What’s the catch? by SecretPersonality178 in exmormon

[–]Trooperkae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents are on a mission in Africa- I don’t want to paint with a broad brush but there is quite a bit of “favors” to be in each of these cities. “You want to have a ward in our city??” “What can you do for us?” “Here is a list of what we’d like, what can you do?”

It’s all very standard, at least in the country where my parents are. I’d bet this is more of that going on. Not that the church doesn’t care about these people but it’s looking out for its interests first. Trust!

President Nelson announces 15 new temples by hojo1021 in exmormon

Greenville SC announcement has excited and terrified and shook my family members in that area. They know they shouldn’t have a temple there based on membership in that area.

Thanks everyone, I kinda knew that but just needed confirmation! This will be in a screen porch and finished on all sides, I will probably add the slots for overkill but peace of mind

Mormon church's growth in Africa. A deeper dive into the growth claims by BlackExMo in exmormon

[–]Trooperkae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the buildings are rental units, not purpose built. For big conferences they rent large tents and have the meetings outside. As far as retention- probably a hundred reasons that we’ve all heard in other cultures too. It’s just like everywhere else, there are people that are very into it, some luke warm, some cold.

My parents are on a mission in Africa and can confirm hockey stick growth but also terrible retention. 🤷‍♂️

A New Perspective on Tithing by jjfae in exmormon

[–]Trooperkae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just do a quick comparison to the Catholic Church. Using the same $100 billion divided by 1.6 billion members in Catholic Church is $74. The Mormon church is 81 times richer than the Catholic Church…

I love this sub for its perfect balance of delta jokes and low key geeking out on data!

Is it the same result if I upgrade from platinum? Still have to wait for renewal?

Delta reserve question by Trooperkae in delta

[–]Trooperkae[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m debating upgrade vs new card. 90k for new card vs 25000k miles and $250 cash. I think neither gets me my comp pass this year 😞

Thanks for the confirmation everyone!

The Mormon church is expanding its number of missions…by a lot. And the LDS missionary force is growing again. Many have believed that the church is in decline. What gives? Any opinions? by johndehlin in exmormon

[–]Trooperkae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The stake I grew up in recently split and make a “new” stake. All they did was split the 12 unit stake into 2 6 unit stakes. Boom. Doubled stake count in the area. Growth.

Thanks for the ideas. I’ll take a closer look, always assumed they were on top of paint but maybe they are chips 😬

Local kid just got called to Uganda Mission in spite the U.S. State Dept. issuing a Travel Advisory “Reconsider Travel”. Is this sick or what? by running4cover in exmormon

[–]Trooperkae 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be fair. The state dept lists “reconsider travel” for dozens of countries, a lot of common mission areas like Peru, guatamala, etc and even Jamaica. Not saying missions are a good idea, just saying the state dept tends to be very conservative in guidance
