“Well with the leakage to other churches, they need the overkill I guess :-)”
The Mormons are not alone in their quest for babies. The “king of the baby mills church is Catholicism.” At least Mormons don’t restrict birth control. But with all of them it’s about membership and money! My Catholic friends growing up used to call sex “Vatican Roulette!”
“I took my wife there for a week’s vacation once. Really enjoyed it, but quickly learned that if we were going to buy much more than an ice cream sundae or pay admission for an attraction, it was worth our while to make the short drive over to New Hampshire. “
Did you go to Burlington? The last time I was there it reminded me of East Berlin. Lots of bums on the streets, lots of closed up commercial buildings. Just a dour place.
I grew up in New England and have a short list of the things that I like about Vermont...
beautiful terrain for off road enduro riding (m/c)
greenies (the beer, not the enviros)
the Dunham shoe outlet store
Highgate Springs customs station, best to get to Canada (IMO)
some of the people that grew up in Vermont (real Green Mountain people) and a few who moved there
Bellows Falls (because we called it fellows balls)
It’s easy to get cynical I suppose. Even I can.
If you really thought you were smack dab in the middle of a work of God, then I think you’d logically want as many children as possible to be part of it. You might or might not be right about where you are, but you would be right that God wanted it and would bless it.
Multi millions doesn’t buy very much city.
VT is very rural. I’ve hiked & biked most of the whole state. You can go forever & see nothing but woods, especially in the Northeast Kingdom.
The Northeast Kingdom is fairly conservative.....rest of the state not so much.
Got a point there. A couple of modest skyscrapers and there’s your city? Unless you’re thinking of building on the ultra cheap.
Want to build a city of the past?
Build a mosque there.
You have to share. Surely you can find some who hate me too.
Kinda looks like Pyongyang, but greener.
Uh, good luck with that. Vermonters don’t even like Walmarts being built.

Well that’s where the Churches are today. They seemingly don’t care whether or not you have the economic wherewithall to raise a large family, it’s enough that “God wants you to do it” is that it?
If it’s true.
I wouldn’t suggest messing around with a church for any lesser reason. Seriously. And I might be one of the biggest nuts about Jesus Christ on FR.
If what calls itself a church seems to be yacking about God but never looks like God is there, maybe it’s time to look under some other steeple.

What difference does it make
“You have to share. Surely you can find some who hate me too.”
I can do that, Larry. I just remembered that 3 Mormon females knocked on my door last week, along with 7 stray cats. How many can I send you and of which species?
Were they lovely ladies? (Oh, and I don’t mean the cats)
If they cuddle and like to catch mice, I’ll take all you got.
