What is the total # of Morgs now worldwide? I would like to see how it breakdowns by country (or at least continents) in percents....might be on the internet. I'll check. I read where there are 4 leaving for every one joining/being born in. Does anyone know? I wonder too of the Morgs, how many are temple Morgs? I think some are very inactive but still counted in the total because their is on the membership list. That is another reason to have you name takeen off/permanently removed. Don't give them the satisfaction of making their numbers one more. My two cents.

to show the world how "normal" Mormons are. How appropriate that the photo was of a gooey casserole dish of Funeral Potatoes. All that was missing in that photo op were five dirty children underfoot.
At least the writer had the good sense to state "the church says it has 14 million", instead of reporting it as fact.
"Ms. Spackman says that in her congregation, in Brooklyn, the tradition of socializing with food and sharing recipes is just as strong as it was when she was growing up in Logan, Utah. Only the recipes have changed. “Now the recipe is more likely to be a grapefruit curd or a new kind of granola bar than a casserole,”
I lived about 5 blocks from the referenced "congregation" for 8 years (luckily, they had no idea of my existence), and it sits in a neighborhood filled with amazing old Italian delis and restaraunts. Not to mention newer generation boutique artisinal food purveyors. Also, the congregation seemed to be predominantly West Indian. If they couldn't evolve out of the Mormon food stereotypes, nobody could.

What a gaggy article. It's basically highlighting how women's whole purpose in the church is to pop out babies and make cheap food. And the woman who wanted to be a writer, but had a family instead, so now she blogs???? It's just sad.
Or maybe this is just me projecting my own feelings that my life/education/career were all hijacked by TSCC. I bought the lies, I got married at 19, I had a 3 kids by the time I was 26, and FINALLY got a bachelor's degree 13 YEARS later. And I was one of the lucky ones. I ONLY had 3 kids, and I eventually got a degree. Many morg women never even do that.
Oh, and the comment about how sugar is the big mormon vice, LOL. Yep, it's no wonder so there are so many fat mormons. Food is the only thing they have to live for.
