In Part 2 of our explosive series, a former Mormon missionary blows the whistle on the business strategies employed by mission presidents to boost convert baptisms. This episode uncovers the corporate-style tactics used within the LDS Church, revealing how mission presidents prioritize numbers over genuine spiritual growth. Through insider accounts, expert analysis, and a deep dive into the intersection of religion and business, we expose the manipulative practices driving the church’s growth agenda.

  • Business Models in Missions: Learn how mission presidents use sales techniques, quotas, and performance metrics to pressure missionaries into achieving higher baptism numbers.

  • Former Missionary Testimony: Hear a firsthand account from a whistleblower who witnessed these strategies in action and grappled with the ethical dilemmas they faced.
  • The Cost of Conversion: Understand the psychological and emotional toll on both missionaries and converts when faith is reduced to a business transaction.

Why Listen?

  • Discover the hidden parallels between high-demand religion and corporate culture.
  • Recognize the signs of coercive control and manipulation in religious settings.
  • Equip yourself with knowledge to heal from or protect against exploitative practices.
