“ “to generate long-term value to support the Church’s religious, charitable, and humanitarian good works,” said a Farmland Reserve spokesman. “
Tell me when that charitable and humanitarian good works start. I’d love to see that.
You know, the country is suffering from corporate greed raising prices on food and folks are suffering. The church has plenty of land and resources to alleviate the issue right now. There’s a humanitarian good work for ya.
Oh wait, this is just being bought up to pad their portfolio and increase the hoard they’re sitting on for a “rainy day”. Not for actual good works. There will never be a rainy day worthy of their aid, there will never be a chance for the church to spend a single penny on anyone in need.
Let’s not forget they fight being held responsible for the crimes they commit against their own followers, rape, child molestation, and harassment are never their responsibility. They cry poverty when any shred of justice is served.
And just how many businesses have a cash and investment reserve that borders on $300 billion?!? ANY private organization with access to that much money is potentially a threat to the stability of our government as it is, but when it's a church, never mind a church with some seriously problematic positions on certain social issues, there is a PROBLEM! And I'm hardly the first one to notice this. Consider:
It is all a big con job allowed because we give a big pass to irrational beliefs because they are 'deeply-held religious beliefs'. No proof required and plenty of opportunities for profit.
A church/religion saving money for a rainy day demonstrates that they don't have much faith that their god is going to see to their needs through prayer.
When you read this after just listening to the recent episode of Reveal based on the following horrifying AP investigation it starts to feel even worse. Did you know 33 states have a loophole exempting Pastor Penitent Privilege from their Mandated Reporter laws? Is yours one of them? Mine is and I didn't know it until yesterday.
The hoarding of lucre was exposed a few years ago, but the author of The Expanse had them nailed since 2011. The LDS built a spaceship designed to be a self sufficient planet type home for all Mormons, exposing the wealth the church had to have been hoarding since its inception.
Imagine if this is the true purpose for that money.
Seriously though, what good is a charity that builds temples of gold while displacing or paving over the unhoused and poverty stricken?
Everyone thought the Big Real Estate Buyout was fun and games until China and the LDS Church went to war over water rights. Now Nebraska is a wasteland.
Well, it was always a wasteland. But now it’s a wasteland with a lot of dead bodies.
Well, it previous had a lot of dead bodies, but now more than just opioid deaths.
I thought that there was a joke about Mormon's only buying white states in there somewhere, but then I realized that Oklahoma had a large native American population. So I guess there is a joke about buying only white states, while screwing over native Americans in there. I would take the time to write it, but some one beat me to it. It's called, "The Book of Mormon." I haven't read it, but I hear it turns into fan fict of the bible, but hovers around the "fifty-shades-of-grey-fan-fict" level of quality.
And when victims obtain a right to compensation after a trial, the same leaders claim they have no money.

Such investments show 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘺 how much faith the Mormon church has in that whole-ass planet their goddything is supposedly reserving for them.
Spoilers: it's the same amount of faith I have in it.

LDS is nothing but a tax dodge scheme.

OT : I went to the hospital today for a follow up. From the picture I saw the scaring should be minimal.

The current value of farm land in Nebraska is $3835 per acre. Times 370,000 = $1.4 Billion.
Nice little nest/apocalypse egg you got there.
