They surely don't use out of pocket money to fund church business..

This is my source. I asked if they did, and many Mormons answered yes.

Tithing pays for much of the travel of the church -- even the first class tickets.
Missionaries fly all over the world coach on tithing money.
I don't know about private jets -- as far as I know the Apostles fly in commercial jets and as I understand it is first class

Some called into the positions of leadership are or were rich men that is true. They have given up multi million dollar business to work for the church for nothing, some of those same people have paid millions in tithing and have donated even more just out of the goodness of their hearts. If they give a private Jet to the church why don't you think the church should use it? No they are not getting paid for being a spiritual leader in the church but after having given the church so much, why is it that you think they should also be subject to pay their own way to give spiritual guidance to those who are under them when they have no income coming in? There are also those who were not rich when called, and they would not be able to afford to teach in their callings with out help in the form of travel money.

First class and private jets?
Think you have the Mormon Church confused with other churches.
If not, kindly provide your sources.

It is my understanding that a gajillionnair (Jon Huntsman, if I'm not mistaken) donates the jet and pilots to take teh prophet anywhere.

One plane they have was actually donated to them by some guy in Texas. Because he knows the importance of the gospel they need to spread, just like you know.

I don't think you have any proof of who pays for what or who doesn't pay for what.
