This question is a joke. Also, the mods should add a joke tag to allow dumb answers.

    I live in Utah. Mormons are absolutely required to tithe in order to participate in temple ceremonies. I’ve never been LDS, but my understanding is that the accounting for how much you tithe is carefully monitored. It’s also my understanding that you must participate in temple ceremonies to achieve admittance into heaven.

      Your statements are correct about the practices of tithing and temple attendance. The things you mention are widely practiced among the faithful. My dear father and oldest brother attend their annual “tithing settlement” while I happily deposit an extra 10% into my savings.

      So it’s a cult. Not like that’s any huge revelation, but there’s no way anyone can claim they are NOT a cult.
