Quite the contrary there Napoleon. I won't bog you down with the hundreds of anecdotes that I could, but remember the "half shekel" teaching (just as one example)? That taught that you could actually buy salvation and healings for your body. It was so prevalent at one time that a respected theologian from our ranks was commissioned to write an article condemning the practice in the Forward magazine.

I referenced that article in a meeting where I was speaking once and a group in the audience actually disrupted the service by trying to shout me down over the issue. One voice there was a district official.
