Langstraat,
They have little choice about giving a minimum of 10% of gross earnings - the Mormons make annual audits of each family unit. They've been into money since Joseph Smith found some gold tablets with divine messages to him (in New York) and which nobody else ever saw. Like all other cults, the Mormons invented their own ''Jesus", and Smith's, Book of Mormon is placed ON TOP of the Bible. If you pay enough, you may still be able to get your late grandma and other relatives 'saved'. They also used to be both polygamists and racist (specifically anti negro) but you know, times change and they changed so as not to lose a buck. I've seen them in Africa, the Pacific and they're here too. They've built a massive ''temple'' which undermined several nearby buildings, causing structural problems, but, well, you know, they aren't Mormons, so let 'em suffer, it's because of their sin.
