My aunt and mother came to visit me this week. Both are TBM. Their entire lives revolve around the church, and they don't even live in the Morridor. My aunt was lamenting because the church redrew her stake boundaries and now she has to travel 18 miles one way to attend her new ward. The stake president announced at her stake conference that the church would not build another meetinghouse until every building had four wards in it because India and China are going to open up to missionaries "soon" and the members in those countries will be so poor that their tithing will not cover the cost of building a meetinghouse or a temple. Apparently, the church is trying to save as much money as possible in the US so that it can spend money on members in those countries.
Oh, the brainwashing in my family is deep. It makes me sad.
Of course, all of us here know why ward and stake boundaries were shuffled.
Is this rumor circulating elsewhere? Or is this just a Colorado thing?
