Are you aware of the amount of charitable giving of the mormon church?
Jesus said "Feed my sheep" not "build up billions in profits for the mormon corporation." The mormon church is a business for profit...period!
Zero Point Two Percent Ostling (Mormon America) compared the Mormon Church to the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA). They had a similar number of reported members in 1997. At that time, the ELCA had $152 Million in assets that was primarily the pension fund for the employees.
This is compared to the assets of the Mormon Church as reported above. In 1997 the ELCA raised $11.8 Million for humanitarian aid and $3.64 Million for disaster relief for a total of 15.44 Million in cash donations for charity.
In the 14 year period from 1984 – 1997 the Mormon Church reported cash donations for non-Mormon charity at $30.7 Million, or an average of 2.19 Million per year to the Ostlings. This translates to ELCA donating a little over 10% of its holdings in 1997 and the Mormon Church donating approximately .2% of its holdings.
Most businesses in the United States have higher percentage charitable contributions than does the Mormon Church.
And? You want to force them somehow to comply with your idea of charity? How much does the Roman Catholic Church, the UMC, the Unitarians, COGIC, the Cowboy Churches, 7th Day or the Greek Orthodox give to people not of their faith? And secondly, how is it my business, or yours? The old sayings “mind your own business” and “stick to your knitting” have a lot of wisdom built into them.
