    With all the talk of new temples something came to my mind concerning new names as given in temples (personally born in the church and served a mission back in the 70's then left the church in 86's) I started wondering what "new names" are given in an overseas temple. I'm wondering if they are the same English names we were given or are they localized in the lingua franca of that country?
    For instance, are Japanese new names given in temples in Japan? If not what would be the logic for that?
    Keep your shows coming I enjoy the straight talk you offer in your productions.

    I read an article yesterday and the women said they had closed her ward and the new one had no youth programming. Her child was the only kid and she wanted her child to have the youth programming she did growing up. I believe she was in CO.

    Can someone please give a source for the 7% decrease in Scotland? I’m really interested to see the details on this 👍

    I think the church will try hard to show growth through keeping number of units and stakes, as well as number of missions. The church will shrink the size of these by having fewer members/missionaries per unit / mission - but they DON’T want to show a decrease in unit numbers

    On the lives, there are people who actually comment to you and I quote, "it's a prophecy that the membership in the church will decline."

    Yes, new stakes means new church growth which isn’t what anti’s want to hear. I’m the membership clerk in my ward, we average 112 members ea. week at sacrament, which is slightly higher than we had 10 years ago, and church membership growth has increased, every year.

      Pentecostalism is the fastest growing variant of Christianity. Does it matter?

      We don’t care if the church grows or not but growth in stakes does not equate to growth if you simply add stakes by putting fewer wards in each stake. The church has all the numbers but refuses to publish them. One has to ask why?
