I've heard rumors that when it comes time to call a new stake president that sometime the visiting authority will ask for suggestions and also consult a list of the top tithe payers in the stake for the short list of people they will interview. It seemed to be enough smoke to think there is a fire, ...

So if I understand you correctly, it seems you are trying to impress the critics that church growth is a sign in which the one true Church will continue to operate and function leading up to the second coming of Jesus Christ. Is that what you are trying to impress upon us, MG 2.0? But I suppose the...

2014 85,000 missionaries in 406 missions. 2024 projected 72,000 in 430 missions. Granted that was peak Monson’s trick of lowering the age, but the average missionaries per mission is going from 209 to 167.

I've heard Tim Ballard is eyeing the seat. God save us if he gets the seat.

The board actually rehired Rosebud once she made the sexual harassment claims. So as to not deprive her of income while they did the investigation. You could simplify to say she lost her job due to the affair with her boss. You lose important context to not admit it was a largely consensual affair t...

Yes, your take, Dwight. Not everyone's. And your opinion is not documented, in my opinion. ...At the end of the day, there was a power differential and so ultimately John Dehlin falls under sexual harassing a subordinate, but legally Open Stories Foundation was too small for it to be legally action...
