You nailed it, anybody!
I would go saw far as to say that the cult doesn't depend as much on tithing money, as it used to. I don't mean that the Big 15 doesn't love-love-love to get more money from the sheeple--it's just that the LD$ businesses are doing well. LD$ Does depend on free labor, to maintain its real estate properties and work the shams, such as the temples, visitors centers, BYU's, resorts, etc. we know that missionaries and senior missionaries are used as teachers, computer experts, Lawyers, ticket-punchers, money-changers, office workers, builders, laborers. Converting third world members and immigrating them to the USA is a calculated move for the LD$ business conglomerate.
LDS is always going for the numbers.
Ha-ha! When has LD$ ever been truly attached to any concrete principle? In the cult, doctrine is unimportant.
Mormons will continue to be in the dark, not knowing who or what God and Christ and The Holy Ghost are, if the BOM is true or not and if it came from golden plates or a seer stone, or why God chose a con-man son of a con-man and adulterous criminal to be Gos's holy prophet, and keep secrets such as the temple rituals for the dead and secret handshakes.
I see Mormonism moving farther and farther away from Christ and charitable love for mankind. The cult will attempt to promote itself as "Christian" to win political favor.
Already, we see less and less mention of (ridiculous and ever-changing) doctrines. I think the leaders want these lies to just fade away, with the death of those older members who still remember the ban on Blacks, and the old lessons about the Curse of Cain, polygamy, MMM, the shootout at Carthage Jail, Brigham Young's autrocities, and many other infamous historical events in Mormonism's last.
The cult has burned the evidence--my ancestors' journals included, and "Old Mormonism" will die.
"New Mormonism" will be just as full of lies and threats and PR-hype. Whatever it takes to keep the businesses tax-free, and the MONEY coming in. Ugh.
