With the talk of the HTW programs and firing up the base, and getting the members to recruit more, like sales pitches and whatnot....
My thoughts on this is; the Mormon church seems bloated at it's middle to upper management levels.
If run completely as a business, they would have to "shed the dead weight, consolidate, and concentrate on its core business(s) and competencies. Does anyone think they could "let go" (retire) some members of the Q70 or out of the GA ranks?
Couple that with the influx of missionaries and the need for them to do some "work", they would get more value for their (recruiting) buck if they were to build schools, homeless shelters, battered women shelters, dig wells, help build water treatment facilities. These are more for countries outside the US but some could apply in the US as well.
Make the missionaries more like Peace Corp workers and they might actually get something accomplished..
just my 2 cents.
