Thank you for your concern, but I have, in fact, looked deeper into my chosen faith. There is no church or religion on this planet that is sparkling white, but that's the thing about religion: you're not meant to worship men, including the people who lead the religion, nor are you meant to worship the church simply because it's a church. You follow the teachings of the church, and you live your life in the way that you believe brings you closer to God.
I worship God; I do not worship Joseph Smith, or Brigham Young, or Russell Nelson. While there may or may not be a distasteful history here or there, those events irrelevant to the teachings of the lord, so thank you, but I have my testimony in the Lord and in Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
Um, tithing settlement? Or whatever they call it now?
You cant go to the temple without paying tithing, and ordinances in the temple are needed for salvation.
Friend, it's all fake. I know it's hard to hear, but it's all fake. Look objectively at the church and its history and you will see (hopefully)

They are also the only Group I have ever encountered that have said to never bad mouth other religions
