Mootman and Praydude are right.
Mormonism is all a big scam. Things don't make sense, because TSCC is lying, and hiding its financials and membership numbers. They are also lying about their motives. D'ya reeeealy think LDS, Inc. is about saving souls. D'ya really think the leaders and contractors believe this?
Look at the land underneath the temples. That's where the money is! The buildings are shoddily maintained by the MEMBERS--slave-labor janitors and landscapers. Older construction workers are called on "work missions." A TBM neighbor, who is a retired contractor, has served work missions in Hawaii, Samoa, and Tonga, and I don't know the last place. He would take his strong sons along with him, for a year or so, or for a summer. FREE LABOR.
Look at the location of the land--prime view lots in the best residential areas. We live near three of those "stake houses", where real estate is at a premium. There one diminishing ward per "stake house." These stake houses will never go, because of the value of the land. They have enormous parking lots--more land, less maintenance. Our old ward has members driving up from lower Holladay and Midvale, near State Street. TSCC claims that these people's ward is "closed for rennovation." It's on land that is not as valuable. The members have to drive about 5 miles up the mountain, to attend the view-lot wards. They don't live anywhere near the ward.
I don't think the cult really needs tithing money all that much--it needs free labor to maintain its real estate holdings. Africa, to them, is a wealth of free labor. The cult's other businesses are supporting the leaders just fine.
Maybe a McTemple build by GA relatives and maintained by members is as cheap as advertising--plus, they cult gets the land TAX-FREE. The building is a write-off. My SIL was offered a job with McConkie-Whatever law firm, that works for LDS,Inc., and he refused, because of ethical differences.
My son says that the Mormon cult is a "regime." Each temple-with-parking-lot is like a little Mormon-ruled island, like an embassy, in all of the countries. Their motives are money, power, arrogance, ego, and to show-off. LOL--Mormons complain about the gawdy architecture, and how temples stand out like a blight on the land, and never seek to blend with the surrounding landscape or culture. That's not the point. TSCC wants to show-off! They want world domination!
I, too, and hoping the Mormon cult will overextend themselves. They do seem to be overstepping their bounds, the way they are treating the Africans. I don't think Mormons will get away with slave labor over there--you wouldn't think--but they have gotten away with polygamy and murder in the past....
