Besides polygamy, the Mormon Church is best known for its missionaries. That may be because there are so many of them. Consider these numbers:
The Corporate Structure of the Mormon church
The Mormon church is actually a corporate conglomerate. Behind the religious front are dozens of companies earning hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
The Strengthening Church Members Committee
In the heat of the 2012 US presidential elections featuring Mormon candidate Mitt Romney, the BBC interviewed church spokesman Michael Purdy about the Strengthening Church Members Committee. Purdy’s first reaction was to deny any knowledge of such a committee.
When pressed by journalist John Sweeney, however, he admitted it existed after all but pretended to know very little about it. Purdy’s body language – no eye contact, blushing, stammering – as well as the fact that his first instinct was to lie about it, indicate he was not at ease with this question. Why not?
