have officially resigned my membership and will be giving them NO money, EVER, as it is obvious why BYU wants the updated info on any and all alumni.
Here is the copy and paste email they sent me yesterday: Oh, and I went their one year ONLY, as a freshman.
(I expected it to say, and BTW, if you are a Dr., dentist, or atty, or making a lot of money in whatever your chosen profession, we would REALLY like to hear from you!)
Dear BYU Alumnus/Alumna:
We're looking to strengthen our employment network to help alumni and current students. Employment data also helps us track the career paths graduates have taken with the degrees they've received from BYU. Please support our efforts and take a minute to update our database at

It is SO obvious they want to track anyone that ever went there to ask them for MONEY.
Actually, they have always contacted BYU alumni asking for cash, as when we lived in Texas my ex was on the BYU alumni phone calling committee 2 years in a row. It was like a mini calling. He HATED it!
They were told to always ask for double whatever the person gave the year before.
He was in graduate school, but we lived in a very affluent ward, and one family especially, the Maloufs, were extremely rich.
Well, he got their name in his stack of names to call and he saw they had donated 10,000 the year before and thought to himself, "NO WAY, am I gonna ask them to double that", but he did call them, and they gave another 10,000.
They must REALLY be sucking air for money because the stories I hear are constantly about their begging the members for money.
They should just get a revelation stating that from that this prophet on, since only what the current one says counts, tithing will now be 20%, or at a bare minimum 15.
