Re: An Alarming Trend with a Costly Outcome for Temple Build
Now THIS is an interesting topic with implications far beyond temples. This is something I've been aware of and thinking about for a little while, based on impressions and a smattering of hard data, so I'm very interested to hear your account of one the 15 talking about it directly. I'd love to kno...

An Alarming Trend with a Costly Outcome for Temple Building
In one of those huh moments, I was sitting in a meeting attended by one of the Mormon Corporation's special 15. In a unsolicited statement those in attendance were given a small glimpse into an "alarming trend". The special one stated that though the Brethren are pleased with the continued...

Re: Loss of Mormon Identity in Utah (link)
Interesting. Of course, the Mormon presence varies across the state. Orem is not Price is not Park City. So, why don't the politics reflect this? Or do they? One Word - Caucuses. Utah is the last State in the Union that has binding caucuses. There is a petition for open Primaries but the Utah Legis...

Re: Religious Privilege Challenged in Washington State, Idah
There is a trend building the the US and Canada. GOOGLE GOD is showing all who desire the weirdness and corruptness of these "peculiar institutions" that use Religious pretext to hide from the IRS and State Tax Commissions. My personal belief. As a Religion you start with $0.00 in the bank...

Re: Local Young Adult Ward DECIMATED
Nope. Just looked in, got scared, and walked out. You know the very back row, the one next to the gray room divider? It was full, and the last two rows in the back were full, and all the rest of the rows were EMPTY. I could almost hear the Twilight Zone theme playing. I walked out...dazed and confu...

Well, the Church is making small strides (can't move a large group of people too fast without losi...
