I would so, so like an answer to this jsmirman Oct 2012 #2

Several non LDS charities have received donations. See post 6 and 7 for links. nt kelly1mm Oct 2012 #14

OK. Sorry I thought it was directed at me. I do agree with your math in that only 6% kelly1mm Oct 2012 #20

Yep. I had every reason to think you would appreciate the simple math jsmirman Oct 2012 #21

There are good reasons he does not talk about his charities. gordianot Oct 2012 #8
