Having watched my 401k lose half its value in 2008, I can attest to the ephemeral nature of money, especially money invested in the stock market. It does seem absurd that the LDS church is saving for the second coming, since most prophecies also mention that a lot of calamities will precede it. (Market instability always negatively affects the value of any investments.) And of course the presumption that Jesus, who condemned rich people for ignoring the poor, will approve of how the money donated was not used to help the poor.
Oh well not my circus, not my monkeys any more.

Maybe this is just phase 1. Once they amass a trillion, they’ll start to cash out and completely end poverty. 😆

Actually when the mormon jesus returns he will take on the role of financial planner and investment adviser for the poor. HIS thousand year reign will result in the greatest transfer of wealth in history — don’t forget the part about the poor and meek inheriting the world………….
