Read the judging metrics.

that's STILL asking me to draw my own conclusions about the metrics, and I could produce many MANY different conclusions:

non-LDS citizens having moved to the state for work over the last decade or two.

non-LDS businesses having moved to state for different reasons including turism.

better able to conceal state budget shortfall making everything appear peachy-keen.

what is YOUR conclusion?

if it's in any way related to the church you'd better be prepared to have the negative statistics also apply to the church.

did I overlook any OT: Politics #4 thread? hard to believe this thread hasn't been bumped.

anyway, curious to get predictions on 3 potential allegations simultaneously (Benghazi, DoJ phone taps, IRS harassment)...

An article in the current MOTHER JONES tells about how the LDS are putting the skids on their virulent anti-gay programs after they got severly burned and lost members after spending $20 million and sending busloads of people to canvass against California's Prop 8.  The Mormons were quiet as mice when the last three states legalized gay marriage, but Boyd Packer, the heir apparent to the "prophet's" throne, promises to once again attack the gross immorality of gay couples.  Some people never learn.

It sounds as though the LDS leadership have shown where their heads lie in thinking that "'The gays' is all about sex.", i.e. in the gutter. 

This is not to say that the Mormons have had a change of heart about gay marriage. The church is still adamantly opposed to it. On April 6, during the LDS's annual conference, Boyd Packer, who is next in line to assume the church's top leadership post, warned, "We need to be careful of the tolerance trend trap, so that we do not get swallowed up in it. The permissiveness afforded by the weakening of the laws of the land to tolerate and legalize immorality does not reduce the serious spiritual consequence that is the result from a violation of God's law of Chastity."
