Elder Epley seems to agree the PLUNDERING IS NEFARIOUS.

Isn't plundering, as a general rule, nefarious?

I don't think the men men men were the main point in Elder Epley's post.

If you know Elder E's view on this you'd reconsider ... conservative preachers means MALE to him.

(You edited your post so I don't have your last comment)

It is an opinion of the circumstances.

I have sought out ways to send monies directly to missionaries because of my disdain with the amount of monies given to missionaries that never make it past Missouri.

It has been discussed on here (or on any number of AFF predecessors.)

I think that a clearinghouse that gets money to missionaries is a really great idea and one that is far more efficient than what is currently in place.

To feel this way and express that opinion isn't a potshot... At least no in my opinion.

One thing is to think it's more efficient and the other is view it as ROBBING.

There was another set of definitions available for the term plunder... you didn't list those.

Quote:

2 : to make extensive use of as if by plundering : use or use up wrongfully <plunder the land>

I think this is the one most fitting for what Brother Epley was saying... but it was left out.

I just said what I meant without commentary. I stand behind my statement. Actually it was not meant as a slam but facts are facts. The IAM does NOT take ONE penny out of designated money to missionaries that is the difference. Plundering might have been too strong of a word so supply the word for me Dan?? I send $100 to missionary X and he only gets $75 of it or less splain what that is?
