Only 4.1%? I would have guessed much higher."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

A more interesting discussion might be how local bishops used to receive compensation.We all trust our own unorthodoxies.Comment

As described in the d&c no less. When I was first in a bishopric I pointed out those verses as a joke and asked how much we'd be getting. My SP was not amused, ignoring my comment, which I think he took as a serious question.Originally posted by Sleeping in EQ View PostPLesa excuse the tpyos.Comment

Both Bishops and Stake Presidents were paid. My memory may serve me incorrectly, but bishops got five percent and stake presidents got ten percent of the tithes, but that is in all likelihood incorrect.Originally posted by creekster View Post"Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

It would provide the SJW believers another issue to spend time pulling string about. Instead of it being women and the priesthood it would be the unfair income inequality that a Bishop in Uganda only pulls in $.16 while some Bishop in Alpine, UT pulls in a bonus in excess of 5 figures.Originally posted by Topper View PostDo Your Damnedest In An Ostentatious Manner All The Time!

I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

It used to be that when you left names of your ancestors at the temple for proxy work, you would leave some cash with each one that would be paid to the person who did the work.

Yep, and male patrons got paid more than female patrons. I think it was $0.75 to $0.50 per name, but I'd have to look in the temple secrecy thread to verify since I think I summarized it in there.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post
Patriarchs also got paid per blessing. Many people in the army church received multiple patriarchal blessings, which some think is due to patriarchs "selling" blessings.

I bet my wife would pay for a second blessing. She is not fond of hers.Originally posted by Moliere View Post
Also, I don't understand how selling blessings would result in more of them. Sure, the patriarch is on board, but why would the average church member pay for second or third blessings? Unless, like my wife, they are dissatisfied with theirs. But I don't see a large number of people falling into that category.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different.
