LDS church membership statistics

I have no stats, I will just say that rampant breeding does stuff and I don't think it's a coincidence that many religions push their congregations to reproduce like vermin.

Is mexican a religion?
Seems like they have large familias

Are NBA players a religion? I read somewhere that it was estimated that for every NBA players there is probably 1 out of wedlock child if averaged out.
They believe in big families, although spread out around the US.

Turkey comes to mind.

This singular contribution is enough to absolve Turkey of any wrongdoing for centuries to come.

I don't know that I would call it rampant but the LDS faith clearly has larger families then the US average. As one from a large fmaily I have to say that I love it.

I think large families are great for people that can support them but the LDS church need to separate themselves from people's bedrooms. The fact that poor LDS families pop out 10 kids because they assume that's what God wants is just wrong.

I completely agree. Have as many kids as you want as long as you can provide for them.

I don't know why you invite church leaders into your bedroom, but that has never been the case for me. I have never been encouraged or dissuaded from having as many or few children as my wife and I want and can handle.

Your example of "poor" LDS families having large families is pretty lame.

It's no more your business to tell a couple they have too many kids as it would be for a LDS church leader to tell a couple to have more kids, which I doubt actually happens. I personally feel a couple should only have as many children as they can handle financially, mentally, physically, and in any other way. That call though is up to them.

While you may have your opinion about what is right, you are telling people what to do just as much as the imaginary church leader in your example.

Geez beantown, stay out of people's bedrooms.

No they are not literally invited but you already knew that Spazz. However you cannot deny that the Church is very heavily family oriented. It is one of its main tangents. That leads to a atmosphere or almost pressure if you will, to have large families.

Pressured to have large families? Lol
