How much did the church leadership say that God was requiring you to chip in?
There is nothing in the Bible that supports disfellowshipping a believer for not giving enough money.
Is this something taught in the Book of Mormon?

Oops, another duplicate post. How the heck does that happen. Oh well, I'm not the one who disallows editing. We learn by repetition, right?
THIS SECOND POST IS MORE COMPLETE (Editing in red). Wow, you guys get to see actual editing in progress. Now that's progress, and very colorful, no?

REPLY: All my life, over 50-years there, there was no grubbing for peoples' dollars or means of support. Indeed, they supported me
financially a thousand times more than I ever supported the Prophet or the leadership, and that went on from one decade after another for 50-years. So I am a direct witness of the rightness of the Prophet, and the wrongness of myself
and of all who were cast off, and of all the world not gathered out of the world, with the saints.
No, it wasn't for lack of money that they kicked me. Every soul and child that was cast upon the waters of life, as Moses was set afloat on the Nile, was according to the scriptures (Matt. 10:34 and many others), for other issues...ludeness, drugs, smoking, cussing, disturbing the peace, even incest and rape. What true leader would not cast them out. Warren is the truest of leaders today.
No, I was not guilty of all that, but loose and lacking enough to justify freeing me long enough to repent from afar. Same goes for the hundreds of "lost boys". The world has only played your sensitivities on children like a damn horn. These "lost" boys were pushing sex and drugs and all kinds of corruption onto the community, and I witnessed it.
It was the enemy that broke in and planted the tares, like the Lord said (Matt.13:25). So the Prophet cleaned it up quite manfully, and established a free and holy community on the plains of Texas, according to the Holy Order of God.
And now, he is in prison for one thing, for marriage and the creation of life, as the law requires the destruction of life, even millions of little babies, according to the pro-choice right of women to kill them.
As for scripture on not giving enough, throughout the scripture the law is to "
sacrifice ALL earthly things" for the glory of God. It may be painful, for the Lord promises that "
every sacrifice shall be salted with salt" (Mark 9:49). "
Sell ALL that thou hast for my poor, and follow me (Matt.19:21).
See, it is all quite scriptural, even from your Christian Bible, and from the Redeemer Himself. But the world, being of the world, has rejected all that, and become antichrist, and "Satan deceiveth the whole world" (Rev.12:9, 13:14). Only the losers are grubbing over dollars and land and trinkets, "dogs eating the crumbs from the Master's Table(Matt.15:27).
