How much money does it cost to get married in a baptist church?
Depends on the church and the pastor of the church. I pastor a church and don't charge anything for our members to get married. However, I do expect them to tithe as the Bible asks them to. I don't perfrom a marriage ceremonies for non-members except for special circumstances. I still don't charge anything.

What do people think of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints?
Of course everyone has their own opinion. 14.5 million people like the church so much that they were baptized into it. Many are friendly to the church and it's members but have no desire to join. Billions have never heard of the church and therefore have no opinion. And of course there are always those who are against the church, some so extremely that they actively preach against it or have committed crimes against the church and it's members.
Why a pastor can not remove a deacon in the batist church?
Baptist churches are democracies. The church elects the deacons after recommendations by the congregation or pastor. The pastor is NOT in control of the church the members are except in Baptist churches that are called "independent" and are not affiliated with a large convection like the General Baptist or Southern Baptist. This is done so the pastor can not take too much control of the church. But the church members can vote to remove a deacon. These types of things are done at business meetings in the church.

Why is there a church business meeting?
It is so that the member of the congregation can see how the funds are being used. The money the church brings in comes primarily from the members of the church, so it is a way for the ministers and church workers to share 'the budget' witht he church body. It can also help the members stay up to date and informed on random financial issues in the church. For example, my church is looking to build a new building, so the business meetings always include how much more money is needed to meet the building goal, plus how much is spent on local, national, and international missions and how muhc the preacher get's paid, and stuff like that. Other than that, just so the members can present issues like "We need to repave the parking lot...how will we raise the money?" or "We need to switch from hymnals to a projector screen and swap the pews for theatre seats, how much is that? Let's vote yes or no on it."

How much money does the average Mormon make?
It would be impossible to say, as Mormons don't report their salaries to the Church, and don't report their religion when they pay taxes. Some members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are homeless and unemployed. Others are multimillionares. Some live in small huts and shacks in impoverished third world nations, and some own multiple mansions. The average Mormon is somewhere between. There are almost 14 million members of the Mormon church worldwide, and 60% of those live outside the United States. While there is great economic diversity within the Church, members are encouraged to help those who are less fortunate than them, and generally do. The Church provides support to it's members who are unemployed, homeless, and hungry to ensure that they have access to the basic necessities of life.
