When photoshopping, don't forget about lighting and shadows.

Actually the shadow on the jacket is pretty spot on. Likely just a fortunate (or unfortunate) screen grab.

If you look at the fingers on the shadow, from left to right, they're all the same height. This conflicts with the hand casting the shadow.

It really doesn't matter... it was obviously done for humorous purposes, but the graphic designer in me can't help but nit pick bad photoshopping.

Another talk that stood out to me was Elder Scott's description of the stripling warrior's fathers. We hear a lot about the boys, and a fair amount about their mothers, but this was the first time I can remember someone going through what the experience must have been like from the perspective of the fathers. Thought that was really interesting.

How many are active?

Probably around 50%.

Not even close.

I believe it's around 30%....

And to technically be considered "active", you only have to attend a meeting once a quarter I believe. So whats the percent of members that attend almost every week....? Has to be considerably lower.

As the number of people on the roles goes up the number of active members increases as well.

Also not all inactives consider themselves no longer Mormon. I self identify as Mormon but I am not active. So perhaps it would be better to consider numbers of people who consider themselves Mormon v. active members.

Regardless of your personal stance on the LDS church and its theology it is interesting to see the growth of it.


Over 1 million members in UT. (01/2012 stats)

Over 500k in CA. (01/2012 stats)

Over 100k in NV, ID, WA, OR, AZ, CO, TX, FL. (01/2012 stats)

Over 10% of the population in UT, ID and WY. (01/2012 stats)

Over 5% of the population in NV and AZ. (01/2012 stats)

Over 1 million members (names on the membership roles) in Brazil, Mexico and the U.S. (2007 stats)

Over 1/2 a million in Chile, Peru and Phillipines. (2007 stats)

Over 100k in Argentina, Australia, Bolivia, Canada, Columbia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Japan, New Zealand, Nigeria, United Kingdom, Uruguay and Venezuala. (2007 stats)

We are witnessing the birth of a global religion.

Been seeing a lot of "Doubt your doubt, before you doubt your faith" stuff on facebook. Kind of interesting that isn't that what missionaries are effectively asking investigators who are of other religions?
