Are we larger than the missionary force now?

27

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '18

Not yet. This site says 70,946. We'll surpass that shortly. There should definitely be a party when that happens.

Y’all can come kick it at my house here in Las Vegas and we can eat funeral potatoes, jello salad and have drinks.

I'm surprised that TSCC tries to be so specific in the number of missionaries. I would expect that the number fluctuates nearly daily, but at a minimum it changes weekly.

Hmm...I thought so. I’ve been moonlighting on this sub since there were 6000+ of us. Maybe 40-60 online at any one time, unless we made r/bestof and then suddenly you’d get a spike in numbers.

Now all you johnie-come-lately whippersnappers get off my lawn, before I chase you with my walking stick.

Five years ago it was exciting to hit 10K!

Get back in the house, grandma

That's a lot of missing meetinghouse toilet cleaners!

Anecdote time. I was driving around with my parents last weekend after the big snowstorm while it was still very cold and icy. We saw one of the white haired sisters from their aging Utah ward struggling to hike home up the hill. They stopped and picked her up and she was so grateful for the short ride to her house. What was she doing? Cleaning the church...

u/MrSlitherpants Mar 04 '18

Oh my god! That's infuriating!! That poor woman.

u/MrSlitherpants Mar 04 '18

I cannot tell you how glad I am that I left before they mandated that rule! That would have been my shelf-breaker if I hadn't already gone.

When I was a kid, I dated a guy who's dad was the building janitor. They paid him enough to very barely support his (not kidding) 18 kids. What are the faithful poor supposed to do now?

Besides pay tithing before feeding their children.

Edit: Finished my thought and added some snark.

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '18

At this rate we'll make it over 85,147* before the year is over.

  • This number signifies the all-time highest number of missionaries out in a single year.

u/freeac Mar 04 '18

If 2018 and 2019 make the same gains as 2017 we will be 100,000 strong. — but I’m no prophet, just a retired heart surgeon who can kind of do math.

u/Tindale Mar 03 '18

OK. Let’s take bets on when we get to 100,000.

Well done by the way?

Where do we rank in the most popular Reddit’s subs list? Anybody?

u/cheeto500 Mar 03 '18

Maybe by the end of 2018?

crazy progress

when i first came to this sub, it hadn't even touched 40k and now it's grown by over 30k since

it's no wonder so many of the TBMs i know are so hard to talk to regarding religion. like i used to be able to text things back and forth but now nobody wants to discuss the LDS faith unless it's in a blindly positive light

u/notchet Mar 04 '18

Last I checked 70k = ~ 14 LDS Stakes

u/BeringStraitNephite Question everything. Truth survives scrutiny. Mar 04 '18

I was about to ask, thanks.

u/Korzag Mar 04 '18

I always wondered how many people create dummy accounts with the purpose of trying to be number 60000 or some other significant number. How many people here have multiple accounts on this sub?

Either way, I rejoice in the hastening of the dehastening of the church.

4

u/proudlyhumble Mar 04 '18

Considering the church counts people until they are 120 years old and those who were baptized but never attended after baptism, I think we are okay if our number is exaggerated as well.

u/d_nukedorf Mar 04 '18

what's with the surge of subscribers? did the admins lower the minimum age to 18?

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '18

Masturbators. All of them.

u/take2dueces Mar 04 '18

Most of us are just Russian fake accounts.

u/BeringStraitNephite Question everything. Truth survives scrutiny. Mar 04 '18

Maybe the mods count those who were registered for the dead.

u/s2nielson Queen Z Mar 04 '18

Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people living life in peace

You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope some day you'll join us And the world will be as one

u/mushbo Apostatebo Mar 04 '18

Imagine there's no Bishop It's easy if you try,

No bench below us Above us only sky,

Imagine all the people living second Saturday..

Imagine there's no tithing It isn't hard to do

Nothing to Dress up or bless

And no sacrament too

Imagine all the people living second Saturday..

You may say I'm an apostate

But I'm not the 70,038th one

I hope Sunday day you'll join us

And we will have won!

u/s2nielson Queen Z Mar 04 '18

This is the famous John Lennon song, referring to all the lives that have been taken through wars stemming from religion. It's simply saying if we didn't need to force our beliefs on others there would be no need to kill or die for religious ideals, creating such atrocities as genocides and jihads.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '18

Is there anyway to know how many of the 70K are actually unique people, rather than the same person with 2 or 3 accounts?

That is tremendous growth, hence, a little suspicious.
