The Mormon cult also taxes it’s members.

Mormons are required to give 10% of their income to the group, Bishop Mitt Romney has transferred tens of millions to them.

As Bishop, Mitt Romney had the authority to request a Mormons federal tax returns, if he was suspicious that they were holding out on the organization.

you are SO disingenuous, it's sad. It isn't a TAX. Ever heard of tithing? Read the Bible - tithe = one tenth

I am 71. I was raised a Mormon although I am not now a practicing one. Based on what I was taught, this is a total fabrication. Tithe paying in the Mormon Church is on the honor system. You don’t know what you are talking about!

I’ve been LDS all my life & am currently a bishop’s wife. Tithes are COMPLETELY voluntary. They are NEVER verified by the bishop. If you lie to the bishop that will be on your own head, for the Lord will not be mocked. All church members covenant to obey the commandments to the best of their ability, keeping in mind nobody is perfect. As Temple attendance involves making further covenants, only those who are doing a good job with their baptismal covenants are invited to attend. Tithes are just 1 on the list. The Lord rewards ALL obedience.
