I guess having $32 billion in the U.S. stock market isn't being rich. Or building multi-billion dollar malls and million dollar condos. Or owning 3% of the landmass of Florida. How do you say this stuff with a straight face??? LMAO!Vice President Mohadi had made a specific request for support with the development of clean-water wells in more remote areas of Zimbabwe.

A billion dollars does not go as far as it use to.

Re: Elder Neil L. Andersen: "We are not a rich people"
Oh, I think elder Anderson was being quite honest. If you average out the income of all the members of the church, we're probably not a wealthy people. A very wealthy church, yes, but not a wealthy people overall.
And you can bet that the church isn't going to pay for those clean, fresh water wells that are needed. No sir.
The church is just going to funnel the members money to wherever it needs to go. They'll probably ask for a special donation to help cover the cost. But the church most definitely won't be dipping into their own pockets to make improvements in someone else's country.
That's your job as a charitable Christian...

I think he is referring to the people in general and not the corporation sole RMN.

Which still doesn't mean anything. The special fund for the Tsunami victims went directly into the general fund (at least in England where they had to report it).

Yep. That fine print on the donation slips says they can use your donation for whatever purpose they want. As soon as it's donated, it's their money. So if they decide they have enough to do whatever makes them look good, they can use any overruns to redecorate or build a new real estate development in Florida. I am SO glad I don't give to these guys anymore...so glad.

Next time when confronted with a similar question, Elder Anderson could be prepared with this response:

Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

So I heard that in African countries they try not to give the impression of wealth so members aren't kidnapped and held for ransom. That is why the African temples aren't as ornate as other temples. Maybe Anderson was just playing towards that?
But it's a lie either way.

Re: Elder Neil L. Andersen: "We are not a rich people"
I love how they don't bother to name anyone in the picture captions except Anderson and the Vice Pres. The article says Anderson's wife Kathy was with him and so were Elder Joseph W. Sitati, 1st Counselor in the Africa Southeast Area Presidency, and his wife Sister Gladys Sitati. But they fail to name them in any of the picture captions.
Really stellar journalism Church Newsroom
I think Sister Sitati's face says it all.
