So here's my question... many Stake Presidents and Bishops (and their Counselors) also give a LOT of their time to serve in the church - why aren't they compensated financially for their time? I know of some Bishops who serve up to 15-20 hours per week in their callings - where's their $60,000?
The Mormon Wikileaks site is going to die because the only crap it can dig up is boring.
It is only when some source starts forcing the Church to make public what people confess to their Bishops that things will ever get interesting.
As it is now, this "information" isn't interesting, it doesn't add to transparency and it showcases how petty and weak the anti-movement has become.
so then the GA receiving money is or is not true then?

I should like to add, parenthetically for your information, that the living allowances given the General Authorities, which are very modest in comparison with executive compensation in industry and the professions, come from this business income and not from the tithing of the people.
http://www.ksl.com/?sid=42827128&nid=14 ... lds-church"General Authorities leave their careers when they are called into full-time church service," said Eric Hawkins, spokesman for the church. "When they do so, they focus all of their time on serving the church, and are given a living allowance. The living allowance is uniform for all General Authorities. None of the funds for this living allowance come from the tithing of church members, but instead from proceeds of the church's financial investments."
