again, the cost of which has neither been included or excluded from the amount you have assumed, nor has that amount been proven to actually be distributed in the manner by which Drift admittedly "assumes"...which in this context, is another word for "i guess".


Nope, travel and subsistence is listed separately.
So yes, it's 100% salary.

yet your OP clearly states...
"- which I think is almost exclusively Mission President salaries." (emphasis mine)

so, now we have "which i think is almost" graduated up to "So yes, its 100% salary"

understandably, i am skeptical of not only your motivations but also your sincerity.

Perhaps now is a good time to ask for your OP references/links, yes?

Fill your boots.

And also...

Who else receives a salary out of tithing funds who is classed as working in the area of 'missionary work'?

Subgenius doesn't know because he lacked the moral character to serve a mission, as commanded by the Lord and his most high inquisitor, the President of the Corporation of the COJCOLDS.

sure need 'em to wade through your posts

your OP does not say salary....you stated "for staff"...and barring you actually posting the references for your OP, we can all just assume you omitted the costs associated for car leases, and not to mention that the MTC has volunteers and employees

So, now that we have established that MTC teachers are among the "staff related" we can forgo the formality of you actually conceding this point, surely you must be tired from having to do it so often.

You are quite correct.
My OP says 'wages' which most people would recognise as similar in an identical way as 'salary'.

Anymore hairs you'd like to split?

just this one
"staff related to 'missionary work' - which I think is almost exclusively Mission President salaries."

and it turns out that it is not "exclusively", is it?
