Re: New Project Shows Church Finance Corruption
Ok, thanks. If you don’t understand annuities you really should step out, because your uneducated cheerleading for your church is just doing damage to your cause. One post that I think deserved a second look is this. They are saving for a pandemic but not this one because it was too much of a financ...

Re: RFM v. Midnight Mormons—Debate
This will be your opportunity to shine. And without anyone else on your side of the stage. This IS your moment. Everything has led up to this. Whether or not you feel/believe that you’ve been taken seriously by your peers in times past…no matter. This is it. Your knowledge. Your expertise. It’s all...

Re: New Project Shows Church Finance Corruption
cryptocurrency? :lol: :lol: :lol: anyway, so it seems I was right. You DON'T understand the concept of annuities. That's ok. :roll: My point is that it is difficult,to predict the state of affairs in a worldwide economy that has become more interconnected. Cryptocurrency may impact the world econom...

Re: New Project Shows Church Finance Corruption
No, it is not relevant. If worldwide operating costs were to be covered by the interest income, then it is irrelevant whether you add up that worldwide budget as areas labeled 60% +40%, or 3% +30% +40% + 27%, or any other combination. The point is that the total budget is more than covered by the i...

Re: The distance between Christianity and the 4 Gospels
You brought it up, so again, please, share your thoughts on abiogenesis. I think you already know. What are your thoughts? I don’t expect to hear much from you. So far you have a very weak track record of actually adding to the discussion. Honestly, I don’t know if you’re worth the time to talk to....

Re: DCP Accuses Dan Vogel of Intending to "damage the Church"
I have no idea what Peterson is talking about. All I can say is I'm only interested in getting the history right and what happens to the church is of no concern of mine. I said as much during my interview with John Dehlin. Not all of my time is spent on controversial topics. I spend a great deal of...

Re: New Project Shows Church Finance Corruption
No, that's not true, it is not a question at all. Even if the lds church took in 0% tithing from 100% of its membership, they would still have enough interest income to cover 100% of their operating costs AND have at least 10billion leftover interest to grow their investment hoard even larger. They...

Re: New Project Shows Church Finance Corruption
An excellent presentation, although I think their estimates of church wealth may be low. According to this well researched website, the church has between USD300 and USD400 in commercial and agricultural real estate. http://www.bidstrup.com/ldsfinances.htm 60% of church membership is outside of the...
