What does the Temple do with the money it receives?
Much of the revenue from literature, jewelry, and active membership fees goes to printing, website, and message board maintenance and other business costs. Costs for training seminars cover the travel expenses and rental costs of the seminars themselves.
Any difference between cost and revenue is intended to provide the Temple with a financial buffer and to promote the Temple Mission.
All who come to the Temple do so of their own free will and receive value for value. No one is ever required to do anything and no one is required to remain if they wish to leave.
Additionally, the rumors that the Temple is a source of revenue for other groups or individuals is simply untrue.
