Good now maybe they can get some of those backwards ass laws changed. The Mormon church ruined what Utah could be
- Also, at some point subdivide some of those ridiculously long blocks in SLC (which are their size for theological reasons)
Thank Christ!
As an ex mo I hope it's true! I don't live in SLC and it still feels stifling down in orem.
- Have you tried not living in Orem? SLC is great!
  
  Haha well I moved here because of my job, and I got a steal on a house that I bought for 200k in 2020 that is now 400k.
  But honestly I probably would like slc. Me and gf love going up there via train.
Given that it benefits churches to inflate their numbers, and it's sorely tempting to do so by including those inactive (ones who quit but didn't announce that they quit) we can estimate their numbers to be even lower, but we don't have a means to track undeclared ex-Mormons.
Is the Mormon church still insisting we avoid the term Morman (in favor of member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints or member of the Latter Day Saint movement )?
- The data in article is trying to correct for that. The numbers out of the LDS do show a decline, but it's probably deeper than their numbers show.
  The numbers still aren't perfect, mind you. It's not full survey data, but rather corrections based on nationwide data.
Good, fuck em. Bunch of cultists.
A friend of mine was in Salt Lake City on business recently and went to an artisanal cafe and a craft beer bar, which pretty much suggests that the LDS Church’s grip isn’t what it used to be.
Nature is healing
