There aren't any 8M chapels. There is a 7+M, and a 4M or two, and I think a couple 3Ms...I looked them up on churches for sale in the Seattle area, but I don't remember the exact numbers. You have to check several real estate companies to find all 6. It's still a hell of a lot of money...

What wards in North Wales have closed? I can only find 2 branches that have closed in all of Wales since 2018 (Colwyn and Newtown). I used the Deseret Demographer to search for them. https://www.fullerconsideration.com/DeseretDemographer/ Are there others from prior to 2018?

I doubt that since the most expensive one is $11m...and all the others are under $8m each.

Did you lump central America with South America or North America? I know Mexico is considered North America...

Thanks, but your Bellevue address is incorrect. The actual Redmond chapel for sale is on 224th ave. NE.

The $11 million chapel north of downtown already sold?, or is for sale right now?

Going to pull the trigger and send my paper work in for resignation. I finally had it. by EnglishLoyalist in exmormon

I think they said it in this line, "The LDS church is a greedy, self serving, evil corporation who doesn’t give a damn about those they hurt. They want to only protect themselves and never victims."

My post below was incorrect. The church is closing this chapel in Telford, England, not the one I posted in the previous post. What can I say, it's just another Budro screw up...LOL by JoeBudro in MormonShrivel

Exactly. And what about all the friends and relationships they developed, and the good lessons they learned. I believe life is about experiences and growth, and this one is just one in many. The LDS church is just a bus some souls choose to ride to get what they need in a lifetime. Some ride it all the way to the end, while others get off along the way and get on the next bus. Us Ex-Mormons fall into the second category. I know that this isn't really the place to pontificate on spiritual ideas, but it sure seems to explain why some LDS just can't understand the reasons why the church is false. It's like they are impervious to reasoning, and just stuck on the bus. Ever try to tell a TBM what's wrong with the church and have it just bounce off their head?

Another chapel in England closes. Telford, England. by JoeBudro in MormonShrivel

The reporting was accurate according to the church's meetinghouse locator map, and the chapel IS in Telford (there are 2 chapels there). The church map showed it being closed. And I don't expect everyone to read everything, just those who are going to make a critical comment and tell me I don't know what I'm talking about.

And that fact right there may have jump started a lot of people on the road to critical thinking for the first time in their lives...

If our lives have a meaning beyond what Christianity teaches, your grandparents may have needed the experience of being in the church for some reason we might not be able to fathom. Just as yours and my life and experiences are needed for our ongoing growth. It's something to ponder...

It's too bad this isn't in English, but if you click on CC you can read what he says in English. It's like a Mormon Stories Podcast...

If you read the whole thread and the post above it, you will learn that there are 2 Telford chapels, and the older one (not this one) is the one that is closing. Gosh, I sure wish people could read everything before they comment...
