the LDS church controls $8.3 trillion in wealth. They could afford to flood Ukraine with biblically accurate fighter jets. These would cover more ground than bicycles

$8.3 trlllion in wealth
That is like 10 times the US yearly military budget. Where are you getting these numbers from?
77ReplyNo clue. I'm seeing closer to 300 billion sited.
46ReplyNobody knows the exact number as they hide their wealth using all sorts of shady methods. We do know they had more than 100 billion in just one investment account. They also own over 1 million acres of agricultural land, and large amounts of commercial real estate. Tracking all the business entities they own around the world is also difficult as they commonly use shell companies and other methods to hide their ownership.
Any estimate you find is just a guess.

I think they messed up their decimal point. I just made a modest donation, so they should have around $83 Trillion
18ReplyThis is non-credible defense, I think you know where those numbers come from.
9ReplySounds like bullshit ngl number of mormons (17 million) times the average american net worth (1 million) = 17 trillion.
Does the temple literally own half the wealth of their congregation?
6ReplyThey collect a tithe of 10% of members’ income from the entire congregation. Most people accumulate less than 10% of their income as net worth annually
So yes, quite possibly they do.
10ReplyAnd that's assuming that all 17 million mormons the LDS church claims to have actually exist. It's kind of annoying to get deleted from their rolls, so a lot of people who leave don't bother. Also, many of those 17 million live in much poorer nations than the US.
6ReplyThat 17 million is a vast overestimation of their worldwide attendance. Real numbers, based off of cellphone data, are closer to 4 million.

Okay, so I’m not a big fan of the LDS church, but can we talk about how unironically hard that Hornet regalia goes?
48ReplyRight, just change the church specific stuff to random shit and I'm 100% sold.
6ReplyI would have thought the jet in the picture was a Mexican Cartel jet.

AI jet, hornet inspired but not hornet in actuality.

25ReplyA good Mornon would say "Fudge you." You ain't gonna get a recommend from your Stake President if you use language like that.
Don't forget to pay your tithing and fast offerings!
10Reply 5ReplyNah, fudge is for kids and Christmas. For outbursts, use "fetch," and in this context, "screw" is appropriate.

Wouldn't biblically accurate fighter jets have 6 wings or something like that?
18ReplyChatGPT4o made it, and we all know that ChatGPT is not capable of being wrong.
I also asked for a biblically accurate stealth bomber and got this:
18ReplyLooks like the new wish.com-lookin’ “stealth” bomber the Russians say they’re making, but almost certainly won’t actually produce

No this is a King James version fighter jet.

That is a completely made up number.
The corporation of the Mormon church does have absurd wealth and resources, tons of real estate, investments, etc, but estimates say it is worth between 100-300 billion in worth.
That's a lot, but definitely not trillions lol

You shut your whore mouth; bicycles are awesome!
11ReplyIts also factually incorrect, jet fighters fly in the air, they don't go on the ground
7ReplyUm, they have tires. They can obviously be driven on streets. Can't use HOV lanes though.
