"...those in positions of power can’t help but help themselves to the help."

Any Mormon leaders guilty of this? I KNOW they are guilty of hypocrisy ala thinking they are better than other Mormons in their hierarchy of power AKA priesthood.

Any good examples of Mormons rising up and having themselves help themselves to "church help"?? Any graft going on with regards to the City Creek fiasco er, I mean Mall? Any dalliances in helping themselves to planes like Huntsman's private jet? etc. etc. etc.

Not to that extent, but I had a bishop who would order an additional copy of

every manual, etc. ordered once yearly and padded his private bookcase at home with them "just in case." When the BP was released, he showed up at the church library. with numerous boxes of materials.

One year he had an entire order of materials stolen out of the back of his car prior to being transporting them to church. Don't ask me why someone would steal R.S. and PH manuals, but it happened.
