Bednar has said they are not a humanitarian organization. I don't know how he can say this outloud when you consider Jesus's opinion regarding money. They don't trust anyone, not even their own members and the majority of the leaders. Elder Packer about had a stroke when the finance division wouldn't give him financial information. They claim it is for a rainy day fund which a world wide pandemic dosen't qualify. Apparently when Jesus comes back he needs that money?yellowstone123 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 11:07 pmI always thought LDS temples were the greatest waste of money. A super tent, made with super material could be used, divided especially in the spring, summer and fall. The money not spent would help people and bring great happiness.
Let's take $290,000,000.00 spent on the Kirkland Temple. How many MRI or CT machines could be bought for that money. Just $ 300,000,000 per year for many machines though out the world could help catch a cancer in stage 1 and 2 instead of stage 3 and 4. Can people understand what this church can do with the money.
But old white guys keep choosing old white guys as replacements who will only buy real estate. The comparison to their donations to charity and what they buy in real estate is pale in comparison.
I have highlighted many aspects of our humanitarian outreach efforts around the world. Please remember, however, that we are not primarily a humanitarian organization. We are the Church of Jesus Christ, reestablished or restored upon the earth in the latter days in preparation for the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. We do all of these things because as His disciples we love Him and want to follow His example in our lives.
