I'm always looking for ulterior motives, as far as the Mormon cult is concerned.
If membership is dropping, and attendance is dropping, probably the sales of Deseret Books is dropping. Here's a real boost for them! They get to re-publish all the rubbish with "Mormon" in it! Can you imagine all the Mormon literature that needs revising? All those new de-Mormon-ized (demonized) editions will keep them in business for at least the next 6 years. Former Mormons will be forced to purchase them, too, because the prophet said so.
This means more business for sign-makers. All those placards at the various visitors centers and temple grounds will need to be re-done.
I can't imagine how much that whole Madison Avenue hatched media-blitz "I'm a Mormon" campaign must have cost the members. TSCC has their finances arranged, that the members pay for everything, though the corporation and its bigwigs reap the profits.
This is a nasty, EXPENSIVE way for Nelson to throw his weight around.
It's also a desperate, last-ditch attempt for LDS, Inc. to--yet again--try to change the image of it's facade. They don't care what it is, but it must be a viable tax-free front-company, with a good name. A church is the best choice for this. Running a church gives LDS, Inc. that huge tax break.
TSCC is always pleading for more donations, but I believe the corporation would survive very well without the tithing income. It would also survive if they lost their tax exempt status. the Mormon sleazebags want to evade taxes as long as they can, and milk the "members" (members of what?) for every dime they can take.
It would be interesting to find out what connections Nelson has with Deseret Book publishing--oh, wait--I'm thinking as I write--The Dew!
Who is going to benefit from TSCC's next new advertising blitz, to take the place of the old Mormon campaign--Bonneville Productions?
They can't build those expensive temples anymore. There are cheaper ways to scam the minions.
Has anyone asked the question, what will be cut out of the three hour meetings? Relief Society? Not Primary--they need to brainwash the children and keep the parents thinking "(former) Morminism is the best way to raise children." They'll probably cut out Sunday school classes, so as not to give scriptural instruction, not to talk about Mormonism very much at all.
I wonder WHY they don't make church more positive and uplifting? WHY don't they build more group cohesiveness through fun activities? Would that be an expense for the benefit of ONLY the members, with no profit for the Corporation? Is there too much liability these days, with accidents, child abuse allegations, etc? Are parents apathetic, or are they not letting strangers take such a huge role in raising their kids? What's going on?
