Back in the Nauvoo days, people used to work on the temple one day out of ten as a tithe. If someone were to volunteer to work every other Saturday for eight hours as a custodian, that should pretty much cover their tithing payment, wouldn't it? The ward gets as many custodians as they need who are willing to work like that, and the Church pays for it 100%. The money doesn't leave the ward, and there's no need for any accounting. They are full-tithe payers. It seems to me that other callings could also work like this as well, such as an organist.

I don't see how Mormon high command could keep wards from doing this.

I like the idea. But I still don't want to clean the building.

I think this could be a way for Mormons at the local level to pay for needed services. I've held stake callings, and I know the kind of funny business that goes on behind the scenes. I'd be surprised if some wards weren't doing this already.

Keep in mind that people owe the morg NEITHER free labor NOR tithes.

SLC simply cannot claim any further authority based on a fictional book.

Members who realize that generally give the morg only the spiritual finger, nothing else.
