    The Latter Day Saints have their own STATE for crying out loud. They also established one of the most prestigous universities in the country, BYU.

    The Seventh Day Adventists operate the best teaching hospitals in the world and crank out world class doctors.

    The Jehovah's Witnesses are best known through being the butt of jokes in comedy skits. They are at present scrambling to get their financial act together.

    I think they're doing fine financially speaking. (nowhere compared to the LDS)

    and JW jokes are nothing to shake a stick at!

    The Mormons use a bunch of their money for humanitarian efforts and have their own welfare system (rather than living off Gov't welfare)
