Utah Makes Welfare So Hard to Get, Some Feel They Must Join the LDS Church to Get Aid
Utah’s safety net for the poor is so intertwined with the LDS Church that individual bishops often decide who receives assistance. Some deny help unless a person goes to services or gets baptized.
Literally the point.
This is how Mormons operate. There is no give without at least guilt. They record tithings. They will use this against you. They think this is acceptable.
Let's be real, Utah is a True, Western Theocracy.
Part of the plan.
The first option when you call Utah's unemployment hotline is, "Press 1 to Report Fraud." And I literally had Department of Workforce staff recommend Mormon-only resources, such as "The Bishop's Pantry" where they have the "good milk/bread, etc..."
Big church forced dependency as a mechanism of control . We must destroy these evil institutions
That is a feature not a bug
The purpose of a system is what it does
What an insanely evil looking building.. Just sayin
LDS is just wild and they are growing so fast.
Doubt those numbers with all your might mind and strength. That is a PR spin from the church. Their census cannot be trusted or independently verified. They are losing the younger generation big time.
Indeed they have a membership retention crisis especially among young men. They've had to merge congregations together and are definitely lying. In order to get yourself off the membership roles and stop getting hounded by the Mormon Church's IRS you literally have to get a lawyer to file paperwork on your behalf. Yes it's really that bad the website is called to quitmormon.com I believe
My wife is still counted as a member and hasn't had anything to do with them in 15 years.
That probably isn't true where I live (not in Utah). Here, there is an LDS church seemingly on every street corner. It's crazy. See a church, go 1 mile south and see another, go 1 mile east, see another, etc. It's really spooky because more often than not, an LDS church is right next to a very wealthy neighborhood.
How can they afford so many buildings and property? Is it a front for money laundering or something?
Working as intended.
