    Who have stronger testimonies?

    I am going with Mormons from outside the USA because they often have to reconcile huge cultural differences with church membership.

    I put Utah Mormons as a close second for the exact same reason.

    Utah Mormons
    17.65%

    California Mormons
    14.71%
    5
    Texas Mormons
    14.71%
    5
    East Coast Mormons
    8.82%
    3
    Mormons from other states that don’t matter
    26.47%
    9
    Mormons from outside the USA

    So in coming to that conclusion, you're also taking into account the much lower activity rates overseas?

        Texas mormons and mormons outside the USA are one and the same. Just group those together.

          I agree. To sit through some of those SS and EQ lessons in Utah was a big trial of my faith. Utah Mormons are the biggest freaks and thus it takes a stronger testimony to put up with them.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

              Yes, I've taken everything into account.

              And by the way, why do you hate foreigners so much?

                this brings up a question regarding the definition of a "strong testimony." Is the strength of one's testimony basically equivalent to one's dedication and loyalty to the church?

                Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

                  Because they hated me first.

                    Right. Well, and testimony of what? Testimony of Jesus Christ? Testimony that the Latter-day Saint religion is the one true church?
