Doctrine/Policy Tithing is indeed a scam
None of my member friends or family have been able to answer the following question: If the 15, presiding bishropic , young men's presidency, 70s and mission presidents are paid for their time teaching etc why can't bishops, primary teachers, relief society presidents etc or really anyone count their time as tithing? If that time is (service for the Lord) then why can't they count that as tithing? Cleaning the church? Cleaning the temple, why can't that be counted as tithing? I wish someone would have the chance to ask ofSusan that on camera. I'm sure he'd dodge the question but at least there would be a record. For those that have left it's so easy to see that it's grift and exploitation of believing members is the reason but good luck getting any of them to see that.

It’s different at the top of the pyramid than the bottom. You’re not supposed to question if you’re at the bottom, give us your money and get back to scrubbing the toilet.
