Showerthought: the Mormon church may never run out of financial resources.

The best hope we have is chipping away gradually at their human capital. This church is built solidly on the backs of volunteers. We talk about a tipping point, and lack of member involvement is likely to be the lynchpin.

I'm stuck going to church, but I half-ass my calling and make less-than-faithful but logical comments. People will frequently thank me because deep down many like to listen to some reason. I will not bear my testimony though.

Seeing as how I’m indirectly employed by them, this both warms and saddens my heart

I had to completely stop once I realized what a bunch of lies that were taught by TSCC. I just can't support such a fraudulent and harmful organization.

If they get hit with a fair number of lawsuits for some of the sexual abuse that the constituents have faced, that could definitely hurt them. I don’t like to ever think any entity is too big to fail.

Yet another reason to spin off the “church”, while keeping all the assets with the corporation. Leaving the church essentially penniless means there’s nothing to take when they start losing lots of legal cases.

Eh. They only care about the money, so losing human capital (i.e. members) means little to them.

The moment the “church” part of LDSCORP starts costing more than it brings in, they will spin it off into another entity, start charging that entity rent on their chapels, and turn the chapels into a revenue-generator for the true core of TSCC, the real estate & stock private equity holding company.

That’s a great point that I hadn’t considered. Thanks!

There is a steady chipping away of their power. The one thing that can destroy them is the history of active suppression of sexual crimes. The boyscouts are in bankruptcy now because of it. It has plagued the Catholic Church for decades now. The cult knows this is their Achilles heel and they are actively fighting against it. So far they have been safe in their bastion of control in the morridor.

Eventually there will be a watershed moment. This will likely be the first case that refuses to settle and instead forces complete financial disclosure in the morridor. Once there is blood in the water the other sharks will attack.
