Scotland's Most Famous Family Leaves The Church

Post by Everybody Wang Chung »

The church has been shrinking in Scotland every single year since 2011 https://www.cumorah.com/countries/viewS ... 20Scotland. Now, there is more bad news.

The Hann family of 15, is famous for being the largest family in Scotland. They also happen(ed) to be Mormon. The BBC and the DeseretNews covered this family in 2013:

Recently, the entire family has left the Mormon church:

That probably equates to half a wards’ active membership leaving in Scotland.

I guess the church will remove this article very soon:

I’d imagine there’s a number of empty callings to be filled, by members already serving in one or two other callings.

Emma says, “We love our children and have enjoyed being able to show how important our family is to us, and it has been lovely showing how important the teachings of the Saviour are in the raising of our family.”
This is where they went wrong. They said they follow the teachings of Jesus instead of the teachings of the prophets.
