"Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."
Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead. -

Transition year; lots of energy spent towards the teansition, not the work. 2014 may well be amazingLast edited by Moliere; 04-11-2014, 09:33 AM."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

It looks like the surge in missionaries has resulted in a small improvement in retention.One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.
Woot
I believe religion has much inherent good and has born many good fruits.

Maybe because all of those kids on missions would have gone inactive in college.Originally posted by snowcat View Post"More crazy people to Provo go than to any other town in the state."

I immediately thought of you when I read the "income smoothing" comment:Originally posted by Moliere View Post
I'll be disappointed if the church isn't adhering to generally accepted membership principles (GAMP).I actually made some charts recently on that. It is interesting to see the flux from year to year. It wouldn't surprise me if the church did something the equivalent of how large corporations do "income smoothing," meaning you make great years look good and carry it over for when there is a "meh" year and make that one look better so you get more consistency. I always wonder if they may remove "lost" people more or less depending how the year went in other categories.Comment
