As told told to me by a former LDS comptroller (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) :
-->Japanese converts to LDS seldom continue more than three years (99% attrition rate).
-->Young Mormon missionaries have a 60% failure rate in language bootcamp in preparation for Japan (the "failures" often develop life-long mental difficulties caused by the brutal training methods).
-->Most "successful" Mormon missionaries end up leaving the church by the end of their mission (the church loses their best-and-brightest to Japan).
-->"Unsuccessful" Mormon missionaries develop drinking and/or poontang problems (because they integrated well into Japanese society).
-->Those who complete a mission in Japan cannot be trusted when they return to Utah (similar attitude as large corporations in the US that automatically throw out resumes with Japan experience).
Bottom Line: The best the Mormon Church can expect from Japan is a a zero-sum game, and the reality is that the church loses every time they send a missionary here.Also: Mormon missionaries use their mission years as a way to come out of the closet.
Gay missionaries give the church an additional headache, which the church has
not figured out how it should be handled.

I remember when I went for a walk early in the morning in the hills behind the previous place I lived, I encountered a man and woman, dressed like Jehovas, who were emerging from the bushes.
Rather than spreading their faith, I figured they were spreading her legs.
LOL, that was the first time Jehovas didn't attempt to convert me...
