You are probably correct. In fact since the advent of the Internet, there seems to be little that Mormonism can do to stop the hemorrhage of peole leaving the Church in great numbers.
They are joining faster than they are leaving, it's a sifting process, wheat and Chaff, goats and sheep...
Perhaps the LDS hierarchy are counting on Romney to stench the flow. Even the 50,000 world wide missionaries are having abysmal results.
I have extended family currently serving, they are not having "Abysmal results" also the churches growth rate (which is a positive number) gives the lie to your statement. The National Council of Churches in 2005 (
latest figures I can find quickly) lists the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints as the fastest growing church in the USA.
Wouldn't it be much simpler if Mormonism gave up their secret oaths, covenants, clothing, ordinances and reliance upon works of the flesh and simply came to Christ for redemption. It seems the only way.
Yeah, there is an easy path and a straight and narrow one. The only problem with Mormons doing as you say is we have a testimony of our religion, and modern day revelation from God, but thanks for your advice.
The National Council of Churches in 2005 (latest figures I can find quickly) lists the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints as the fastest growing church in the USA.How much of that growth is due to missionary successes and how much is due to the fact that the LDS Church promotes large families? Until that mix is known, your fact cannot be used to disprove the statement that the missionary activities are having poor results.
