It's a very confusing time.

There is a mentality that being persecuted means you are righteous, so some may relish the idea of shrinking the Church membership and receiving their mark of approbation to show off their own righteousness. In short, you are probably on to something. The leadership is completely misreading the bulk of its younger members and are completely out of touch with them. The Church had and still has a chance to be relevant, but is showing the times have outpaced their leadership abilities.
