Best Answer

Simply because the law in the United States does not require nonprofit religious institutions to publicly disclose their finances. This is part of the First Amendment to the US Constitution, which prohibits the US Government from meddling in the affairs of law abiding religious organizations.

Those branches of the church which are for profit (such as their real estate and media holdings) do pay taxes and do disclose their finances to the public. In nations where religious organizations are required to disclose their finances, the church complies, but reports only the financial information relative to that nation and not the international church as a whole.

Does the Mormon church financial support the sister wives?

Most definitely not. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) banned polygamy over 100 years ago. The Church does not provide financial support to any sister-wife. The Church will provide in-kind help (food, clothing, emergency supplies, job training, etc) to people outside of their faith who apply for assistance. If you are speaking of the Sister Wives tv show, no. The Browns of the tv show are not members of the Mormon Church. Both Kody and Janelle left the Mormon Church to join the Apostolic United Brethren. Their church may provide financial support, but the Mormon church does not.

How many Mormon serving in military?

It is impossible to know for sure, since there are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' church) serving in the military of many nations. They are not required to disclose their religion to the military, and they are not required to disclose their military service to the church. In addition, the number is constantly changing as people are joining or leaving the military or joining or leaving the church. There are thousands of Mormons serving in militaries around the world, but it would be impossible to know exactly how many.
