So I spent some time with the TBM in-laws recently and spied a copy of the Church News. I didn't want to actually open it so I just had a look at the back cover. It was a thinly veiled demand for money.
The "article" was about the building of the temple of Solomon or a Tabernacle or some other building in the Old Testament. The people were tasked with donating their resources and their talents to make it truly worthy of God. Well of course the people were so generous with their giving that they had to turn much of it away. That's where I stopped reading. I recognized it as a plea for money and then more money after that. If the ancients could be that generous then the current saints should be too. "Give us more then give us more!"
The obvious problem is that the Mormon church already has such a surplus of money that they are building a four billion dollar mall. Yet when have you ever hear TSCC say "Enough, don't give us any more"?
Stupid cult.
