It’s a strange position they’re in. They’ve never been more wealthy than they are now, but they’re also set to possibly lose a larger share of subsequent generations of members than perhaps ever before as well. In our area, despite the promise of a new-and-improved post-scouting youth program, the ...

He is definitely a Christian conservative who at one time had flirted with leftest ideology and saw it for what it was. He’s a bit more complex than you’re making him out to be. The fact that he is a Christian conservative, however, will most likely discourage you from reading the book I’ve linked ...

Now that’s funny. MG pitches a 40yr old charity, one of the best in the world, and incorrectly claims it was founded in Utah? Doesn’t that just sum it up. The root of all good things is Mormonism because Mormonism is the root of all good things. LOL!! MG should read the report linked in the opening...

That is what is truly despicable. The Zimbabwe president was asking for help with water— just WATER! For God’s sake, when the lds leader told him “we are not a wealthy people.” Bullshiit. The water emergency hasn’t improved in that country in decades. Meanwhile, donating a couple of days of just th...

And then what's really disheartening is to see page 12. Such a disproportionate amount of church growth from lower-income regions, for like a generation or more. Has the church ever spent its money to support growth in those poorer regions? No, it doesn't. The church crimps every region's budgets t...

I came across this statement, and thought it rather insightful: "People don't leave Christianity because they stop believing in the teachings of Jesus. People leave the Christian Church because they believe in the teachings of Jesus so much, they can't stomach being part of an institution that clai...

Has anybody heard of the Sikh's Nagar Kirtan festival? It is annually held in my home town in Northern California, except for last year, when it was cancelled due to the pandemic. It returned this year Nov 5, and it is reportedly the world's largest Sikh festival. People come from all over the worl...
