Radio Free Mormon: 33: Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics Pt 1

RFM todays tackles the growth of the Church.  In this part 1 episode RFM dives into how the Church used growth as a witness of the truthfulness of the Church in past decades and utilized the Book of Daniel and the Stone cut out of the mountain without hands.  Then he takes multiple General Conference talks and other media soundbites to show that the Church as an institution most assuredly framed itself in this way.  He concludes setting up episode 2 where now that Church growth has become stagnate and perhaps even receding, that the Church is in the process of removing such a framework and creating a new narrative.
