My TBM son is finishing his stateside mission and getting ready to come home. His letters speak of first missionary lessons with potential converts only to have them refuse second lessons. He's only had one convert baptism that was mostly due to previous missionaries. So, obviously, some information is turning potential converts away.
Here are my top three deterants for converts:
Coming in at #3--LD$ inc doesn't disclose finances and potentials learn about lavish building projects such as a City Creek
Coming in at #2--investigators are not told about Morg sexual policies and find out that everything from gay sex, oral sex, and masturbation are gross sins in the Morg.
And in top place, #1--despite the faith-promoting description of Joseph Smith, potentials discover his polyandry and young teenage girl conquests.
Your thoughts, The Boner.
