are pretty much out of the picture and no longer have any say because we have either left the church or are inactive. Nothing we say or do here will ever change the Church except for helping the occasional questionner to also see the light and head for the exits as well.

Revolution can only come from within. This is why I respect the occasional questionner who stays in the Church with the intent of fixing it from within instead of just heading for the exits.

So, to all you who see the good that's there, (yes, there is some good!) and who are willing to spend the time and effort to make it better, I say good luck and wish you well.

Everything in this life is temporary. We are constantly changing.
It's the natural way of things.

I'm particularly grateful, I have the power in my life to make a lot of changes of my own choice and by decision. That is not true everywhere.

TSCC is all about public perception and P.R.

This is why it keeps morphing.

Your claim is bunk !

The fact that we are out speaks volumes about us. That's why I resigned.

of us have resigned. Hell, my family and I have resigned!

But my belief is that the Church won't actually change until the people still in the Church make it change. Why would the Church care what a bunch of us exmos think anyway.

Its similar to the revolution in Egypt. People who have left Egypt because of the oppressive regime really didn't influence the revolution. It was the people who stayed that brought the regime down.
