For a 70s soundtrack, the original Rocky soundtrack holds up pretty well. Some may disagree, but I like it.

Fenway is still in use so there is no need to bring it back

CaliWG

Your question wasn’t which should be brought back.

scootsy

"...to still be in use today" implies that it is currently not in use today.

All those albums were terrible. What a sad footnote to a wonderful era.

There's a category of films that accomplish what you describe: Bottle Movies

Whereas furiosa nailed it. None of the action was confusing.

Compound interest works it's magic

DJROSS

Do they use any of the interest from the endowment? Or does it just grow?

cougarfann888

The interest is kind of the point of an endowment.

Cougarclaw

The audit list $100M in "allocated for expenditure" which is likely...

The answer is fast offerings. And the church is feeding a lot of poor.

Why should I be able to question God about His bank account?

stoils

I do not equate men to God. The Church doesn't either that's why they audit stuff. Thanks for trying though.

Do Bishops ever turn down anyone asking for food from the Storehouse?

BYUtka

The solution the Church is moving to is to not build more storehouses but instea
