Financial caution makes the most sense.

It's not a dollar for dollar match. Additionally, there is what is known as Risk Based Capital, which is the additional amount of assets needed on hand to protect the company against adverse insurance, investment or interest rate experience. http://www.beneficialgroup.com/about/financial.html Last edited by Indy Coug; 07-19-2007 at 06:39 PM. |

Since Adam seems to be so tapped into the HQ Whispering Post, I'd be curious if he could elucidate how much of the church's investment portfolio in bonds, stocks, REITs, etc. back their legitimate business ventures and how much of it is actually specifically for the church itself?
If the church is receiving billions a year in tithing, what is the most reasonable way to deal with that steady flow of income while they allocate it to all of the various facets of the church (buildings, missionaries, storehouses, charities, etc.)? |

However, why didn't this member apply to his ward for assistance? Why didn't his hometeacher know of the predicament. I don't think a government sponsored shelter is the answer to this probably isolated incident, horrible as it appears to have been.
