I did learn that LDS is growing by 500,000 per year. Seems high to me and I am sure that is not all from convert

Ask for proof of that. Seriously.
There are several sources (I can find them if you would like) that shows the LDS is at a 0% growth rate and almost all of their numbers come from children born to members (aka Children of record). Their convert retention rate past the one year mark (required to even consider going to the temple) is less than 50%.
They are hemorrhaging in huge numbers and have been for the last several years. Yet the members still push the lie the leaders tell them that it is the “fastest growing church in the world” (the SDA’s passed them a few years ago).
I thought I had read an article last year posted by colofornia seeing the same attrition and stacking the deck with “Coffee Can” conversions.
Who are SDA?
