Church Official Gives Number of People Leaving

[_Doctor CamNC4Me]

I baptized 53 people on my mission.

I would state that approximately 2-3 people were legitimate converts.

One was a mentally challenged woman.

None of them paid tithing. Hence the Mall.

I am sure the church leaders see the real picture, and are deeply worried about it.

But what are they doing about it?

A few weeks ago, I posted about my daughter's new calling, in which our stake president told her to throw SLC's program under the bus. To not under any circumstances follow what SLC had put out, because it didn't work.

It sure seems to me like they would heed the words of their stake leadership, but I'm beginning to think they're all deaf.

i like this post. i don't know how many people i taught or baptised, or how many paid tithing or pay tithing currently. but, i think what you are describing is a reasonable and accurate description of most missionary resumes. in most areas of my mission, and as a ward mission leader in the usa, i have seen what you describe. the missionaries don't typically teach people that are going to stay active in the church and they spend a disproportionate amount of time 'converting' mentally ill and unstable people.
