1. How many of those 13 Million members are the result of dead dunking ??

You know very well that the 13 million are of living people, and not from baptisms of the dead. Yet you bring it up over and over, hoping no one will correct. Consider yourself corrected. 13 million living members.

2 how many of those 13 Million mormons are real full members with a temple recommend to go into the mormon gods’ temple ???

About 40%.

3. How many actually attend a service on Sunday ??? Count them just once...

About 40% attend at least one service on Sunday.

9. How many of those 13 million are actually still alive and not dead and still carried on the rolls ???

I am sure there are some at any given time that have died and are "still on the rolls." However, the church is very determined regarding record keeping, and this is a very small number. Certainly, there are some 40-50% included in the 13 million that avoid contact with the church, and therefore their passing on might remain unnoticed for a while. But it is safe to say that there is very few non-living counted in that 13 million. Probably less than a few thousand.

10. How many of those 13 million are still active TBM and not exmos who cant get their names taken off the rolls ???

When I was ward clerk I saw this process up close. It can be difficult for folks to get their names off the rolls. The process can take months or longer. However, it is not a symptomatic conspiracy. The vast majority is the failings of the unpaid humans that are running things. Of the 13 million about 40% or so (the temple recommend holders and their children) are "TBM"s.

and about 2,600,000 in the US...

So every member attending a meeting on Sunday is a card carrying templ recommend member ???

Thank you for that admission...

But as the dead members are kept on the rolls until they are 110 and thats a good 30-50 years in most cases after they die ...

and the dead members can add up over the last 40 years...

it is probably a LARGE number...

Even long dead “prophets” are still full members...

Then you’d be just the girl to ask ...

Why ???

Since the mormons claim that few of them leave I would think the amount of paperwork is scanty...

And today a simple DELETE would take the “apostates” out of the your system...

Since the title of this article and thread is “Mormon Messages on YouTube Reaching Millions,” it would appear that the mormon leadership is computer savvy...

So, if 40-50% avoid contact with the church, meaning they don't attend, don't pay tithing, may have joined other churches, can you tell me just why the mormon church boasts of having 13 million members? If I don't attend my Christian church for a period of a year or two, don't have contact with it, my membership is dropped....and I don't have to go through a legalistic formal request to be considered a nonmember.

It seems extremely arrogant of the mormon church that it demands a member who wishes to break contact and be considered a nonmember must register a formal "request" to do so.

Reminds me of "The Hotel California", "You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave!" .
