I fully expect Cowboy and his wife to end up as missionaries down there are some point."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

The business side is all dressed up with nowhere to go. Imagine being the CEO of AG,Reserves Inc. and making only 350K and year driving around in your Avalon to avoid the appearance of evil. I hope they pay the dudes on horseback well, because there's not a lot of room for corporate jets and fresh flowers everyday.Originally posted by RC Vikings View PostThat must be the religious side that relies on tithing dollars and helps the poor, the business side that buys land and malls must be loaded.

Half a billion dollars..."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

With this purchase, however, it looks like they will be #1 (again?)."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

The stock market is up so I am guessing that '71 signed over some stock as a nice gift in kind.Originally posted by Sullyute View PostSo much for the church being low on funds. Sounds like they are doing quite well."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

How 71 pays on his "increase" is between him and the Lord.Originally posted by Moliere View Posthopefully he's not paying tithing on unrealized gains"If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

The Church is also the primary donor for the recently announced $100M expansion to the Huntsman Cancer Institute.Originally posted by Sullyute View PostSo much for the church being low on funds.

Well that may be one reason that Oaks' reply was so curt, he had pressing real estate deals to worry about. I wonder what percentage of the Q15's week is spent on the secular vs the spiritual side of the Church (and maye at that level they don't see a difference)?Originally posted by pellegrino View PostI think they are.
