The 100 billion fund
 
It strikes me as a big nothing burger. Churches should have wide latitude on how to use their money. Including saving it.

I need to know how the Church got returns like that.

So I know where to invest.

EagleNest. My BiL once worked for them. Lots of conservative but sound investments.

Bycommonconsent.org - comments are heavily moderated and deleted. Especially posts that defend the church.

There was a comment that pointed out Judas also complained about the use of money and said it should be used for the poor.

BCC deleted this comment.

There is more Judas in BCC than they will ever admit.

Wasn't BCC's tax expert, Sam Brunson, siding with the Church on this issue?

But yeah, they are progressive mullahs.

He expresses regret in a more recent post that a lawsuit trying to force church's to reveal more financial information failed.

Sometimes they are just as dogmatic as conservative mullahs in their own way.

I have to say that I am (pleasantly) surprised that they haven't become politics anti-Trump all day all-the-time. There was a time they were wanting to do that. So boring.

And of course they have to get a hard on for Romney since he voted for conviction.
