Woody Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Just a tease - In contrast, the Seventh-day Adventist Church, which had about 17 million members a year ago, appears to be getting a better return on investment: It builds smaller meeting houses and lots of schools and hospitals, and its numbers are swelling faster than the Mormons', said Stewart. The Adventists claim a million new members join annually, compared with every three years or so for the Mormons. "The Seventh-day Adventists clearly have a much more expansive humanitarian project in terms of building hospitals and medical schools and schools and universities and long-term developmental infrastructure around the world," said Stewart. "It's paid off for them." http://openchannel.nbcnews.com/_news/201...lysis-indicates Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.

Moderators Jeannieb43 Posted August 16, 2012 Moderators Posted August 16, 2012 The Mormon church has no paid clergy. Their bishops are all volunteer positions. Just think what bountiful benefits our church could produce if none of our pastors were paid a salary! Quote Jeannie<br /><br /><br />...Change is inevitable; growth is optional....

Moderators Nan Posted August 18, 2012 Moderators Posted August 18, 2012 I think - at least it was once so - that the only paid positions in the Mormon congregations are their building supervisors. Quote
