The Mormon church is baptizing a quarter million new members a year and bring more that that in as children. That add up to about 5% growth a year. There may be people leaving the Mormons but there are a lot more joining.

Not true. I can provide sources, even from your own members.

The LDS is at a ZERO percent growth rate and that includes the fact that they have changed how they report baptisms to include children of record whereas they used to be reported separately. I can source that as well.

Additionally, Evangelical churches in Utah are bursting with Ex-mos. Also, the ‘activity’ rate is less than 50% for the one year mark.

It isn’t a lie, it is stone cold fact that many are leaving the LDS church, far more than are joining. Many don’t bother to go through the hassle of name removal (and it is a hassle) so are still counted as members but they no longer consider themselves LDS and many have moved on to other churches.

Want sources?

You are correct lying is a stupid thing, so why does the LDS church lie to their members and others about their history, their membership numbers, etc? I left the LDS church when I discovered how many lies they were telling me, even from the stand at General Conference - like the health of then Pres. E.T. Benson when his own son, Reed, told me something vastly different.
