And what compromises will they make to create wards where they can't really justify them?
I was once in a stake that had to be created on very short notice with a skeleton crew of leaders. They made quite a few compromises to create it, and then for decades afterward had to bring in men from other stakes to fill positions for which they had not "priesthood" available. (It's not like they can have a woman fill in for Sunday school president, can they? You know... What with no penis, and all that.) There were a couple of wards headed by bishops called from other stakes. Yet without this false sense of splitting and making new church units, the Mormons cannot possibly hope to make it look like there is any growth, and that's superficially really, really important.
Now it appears they have created not one, but two stakes in Rome, Italy, where local people say that the church even support one good district. Is that true? What kind of compromises did they have to make? The Mormon church will have to continue to split wards, stakes, and missions to give the appearance of growth. What kind of compromises will they make in future wards in order to give the appearance of growth where there is none?
