Not that I’m trying to dispute how you feel, but yes the church does have an independent audit done every year. And they have caught stuff that is usually due to somebody down the line at the local levels.

I thought those were jelly beans. I wanted the purple one cause it’s blue and red together.

I’m not completely confident in the independence of the auditors. Beyond that, the general membership is not privy to the details of the church’s assets and expenditures. I think donors to an organization have a right to know how that money is used. Right now, there’s no way for them to find out. Why all the secrecy?

Hi, Just a guy from Hungary! Here in Hungary we got that far that we can distinguish the Mormons from Latter-Day Saints. Please be an example to me and do the same. As a Latter-Day Saint I know that this Church is true because I read the words of Apostle Paul. II. Corinthians 4:17-18; 7:9-10. Only those who think that they are without sin can be so foolish to say that the Book of Mormon is not true. I am just a simple guy who was converted from a different faith. I was studying out many religious teachings. Conclusion: What Apostle Paul has written down is true. I love you all and thank you for your comments whether it being good or negative.

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.… Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

I have met many people who believe in their own sinfulness yet do not recognize the truth of the Book of Mormon, meaning that they don’t recognize it as the word of God.

I realize that you believe in Mormonism based on faith (which all our beliefs are based on to one degree or another), but you have asserted that these verses speak the truth. Why do you believe that they are true?

It’s time for the two year temple recommend. Please make an appointment with your local bishop and post your honest answers. I was surprised that in two years I have mellowed and answered them a hint more openly with less anger.

The executive secretary will schedule the appointment by the way.
