Does it bother any mormon that the church doesn't tell you where you 10% of tithing or your fast offerings go each month?

Yes..It should bother them that the church keeps their finances secret. Yes, they do have an audit...but do you really think a church as huge as the LDS one is incapable of "cooking" the books? DUH!!!!!
It should bother them that they have to pay both 10% and a monthly "fast offering" It should occur to them that if the church keeps that a secret what else are they hiding? The real history of the church perhaps? The truth about Jospeh Smith?

Uh yes they do. Every six months there is an audit report of the church that tells what activities the church is spending money on, whether it be building new buildings, sending missionaries to help people, or sending humanitarian aid.

ALTHOUGH IT DOES BOTHER A LOT OF PEOPLE, IT REAL SHOULDN'T BECAUSE IF YOU ARE TITHING YOU 10% AS YOU SHOULD, CONTINUE TO TO SO. IF THE CHURCH IS MISS USING THE FUNDS THEN THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE HIGHER POWER PLAIN & SIMPLE. DON'T ASK QUESTIONS THAT WE WIL NEVER GET ANSWERS TO!

Anyone who actually takes the Mormon religion seriously has much more to worry about than 10% of the cash.

they do! they build churches and temples at an exponential rate- not cheap. they are very quick on the scene of humanitarian disasters, requiring stored necessities and manpower. they have an education fund which allows people to get educated who couldn't afford it themselves.

It should bother them more that the church will send parishoners a bill for their "pledge." It happened to my uncle when he separated from his LDS wife.

No churches do, and it bothers a lot of people.

NO Christian Church should be TITHING!
It is O.T. Law that Jesus got rid of!

No, Not really... Do you really think they are going to steal it and buy crack cocaine with it?
