No, not covert. They don't count converts, only those who pass through the turnstile located on the steps of the baptismal font.

We had a recent convert in our ward, a PhD student, and I was really curious about his conversion. At stake conference, he spoke about his experience. So, if the boys in Salt Lake are listening, here's the way to do it:
1. Have a Mormon girlfriend.
2. Restrict your Internet research to LDS.org and Mormons.org.
3. Read only the LDS scriptures and materials the missionaries give you.
If they can get people to do this, the baptisms should start flooding in.

Counter-conversion steps:
1. go to
www.google.com
2. type "Mormon" in the search box
Deconversion should soon follow

IS his girlfriend hot?
I mean what normal non Mormon man would even consider looking at Mormonism if his GF is fugly?
Plus I wonder if she gave him some levi lovin...
The other side to relationships like this is the Mormon girl feels like she is being challenged by her Mormon family/friends and is thereby on her own quest to prove them all wrong by converting him...

I believe that the "boys in Salt Lake" are well aware of this, hence FARMS, FAIR, BKP's "The Mantle is Far, Far Greater Than the Intellect," the Strengthening Church Members Committee, and so on. It seems that the Brethren want very much to control all aspects of LDS history, and I believe that if they had to ability to completely alter the historical records, they would---or else they would limit the material in such a way that it totally guaranteed an absence of apostasy.

Yeh, cause it couldent possibly have anything to do with a witness of the Spirit.
"Theres no such thing as the Holy Ghost !"

Oddly enough, that was the one thing he didn't mention in his talk. He just said that reading the materials and studying with the missionaries, he thought it made sense and sounded good.

If his testimony is not founded on a witness of the spirit, then he is rideing his girlfriends coattails and has no foundation. Hopefully that will come for him later. Sometimes the requirements have to be lived for a bit I guess. "Witness comes after the trial of faith" or something like that.

Hmmm. I had the witness of the spirit. I lived the requirements. I must be plain evil. ;-)

Why do you go against the witness you received?
