If the widow's mite (considered a fast offering and not even a tithe) is required of the Mormon God, it would stand to reason that His legal administrators ought to painstakingly account (and be accountable) for each - and there is no proof whatsoever that they are (but on the contrary).

The differences between the two are of degree, not kind. Okay, what's the repression? A veil worn briefly for symbolic purposes (which I'm guessing you don't understand)? Not seeing it in kind either. Why do you guess that? Sounds like an uninformed guess, Brother Nehor. The "kind" is in ...
