Stop Paying Tithing and Challenge the Tax Exemption Status of the Mormon Church

https://wasmormon.org/tax-deductible-tithing/

The Mormon Church, along with Ensign Peak Advisors, its investment subsidiary, recently reached a settlement with the SEC to the tune of five million dollars for illegally hiding and obfuscating their invested wealth. Why did they do this? According to the head of Ensign Peak, Roger Clark the leaders were afraid that members would pay less tithing if they knew the church didn’t need to use it for church operations as they claim. He said “Paying tithing is more of a sense of commitment than it is the church needing the money. So they never wanted to be in a position where people felt like, you know, they shouldn’t make a contribution.”

I had a big moment when filing taxes when TurboTax asked if the same deductions applied as the year before. It was like sitting in tithing settlement across from the Bishop's desk as I've done for decades, but this time I defiantly said no, I didn't pay a full tithe. I didn't pay a cent of tithing to the church this year. The first time in my life I could say I didn't give this church any of my money. I did contribute to other charities and causes I support, but the church is no longer among them.

Are the billions of hidden Mormon dollars on your shelf? Did you find out after your faith transition or was it a catalyst in your deconstruction? How did it feel when you stopped paying tithing? Share at wasmormon.org
