Seems to have worked for them.

For whom? For the Mormon Church or for the specific individuals? :-/

As far as achieving "communication and organization", probably both?

Edit -- missionary.lds.org is latter day saints. One of their quotes was by a Jehovah's Witness, so I thought this was a guide for Jehovah's Witnesses. If the question is "Does it work for the specific individuals in the Mormon Church?" the answer is yes.

Jehovah's Witnesses != Mormons, even though both are known for door-to-door solicitation. Reliable statistics are thin on the ground, but the Mormons seem to be doing a little better than average in terms of personal socioeconomic status. (BYU is not, however, an unbiased source.)

You are correct. I'm not sure where I got the idea that LDS was Jehovah's Witnesses.

I don't think it's money we're talking about here.

Money is what the link I was replying to was talking about.

How'd you manage to strikethrough part of your post? I thought the markup for that had been disabled.

"hello, world".replace(/(.)/g, '\u0336$1') == "h̶e̶l̶l̶o̶,̶ ̶w̶o̶r̶l̶d̶"
