbursement.
Their response? "Sorry, but we can't repay you - the Church doesn't have that much money."
She is now out of the church and called me to ask how she could get involved in the exmormon community (she hadn't even realized that there WERE "exmormons").
(I have omitted some details to avoid identifying the people involved, but she gave them to me: the name of the apostle, the location of the trial, the location of the project headquarters, etc.)
