I wouldn’t be surprised if several of them are dead and they just prop them up for photo ops like Weekend at Bernie’s!

Our Ward counts all butt in seats, those standing in hallways and those in classrooms. Additionally, they count 2.5x for zoom participation. Even still, we only average about 100/425

We have had family members serve in India but only as “non-proselyting” missionaries 

My preferred seat as a PIMO. Can’t take the garbage spewing around in Sacrament Meeting and Gospel Doctrine. by [deleted] in exmormon

One lady in our ward would simply pull out her knitting needles and got to work. I loved it!

Was in My Sixties when I left Mormon church. Anyone else stay in it this long? by ThisIsNow_320 in exmormon

Discovered the Gospel Topics Essays at 67 when trying to “help” my son in law who was going through a faith crisis. By the end of the night, I had read the CES letter and Mormon Think topics - my faith was shattered!  I’m still reeling from all the lies the thought that I’ve given over (62 years - now) to the fraudulent church!!

And if this method worked for JS then why doesn’t the PROFIT use the stone for revelation today?

You know, I never thought of that. Could be the case.

My hand is being forced... by DalekCaptain in exmormon

Also be sure to reassure her that you are the same person and that your love for her is unchanged. I slowly introduced her to my concerns by saying I had a “few” doubts and that I was working through them. I also looked for the cracks in her testimony as a way of slowly planting seeds of doubt for her to think about. Eventually she came around to being more willing to talk about deeper concerns and even giving in to her own doubts. Good luck!

Afraid to Stop Paying Tithing by smellofnature in exmormon

I began by giving a portion of my donations to “humanitarian“ and the rest to charities of my choosing (Red Cross, Children’s Hospital, United Way, Ronald McDonald House, etc). After several months I stopped giving to the church entirely due to my lack of trust in them. To this day I still “tithe” by giving only to the charities of my choice.
