Try speaking truths below in anti-free speech lds church & then you’ll know what being treated like s - t is really like. Or how about being poor with starving children & yet pressured by the church into giving your food money to the greedy church???
The following video shows examples of LDS leaders telling the poor to pay them MONEY over feeding their children. They - and those who follow them - WILL be held accountable.

Lol “All the thinking has been done FOR you”, right?
These men are so much smarter than God - so trust in them, right?
You can, but not me! My trust is in God, which has, especially in cases of MONEY, shown to lead in a more godly direction than the church leaders’ desire$$$. I’m not about to choose them over God. But you can - it’s your free agency.
Lds church financial corruption is undeniable.
1) They warped scripture to get more money (tithes are supposed to be based on increase not income).
2) They take from the poor by demanding based on income when the poor have no increase left.
3) They disobey the law of tithing (Deut 14:28-29 - which is not taught in curriculum about tithing) - which states that at least 1/3 of tithes are supposed to be given to the poor.
4) Finances are kept secret except Oaks admitted no tithes go to the poor.
5) They use the temple to make money - charging for worthiness. This type of thing is the only time on record when Jesus expressed anger.
“There must needs be opposition in all things” - including the church. I love the amazing sense of community and encouragement in being better people. There are 2 main harmful evils that have crept into the church. One is cult-mentality - like considering leaders infallible and looking more to them than to Christ. The other is how finances are handled.
Financial corruption (which contributes to debt, bankruptcy, poverty and related suffering) is undeniable. Changing scripture from what it states (increase) to mean “income” to get more money, is not of Christ. The reason God commanded tithe be based on increase is shown in the following example:
- 2 men earn the exact same income amount.
1 man is the sole provider of a family of 7 and after paying bills has no increase left.
2nd man lives with his parents who pay all his bills, so all of his income is increase.
Yet, the church demand$ the $ame amount from each man - thereby causing the 1st family to be poor. Christ was about alleviating poverty and suffering - not causing more.
While we are often pressured and shamed into giving “honest tithes,” church leaders keep money dark and secret, though Oaks did admit no tithes go to the poor. Funds intended for the poor go to the corporate empire of mormon leaders and we have no clue or say in how it’s spent. We do know the church had some elaborate malls built, and a list of greedy wordly companies using the name of Jesus Christ in vain. And church leaders got caught hoarding billions of dollars while breaking nonprofit tax-exempt laws by not sharing donations. Meanwhile, almost 1,000,000,000 of our brothers and sisters are starving. Who do TITHES belong to? God. And how do we love God? By loving the least of these.
Grand ribon-cutting opening for another mall (at least 2 now) built using the name of Jesus Christ...
Even if you designated fast offerings - the church leaders now say it’s their money and they can use it as they want...
