Current Events > Mormon Church announce raising the cost to 12k for serving a 2 year mission.

(+) Yeah! (+)

The Mormon church recently announced that they will be increasing the cost of serving a 2 year mission to $12,000 in 2020.

A while back, it was leaked that the church owns at least 32 billion dollars worth of assets in the stock market.

That 32 billion is merely their stock portfolio that we know of... it does not include other assets such as property, and the Mormon Church also owns the largest cattle ranch in the state of Florida.

The mormon Church also built a huge, luxury mall in salt lake city.

You'd think that a church that has 32 billion to blow on the stock market wouldn't charge teenagers $12,000 to give up 2 years of their life to "serve" the church.

But, here we are.

I can't say enough bad things about Mormons. I simply don't understand how people get roped into that shit.

Is a mission like the Mormon equivalent of college?

All religion is horrible. The sooner people realize this the better the world will be.

Religious institutions really shouldn't be tax free. They almost always do shit like this.

On a Morman mission wouldn't you just tell people about Mormonism?

You can literally do that for free, why would you pay that much for it.

Because if they paid taxes they wouldn't be able to afford to charge people 12k to help people in other countries... Sounds about right.

Churches are tax exempt under the principle that there is no surer way to destroy the free exercise of religion than to tax it.

I vote tax it to death then

In all honesty, that seems like a really good trade-off in terms of practicality. You spread around their weird religion and you get food, rent, utilities, and transportation for only $500 a month. The worst part about the whole deal is that Mormons are generally supposed to stay away from entertainment like tv, non-religious music, and internet...You couldn't pay me to abstain from that <_<
