Quoting Brigham Young, James Huntsman sues LDS Church, seeks to recover millions in tithing
Federal fraud case — which quotes Brigham Young — claims Utah-based faith misled members to solicit money for charitable work but instead used it for commercial purposes, points to $100 billion reserve fund.
James Huntsman, a brother of former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, is accusing The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints of fraud and has sued to recover millions of dollars in tithing.
In a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday, the California resident alleges the global church has “repeatedly and publicly lied” about the use of billions of dollars in member donations solicited to pay for missionary work, building temples and other educational and charitable work.
“Behind the scenes, however, rather than using tithing funds for the promised purposes, the LDS Corporation secretly lined its own pockets by using the funds to develop a multibillion-dollar commercial real estate and insurance empire that had nothing to do with charity,” alleges the suit filed in U.S District Court in California.
“[T]his is not a case about faith,” the lawsuit states, “it is a case about fraud and corporate greed.”
The suit, first reported by The Washington Post, asserts that “the LDS Corporation,” as it refers to the church, defrauded Huntsman out of millions in tithing with misleading statements and seeks the return of those donations, totaling at least $5 million, instead “to benefit organizations and communities whose members have been marginalized by the church’s teachings and doctrines, including by donating to charities supporting LGBTQ, African American, and women’s rights.”
The lawsuit takes specific aim at allegations that a reported $100 billion Latter-day Saint investment fund built on member donations had paid out up to $2 billion at one point to back financially troubled church businesses, including City Creek Center, the upscale shopping mall in downtown Salt Lake City.
Church officials swiftly discounted the allegations Tuesday as “baseless.” They disclosed Tuesday in a written statement that Huntsman had resigned his church membership last year and was now “demanding through his lawyers that tithing he paid to the church as charitable contributions be returned to him.”
Spokesperson Eric Hawkins also repeated assurances from past church President Gordon B. Hinckley, made in 2003, that “tithing was not used on the City Creek project.”

Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

Most of the similes I can come up with for this "endorsement" involve the words "fellate" and "constituents." So, I'll just let this one ______."Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action. His actions are supposed to reflect his ethical code.
The rest of us rarely bother to think about our actions." --SolonComment
