...pay their tithing." -Russell M. Nelson

hell!! What a bastard.

Many African countries are exhausted.
The last thing they need is the Mormon church.

Shame on him.

wow.....

How has the mainstream press missed that?

I thought that the most common reason for poverty to continue from one generation to another is due to teenage pregnancy and women not completing their education to have children.

Hmmm. This also sounds very Mormon.

Nelson should look at this list:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lowest-income_counties_in_the_United_States

The top 100 poorest counties in the US includes 3 in Utah (Iron, Sanpete, and San Juan). They're all also considered "persistent poverty" counties by the US Census bureau. And all 3 are chock-full o' tithe payers.

Oops.

Maybe, just maybe, something other than tithing (or lack thereof) is at work? Hmm?

Also, Madison County, ID (Rexburg) and Clark County, ID.

Makes perfect sense, jesus christ no wonder i was so lost in that religion.

Do you suppose that those who are duped into into paying tithes hustle and work harder and....sometimes...have a little more left over after tithing?

If this theory is true, however, it also means that they are worked to the bone to support "The Church" and instead of true family happiness, they must"endure to the end"?

Nelson is a man of extreme privilege who has clearly learned very little in his more than nine decades on this earth. He has no humility, no understanding, no compassion, no empathy and no shame. It's a pity that his words don't make him feel embarrassed.

Reminds me of televangelists trying to weasel the last dollar away from some poor widow.... honestly, if I weren’t already resigned, this would probably do it.

I pray that someone KNOCKS his head off! The Mormons
never stop degrading people. Blaming people. Defining
people. Humiliating people. Shunning people. Scamming
people. Manipulating people. Conning people.

If everyone was "Tithing" all the years of the 70s and
80's and 90's they would be FILTHY RICH? Is that what
he is saying?

I wish the Mormons would BUYOUT the PT BARNUM Circus in
Florida that quit finally last year. It would make a mint
in Utah and other crazy places like Africa.

"Kick 'em while they're down" Nelson is nearly as selfish and mean as his wife. Disgusting little man.

... The rich get richer,
and the poor get pregnant.
