A German television reporter had a chance to interview LDS President Gordon B. Hinckley., In Winter of 2002, prior to the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics
REPORTER:
YES. ANOTHER CRITICS ABOUT FINANCES, I READ IN DIFFERENT MAGAZINES THE RUMOR THAT YOUR CHURCH IS VERY WEALTHY, AND I'D LIKE THE NUMBER OF 30 MILL…BILLION DOLLARS, US DOLLARS, WHAT DO YOU RESPOND?
HINCKLEY:
THAT'S SOMEBODY'S GUESS. THAT'S JUST A WILD GUESS. WELL, THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS, THIS, YES…IF YOU COUNT ALL OF OUR ASSETS, YES, WE ARE WELL-OFF. BUT THOSE ASSETS, YOU HAVE TO KNOW THIS, ARE NOT MONEY-PRODUCING. THOSE ASSETS ARE MONEY-CONSUMING. THOSE ASSETS, INCLUDING MEETING HOUSES, CHURCHES, THOUSANDS OF THEM ACROSS THE WORLD, THEY INCLUDE TEMPLES, THEY INCLUDE UNIVERSITIES, THEY INCLUDE WELFARE PROJECTS, THEY INCLUDE EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES, THEY INCLUDE ALL THE MISSIONARY WORK, THEY INCLUDE HUMANITARIAN WORK, THEY INCLUDE ALL THESE THINGS WHICH USE MONEY. WHICH DON'T PRODUCE MONEY. THE CHURCH IS…THE INCOME OF THE CHURCH COMES FROM THE CONSECRATIONS OF THE PEOPLE, WHO TITHE THEMSELVES, PAY THEIR TITEHS, THE ANCIENT LAW OF THE TITHE IS THE CHURCH'S LAW OF THE MANSE. AND THAT'S WHERE THE MONEY COMES WHICH OPERATES THE CHURCH. IF YOU LOOK AT OUR BALANCE SHEET, THAT SHOWS ALL THE FACILITIES THAT WE HAVE, AND THE PROGRAMS WE CARRY, WE APPEAR VERY WEALTHY. BUT YOU MUST REALIZE THAT ALL OF THOSE PROGRAMS CONSUME MONEY, THEY DON'T PRODUCE IT. THAT THE MONEY WHICH WE USE COMES FROM THE CONSECRATIONS OF THE PEOPLE.
So Here Is The Lie . They seem to have income producing assets , how else can they spend $1.5 billion without using Tithe funds ?
If anyone knows different please tell me !
From DeseretNews.Com February 4th 2007
Over the next five years, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' estimated $1.5 billion City Creek Center project in downtown Salt Lake City will add five new residential towers to the skyline, with about 430 new residential housing units.
From Ensign Magazine December 2006 p79
The Church first announced three years ago it was planning to redevelop the downtown area to energize the economy of the city that houses its headquarters and to bolster the area near Temple Square. No Tithing funds will be used in the redevelopment .
THE LIE ...... Gordon Hinckley says the churches's assets are money consuming , so where does the estimated $1.5 billion Dollars come from ?
Answer........ From Church Investments . So they have money producing assets also !

Dude, they get more from investment funds than tithings/fast offerings put together.
EJ, The LDS Church doesn't only have tything funds. Many projects are funded using money from wealthy donors. One such project was the Navuoo temple.

I am not a Mormon. I am one of those radical Methodists. I understand loyalties but if you cannot listen or seek information with an open mind how can you make an informed decision? You cannot get too much info on religion or politics. There is a bumper sticker..."How do democrats stand up to terrorists when they can't even face Fox News?" it should say progressives and socialists, there are plenty of good Democrats around. You need to inform yourselves, don't be lemmings. As for Mormons, I find, they believe by faith, they do good works because they have faith not instead of faith. Jesus taught good works by example. I find there hasn't been a "true" religion since Jesus died. They are all run by mere mortals, subject to their interpretation. The Bible's books were hand picked, and plenty of books were probably left out to further an agenda of the time. So far as those books were translated correrctly and not edited, the Bible is what we have to work with today. Now enter the Book of Mormon, written on plates of metal revealed to a young man after years of preparation.("this year? Nope, you're too young.") A history of group American Indians with DNA from the area of Israel. Not mtDNA haplogroup X, but a subclave group of haplogroup X, "subhaplogroup X2" discovered later. What seems to be wrong is the geography, they are not Mayan they are Great Lakes Indians. Which would make America the promised Land. bookofmormonevidence.org We cannot hold geography against anyone, I believe there is discrepency regarding where the tomb of Jesus is. Be informed, don't just listen to one side. Our learning curve changes, or we would still believe the earth is flat.
