It's really hard for me to listen to him talk about the spiritual attributes of real estate. One of the board members of one of the largest real estate conglomerates in the world.

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

I wonder what the concerns the stake president's had might have been....

What's the moral of this story?

Only tell me the good news.

What can the church do for you that you can't do for yourself?

Nothing... apparently.

So thanks... for nothing.

-100 for not wanting to know about bad things happening in an area that you're allegedly serving.

-100,000,000,000 (that's a hundred billion) for telling people in a FINANCIAL CRISIS to pay their tithing and solve their own problems.

Say it again for the people in the cheap seats: Paying tithing doesn't protect you from financial disaster. Paying tithing doesn't protect you from JACK SQUAT.

Correlation and causation problem. Imagine that those who pay tithing are the least likely to face economic problems. Why is this a surprise?

I'm as big a fan of L Whitney as I am of Rasband. Which is, not much.
