I grew up Mormon. No Mormon I’ve talked to has any problem with the church holding onto this money. They’ll say “well of course, it’s for when the temple is built in Independence, Missouri and we’re all called to live in the Promised Land under the Law of Consecration.” I fell on tough times a few years back and my local Bishop insisted I take some aid, they gave me food for a few months from “The Bishop’s Storehouse”, basically a food bank for members. This is despite me being an inactive Mormon for twenty years or so. They care a lot about their members, even the ones who aren’t going to church. Mormons are very clear about how they think things are going. What’s funny is the concern people outside the church have with all this.
