Some are BIC - Born In the Covenant - so they start getting brainwashed at a VERY early age.
The others who make a decision to join?
I have no clue.
We have all sorts that show up in these threads.
Perhaps we'll get a good discussion going from all involved; from BOTH sides of the aisle.
Seems like those TBMs who are BIC still have to be protected from corrupting influences such as the internet.
No wonder the intermountain Mormon corridor calls itself “Zion”. Control is easier when LDS is the majority.
