My neighbours next door to me were Mormons. I really didn't know this, and they never revealed this to me, It was later when two Mormon Elders came to my house, and told us about them. They also mentioned that they were inactive. Since then I always wondered what Mormons have to do to become inactive. They only do missionary service for two years. Does their inactivity have something to do about their tithing?

Mormons getting hollowed out: The tipping point has occurred.
by Qcmbr inever since mitt romney turned the spotlight on the lds church a growing tsunami of disaffection has been accelerated and brought to a head.. the lds core faithful members are leaving in increasing numbers such that growth has not simply stagnated in the west but it has actively reversed.
to their credit the church is responding aggressively but not only is it too late, it is an impossible task.
you can only paint sh*t so many ways.

i freely admit that the above sounds too good to be true (no side effects??
) but it makes for interesting reading.. metatron.

I was shocked recently when I went to a congregation BarBQue, and noticed this odd couple. A older women in her 7o's, married a young pioneer in his 20's. She was a widow, and developed an interest in this young man who was her tenant. I guess being free from paying rent has it's advantages. But something was missing. there was no romance, no holding hands, no laughter, no honeymoon. Maybe, that would have made the guests sick. She was inactive and he was a regular pioneer. Do you think that their are some hidden agendas in this one?

A very good video, but once the Elders find out, it may get censored. I appreciated the counter arguments from the brother and sister.
This shows just how judgmental the cong can be. The elders, although sincere, needed this humbling experience of talking to someone that were intelligent. I did appreciate the comment of one Elder who stated that some new matters were brought to his attention that he didn't think of before. He was showing concern for the family at the end. It was a good Awake magazine that was the Ace that the couple had up their sleeve.
Thanks for posting this

Going to the territory you live in - in your area?
by A question inhow emphasized was it to go to the congregation that you lived in the territory of?
how many did so?.

A KM did address this matter. It stated that each individual must decide based on circumstances, which congregation to attend. But, if there are no good circumstances, then they will emphasize that you go to the one you are assigned to. Some congregations in Canada are so packed that they give you the option to go to another one. I don't exactly remember where that KM is.
Servants who don't go to where they are assigned, will be dealt with, and you may not receive any privilledges, if you attend an unaasigned cong.

Now this really must be the end. Fearful things in the sky. Senior Citizens flying with their new cadillacs just above you. Maybe living in a basement appartment isn't so bad after all.

I slightly remember the 2009 Drama on the Prodical Son. Wasn't the father in the drama so cold in comparison to the kind father in Jesus's illustration?

Thanks for the update.
I can just imagine how the DVD will reinforce the rigid rule of treating family members who have DA, or DF in a cold manner. At the end of it will be a singalong. "Listen and Obey", but this time adults will sing it, along with Caleb's parents.
