Author's quote: "Outsider's money estimates always raise disclaimers from officialdom, presumably because of the danger that fat-looking figures might weaken members' tithing compliance."Author's sources: Author's opinion
FAIR's Response
Fact checking results: This claim contains propaganda - The author, or the author's source, is providing information or ideas in a slanted way in order to instill a particular attitude or response in the reader
This is a non sequitur and essentially claims to mind-read. The authors appear to have no idea why Latter-day Saints actually pay tithing.
