I think this text is dated. Hasn't the morg said they are going to use the money as they please?

Do the new tithing slips have a category for building shopping malls ?

FYI - when the morg changed it's acctg rules and system in October 2010 the donation procedure for disaster relief changed too - the $ you donate to humanitarian aid will only be used in the country where you reside unless you specify international disaster relief for a specific disaster oversees (Haiti's earthquake, etc.).

So american sheeple who donate and think their $ is going oversees are actually donating to help disaster victims in the US. It was never announced, but those of that were clerks got it in email from COB as part of the acctg system roll-out.

As if people in Haiti have the means and money to help their country rebuild.

They have neat tents now - who could ask for anything more?

pretty much eliminates any possibility for humanitarian aid unless you're really wealthy.

It's from 2008

the mosy recent tithing slip (IIRC) says 'you can tick any boxes you want, but we are gonna use it however we like' (paraphrased)

[edit] - actual wording
"Though reasonable efforts will be made globally to use donations as designated, all donations become the Church's property and will be used at the Church's sole discretion to further the Church's overall mission."

Would someone who knows, like to send them a comment? The last one (written by the "guide") says

"Thanks, Tracy, that’s a great clarification to make as it’s important to know that all donations go to where they were meant to go."
