43. 1996 "welfare reform" - not used by the LDS
Edited on Wed Jul-07-04 04:35 PM by FreeState
The Mormon church does not receive money from the government for the DI programs. Yes the programs are available to them - however they use their own money. The Church prides itself in NOT using government money for anything. But they do get the tax exempt status :)

Also it is note worthy that the original article of this thread was what a Bishop (like a priest in a regular church) sent the statement to trainies, members of his congregation- so how would non-members be told that they have to go to church if they were not attending the church in the first place???
