This is a real sore spot with me. How can my fellow Mormons continue to spout this nonsense about an unpaid clergy when the guys at the top are making their entire living off of us?

very good points made here.

@NaDopros This dynasty keeps growing. It's "families forever" if you're lucky enough to have the right last name.

As an aside, I just could no longer "raise my arm to the square" and SUSTAIN some fifteen top (corporate) leader dogs, anymore! I say fifteen (15) because even dingleberry Monson is still an apostle, as well as his two counselors (i.e., they are not released from that office of the priesthood, when they are pulled from the Quorum of the Twelve, in order to form The First Presency): so, instead of "The Twelve Apostles", there are actually FIFTEEN of them, in the Mormon Crutch...

As an ADDENDUM to my comments about the Mormon-temple Endowment Ceremony, the Protestant Minister "preached for money" (which the New Testament decries, calling it "filthy lucre"). One only has to read the Bible carefully, in order to know that even the apostle Paul earned his own way (as a tentmaker), instead of receiving filthy lucre, for preaching The Gospel.

(I don't think that Monson and Others get their "stipend" as payment for preaching the gospel: they are just paid administrators).

I, MYSELF, actually enjoyed that part of The (Temple) Ceremony of The Endowment", back when the "Protestant Minister" was part of the "film" that was shown. I remember, back in the late 1960s, when all of the temples were being re-done, inside, in order to accommodate a motorized movie screen, which scrolled down, as it were, from the ceiling.

This was when GORDON JUMP was a young Mormon actor (who played "Peter", in the Endowment): even that Protestant Minister was LDS & from Spanish Fark...

And, of course, "nepotism" is alive-and-well, in the Mormon Crutch!

Let's not forget that that ingratiating puppy, Henry B. Eyring, looks like a Beta-Male sucking up to that Alpha-Male Monson, at Gen'l Conference: Eyring, after all, is descended from the same family as the late Camilla EYRING Kimball.

And, of course, there was dead-dog Hinckley, who appointed both of his two sons to positions of authority, in The Chruch: and, after doing so, deftly deflected the charge of nepotism.

[NaDopros]

@rockwaterman Not only that, but the LDS Church became "The Corporation of the President", about 30 years ago (instead of appointing The Church President as merely Trustee-in-Trust, for The Church...of Latter'day Saints. THIS MEANS THAT truly Monson can pay himself "any amount of money he wants to": he is, after all, the one whose position, in the church, is incorporated! Why else would it be "the corp. of the president", except to consolidate power into the hands of ONE MAN? !!

SPIN IT SHAWN SPIN IT!

[awolLDSasap]

The church has been grooming their leaders for a long time. Leadership appointments are one notch above pulling a name out of a hat.
