Many years ago an old friend sucked me into the Mormon church and I became a member shortly after. They run a neat operation "The Mormons" (Church of Jesus Christ the latter day saints)
It didn't take me long to realize that there beliefs were questionable at the very least. No matter how they might appear, they are as money hungry as any well run business.
But then there was one particular thing that helped me make my mind up to leave.
I was in some financial stress one week, and I called the current Bishop of the stake (Church) I was in. Talking to him, he was very defensive before I even got around to asking for help. So I told him that I was in trouble and just needed some food for a few days, to which he replied
"Have you paid your tithing."
I was shocked, "No" I said.
He immediately contested, and asked me for a history of my spending.
I was shocked again, "Is this how Jesus would treat me?" I replied.
He didn't even care.
So I hung up,and repented of that church.
Mormons may look moral on the outside, but really they are love bombers who want your money.
