My dad is in his late 60s, super high risk as a cancer survivor with Asthma.

He's going to be at church today because he can play the organ. Otherwise he wouldn't be there because they told the over 60s to stay home.

I'm so livid. I think it's wrong to have churches open right now, even with masks and social distancing. Some non-TSCC around here do drive in services and I think that's fine, but this is beyond selfish of his ward.

WTF is T$CC doing.

I was thinking about this as I watched a notable twitch streamer raise money for St. Jude. For reference, St. Jude costs $2.8 million a day to operate, or $1.022 billion a year. That number to me is just a mind blowingly high amount of money.

In comparison, TSCC costs $6 billion a year to operate, which means it costs TSCC costs ~$16,438,356.16 a day to operate.

Exactly what costs that much? For a "church" that is a tiny portion of humans, and makes members clean their own worship places and fund-raise for basically anything....that seems extremely high.

Is most of that BYU? that's ridiculous if it is.

I know we don't know, because TSCC won't disclose it....but damn.

My favorite thing to do when someone says something along the lines of "X does lots of good things" or "lots of people do X" is to say a very childish "oh yeah? Name 5".

I always hear from TBMs that the church does lots of good, but tbh, I can't think of any "good" the church actually does. I see members doing stuff with their own money/time (like Helping Hands) but I don't see the church doing anything. Usually it's just things like forcing people to clean the building in exchange for using the Bishop's storeroom. And never anything using tithing funds to give back to the community.

So, yeah. What "good" does TSCC actually do? Cause I can't think of anything.
