The reason she's not with her companion is because she was eaten by her mission president down in the basement of the MTC.

They are desperate. They are doing whatever they can to keep people in until the sunk cost fallacy can start taking over it seems or until the member completely disregards history. My stake president brother doesn't even want to engage in the historical issues because for him it simply doesn't matter. Joseph Smith could have confessed to making it all up and he would still remain. For him, believing a pious fraud is ok because of the "good" he convinces himself that the church does. Never mind all the time and money wasted.

The world is going through a change wherein people in general are awakening to a higher level of consciousness whereby humanity is evolving. Cult religions like tyrannical governments are losing the ability to stay viable and the human race is steering away from it. The rising generation is really going to change our world.

The money flow into Mormonism is going to seriously diminish and it's going to be increasingly harder to maintain expenses and keep the charade up. The church is a boring institution that is grounded on the idea of making you feel guilty if you don't measure up to the standards set up and established by grumpy old white men.

Believe me, it's over for the church. Mormonism is crashing and burning right before our eyes. It gives me a sense of joy and satisfaction knowing that this cult is finally meeting its doom.

It is times like these that I am ashamed I ate that tripe for 30 years, and paid for the privilege.
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.
