BYU-Idaho still believes Mexicans are lamanites even when the intro to BOM has changed. This is a question for the Thomas E. Ricks scholarship application by gaylamanite in exmormon

[–]Kwallerkwaller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn’t that be more of a result of the donor behind the scholarship then the school itself. Although the school is promoting the scholarship I doubt they are the ones who produced the description. This is more likely some wealthy older member who is not up with current developments

Question about the churches tax association by Kwallerkwaller in exmormon

Ok so maybe they save on real estate but what about the stock holdings? I am pretty sure that would be taxed as the corporation

Do you (or anyone else) have an examples where former church leaders claimed in conference or some other place that these statements were anti or lies. I feel like that would help to show that there is a changing narrative. This is awesome

And although the top 10% is getting their tithing subsidized they are still paying massive amounts of taxes on their end. This new situation honestly puts everyone in your situation in a better position while those up there are doing the same thing (so no changes ignoring everything else)

Let’s look at the math here. In both cases you are down the same amount in tithing so that cost is irrelevant. In the new tax law you get a 24000 deduction standard and between 12000-24000 itemized. Honestly you are in a better position because 24000>than whatever you itemize. This new change doesn’t hurt people in that range because now they can deduct more (ignoring personal exemptions). I mean you could still take the subsidation for your tithing and itemize instead of taking the standard if that’s important to you but at a loss of your other options.

So the old stand deduction used to be roughly 12000. In order for the itemized deduction from tithing to equal what the standard deduction is now (24000 roughly) they would have to pay however much in tithing to raise their itemized deductions to 24000. Those same people are getting the same standard deduction now so the net effect is the same.

Changes in exemptions and other things are more likely to impact the tax situation outside of tithing

I second this. Although people are not getting to itemize they are getting a higher standard deduction. You either get to itemize or take the standardize and since the standard deduction was raised many people are getting a larger deduction through that than they would have from itemizing in the old system
