Ninety-nine percent of the LDS churches leaders, in any capacity, are independently wealthy. They have to be: The LDS church does NOT pay them a salary.

First of all, the Lds general authorities DO get a salary from the Lds church.

Secondly, bishops in the Lds church, while not getting a salary, somehow manage to accrue expense accounts and stipends that amounted for some to be $40,000 in the early 1990s. (What is it now? $60,000?)

And yes, that's a second "job" on top of their first. If somebody wants to reimburse my living expenses to the tune of up to $60,000 as a "second" job, let me know to where to "sign up."

As for the rather common claim that there people are not payed..

do not set your self up to high.. My father was a Deacon in the Church of Christ (not lds) was not paid. He even fulfilled the Biblical requirements of the title unlike 12 year old boys of the lds.

See 1 Timothy 3:8–13 if you are confused by last statement.

Dude, lying about bishops is going to make you look even more ridiculous than you already do with your big ten foot axe to grind. I have had complete and detailed access to finances of many wards, both currently and during the 80s and 90s, and bishops don’t get paid squat. As to “expenses”, all the ones I’ve seen (and that’s quite a few) end up not taking the few hundred dollars a year they might be entitled to for buying food for socials and such.

If you insist on spending all that effort to be anti, you’ll be more effective staying in the religious opinion area.
