Of course in your religion, if they don’t cough up 10% of their income, they will not be allowed in the Temples and will be second class Mormons in this life and the next.

And all voluntary of course. Aren't you going to claim that we have to show our W2 like I've seen some say on this forum?

Regardless no one can rob from God and expect to be rewarded for it.

It isn’t voluntary, if they come up short on the cash, then they come up short and are blocked from the Temples, their ID not renewed, and are even relegated to the lower levels of the after life.

The payments are mandatory, or else you are sent down in the ranks, to join the lessor Mormons, both in this life, and in the next.

Pederasts/homosexual abuse of young boys and men is certainly not a new problem for the Catholic church. Read St. Peter Damian’s Book of Gomorrah (written in the thirteenth century).

It isn’t voluntary,

I think I know better than you. Tithing is a choice.

if they come up short on the cash, then they come up short and are blocked from the Temples,

And just exactly how is that figure checked?

The payments are mandatory, or else you are sent down in the ranks, to join the lessor Mormons, both in this life,

Please list these ranks you refer to.

The tithing is only voluntary in the sense that one suffers the penalties that I described, If a Mormon doesn’t pay, then he is doomed to second rate status.

If a Mormon doesn’t pay up, then he cannot get a Temple Recommend, which means he is forbidden to attend the Temples, and he is a second rate Mormon in this life, and in the next.

Like Muslims, Mormons are allowed to lie about their religion, in fact, are instructed to do so in some missionary classes.

"suffers", "doomed"...really? You do enjoy your hyperbole.

"forbidden" dum dum tadummmmmmm!!!! lol

and he is a second rate Mormon in this life, and in the next.

No one knows who is a full tithe payer or who isn't. Unless someone volunteers the information to the Bishop, it's totally confidential and personal. No one knows who attends the temple and who doesn't.

So how exactly does this whole "second rate Mormon" business work?? I've only been a Mormon for 30years and have never seen anything like that...so please, fill me in.

Like Muslims, Mormons are allowed to lie about their religion, in fact, are instructed to do so in some missionary classes.

I was a missionary and was never taught to lie by anyone ever. But I'm curious does the gospel or church you follow teach you to lie about Mormons? What's the instruction on that?
