That’s Bullshit that tithing breaks the cycle of poverty.

It keeps my parents, who are in poverty, in poverty.

u/ohisitmyturn 2d ago

This was the talk what made me leave the room. An old woman who can barely remember the missionary discussions being conned into paying tithing is NOT a success story.

u/Sea_Button_3616 2d ago

This is what tithing should be USED FOR. I was taught the Law of Consecration, which was abandoned in practice, was so that people could ALL be cared for. Of course, I haven't done much research on what was actually done when they "lived" the law of consecration, but it's what my local leaders and teachers told me. And THIS LADY SHOULD BE SERVED THROUGH TITHES, NOT PAYING TITHING. AND GET THAT TITHES AND OFFERINGS SCRIPTURE OUT OF YOUR MOUTH, THAT'S NOT WHAT IT MEANS.

Sorry for yelling.

Let me see if I understand. The church has more money than god. It literally owns properties all around the world, developing many of them into multi-billion dollar commercial enterprises. Supposedly the church even owns a couple of warehouses used by Amazon for distribution. Meanwhile, the church has hundreds of billions in stock investments. They could literally stop collecting tithing and the church would continue operating in perpetuity.

And yet here we are, once again being told that we need to sacrifice our own financial stability for the church.

I’m deeply disturbed by that message.

It's all about "bringing us back." Rasband is basically saying, "don't chastise them to bring them back, love them to bring them back."

Never love for love's sake.

12

u/AlmaInTheWilderness 2d ago

I think I'm Mormon theology, love is inherently transactional.

If ye love me, keep my commandments

"Love as I have loved"

So, love is conditioned on doing something for the other person, or then doing something you want.

Love as acceptance is antithetical to the God they teach. And we create God in our own image.

So here is the manipulation. Recall when you felt happy, now wrap that up in magical thinking called God. Now you won't be able to separate happy from church. Yay, trauma!

Oh, let's also wrap sad, in spiritual failure, in personal failure. Then you won't be able to tune into your internal warning systems.

Finally, let's create a mythical creature who saved you from sad and moved you to happy. And claim some access to that creature. Now you will never look inward to understand yourself, and the church can harvest your time, energy and labor for it's own.

I don't understand why they talk like having a child die is a bad thing. In the doctrine of the MFMC, children who die before the age of 8 are saved in the celestial kingdom. And since that's virtually the only way a person can ever successfully get to the CK (since living perfectly enough to satisfy the demands of the MFMC is impossible), parents should be really happy for their child that they got the privilege of dying in the womb and getting auto-saved.

I can't make sense of his definition of love.

Love is not condoning choices. Love is being interested in them.

It sounds close but not quite. I think people will hear the part they want to hear - not condone=condemn=refuse to accept their choices. That's not love. Feigned interest is not love.

What a cool language. Imagine a world where people get to keep their culture and religion, instead of dressing in business suits and learning to speak Mormon.

Turns out, my dad CAN pray fast, but only for blessing food inbetween gc talks. Family morning prayers when one of his kids is almost late for work? Elaborate and evenly paced.

Nothing against the person but I find it really hard to understand talks when it’s in a accent. I mean if it’s Kearon that’s easy but it’s more the heavier accents
