Mormon Church Tithe Income Is $7 Billion A year

Here is a link to a news article claiming that analysis shows that the Mormon church receives 7 Billion dollars a year in tithe income from members!

Can you imagine if the UPC had that amount to spend on Missions and local churches????

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"

No...bigger churches and salaries since many of the pastors believe the tithe belongs to them.

I don't contribute to the UPC so in some ways it is none of my business how the money is spent, unless it is squandered so badly on salaries and perks for elite officials that hardly anything trickles down to those who are actually in the field trying to save souls. Then perhaps their sloppy finances should be checked and their tax exempt status rescinded.

IMO, tax exempt status for churches and church organizations is government support for and establishment of religion.
