Letter: In lieu of tithing, leave charitable contributions in hands of the faithful

(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Temple square in Salt Lake City on January 12, 2018.

The LDS Church can now fund everything they are currently doing for the next 30 years without taking in another cent. This makes them leaders in the “money collectors” gang — along with Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk and multimillionaire CEOs.

They have it, sitting in accounts and other assets, so others don’t.

If the LDS Church truly wanted to model what they preach, they would immediately cease collecting tithing and, in its stead, direct their faithful to continue charitable contributions to other worthy causes. Imagine the impact! That would be what Jesus would want, right?
