Can you give us a source for this growth rate? Is this a net growth rate? I'd like to see the actual numbers for church membership at the end of every year for the last 20 years. If this is a net growth rate, and it continues, that means the Mormon church would double in 5 years. Is that your expectation? Following is what Jesus said about Growth Rates: Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT.
