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.

Perhaps the LDS hierarchy are counting on Romney to stench the flow. Even the 50,000 world wide missionaries are having abysmal results.

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.

Where oh where do you get your ridiculous data re Mormons leaving the Church in droves? It’s simply not true. Abysmal results by 50 K Missionaries? What do you call abysmal? Once again, you are wrong.

They are joining faster than they are leaving, it's a sifting process, wheat and Chaff, goats and sheep...

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.

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.

Don't seem to be working for you, I remember when you used to had a loving disposition!

I’m not a Mormon. Doesn’t matter to me that Mormon numbers might increase. They are great peoople and I’d be happy if some moved in next door to me because they live upstanding lives.

Here’s the big problem with Mormons: they don’t drink stimulating beverages and that includes coffee and tea. What? None of that in the White House? Now, if Romney tries to stop me from drinking coffee and tea, he should be impeached. The duty of all of us is to slip a bit of coffee or tea into his water. We must take down this teetotaler. (I’m not serious of course).

Anyone have an extra mitten?

I would tell you the truth but it would only anger you.

To anger a liberal, tell him the truth
