In the church's latest plea for donations, they stated they now have 68,700 full-time missionaries. Given the current overlap, that kind of makes sense although that's an increase of nearly 9,700 missionaries from what they reported in conference just two months ago, a 16% increase. I guess it's possible now that school is out and this is the peak season for young men to go out right after graduation... What I call bullshit on is the claim that by fall, they'll have 85,000 missionaries. 85,000 from 59,000 is a 44% increase in just six months! Anyone else find those numbers incredibly suspect? I'm guessing that with many other "statistics" the church provides, they're fudging their numbers in an effort to guilt more members into donating...
