Tanya, members of the LDS church "donate" their time, talents, and efforts towards helping in the nearby communities and within the church itself, not only locally but internationally without media involvement. Your statement of the church becoming "more and more focused on real estate...gobbling up property in Nebraska and Florida in breathtaking amounts," is inaccurate in assuming that the LDS church is fully focused on real estate. If that were true, then the name of the LDS church would instead be, "The Real Estate Church," or some other title affiliated with real estate itself. It's not. It is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Unfortunately, misguided and misquoted information can lead one to make uninformed and misguided conclusions.
