- 041 - Poor No More
You may have seen the recent Washington Post article on how one of the church's investment arms, Ensign Peak Advisors, has amassed over $100 billion in assets, has never paid taxes, and has not been following the requirements to retain its 501c status. We take a moment in this episode to talk about the church's wealth, and how it ties to its past and current teachings on donations from members.

About MormonTalk
From the publisher's feed
Critical, accusatory, but lightened with occasional irreverent humor, MormonTalk is a journey with Mike, Dave, and Mitch as they explore issues with the truth claims of The Church of Jesus Christ of…
Latter-Day Saints (aka, the Mormon church). As former Mormons who indulged in apologetics at times, the podcast hosts get personal as they address the struggle members of the Church face when they attempt to deal with some of the initially-attractive, sometimes-shocking, ever-evolving truth claims of the religion. Not intended for active adherents to the faith, MormonTalk is aimed at people ranging from those who've already left, to those who are in the process of leaving, to those who have just begun questioning. If nothing else, it is "an exploration for those who question".
