You send people for therapy?  That's rough. 

I don't think that's what I said.

Give me a break.

I will be more clear.

There are people who belong to this church, it is called The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  Some people call it the LDS Church, and sometimes its members are referred to as "Mormons" or "LDS".  There are a lot of these people in Utah, but some of them live in places other than Utah.  As people (LDS or anyone else) get older, they decide what they want to do for a living.  Some of them go into the field of social services, psychology, or counseling.  They typically receive education and training in this field in order to be licensed or to be considered qualified by their peers and the public in general.  If these people happen to be LDS, they may be referred to as "qualified LDS counseling professionals."  If such a person were a Baptist, he may be referred to as a "qualified Baptist counseling professional."

Oh, I totally misread you there, my mistake.  I thought you were suggesting Bishops outside of Utah were having a harder time finding counselors with an LDS slant than those in Utah, as if those without this slant were somehow deficient in their ability to help.

"Outside of Utah, the number of qualified LDS counseling professionals is limited, because per capita, there are fewer LDS in some areas of the country than in Utah."

In this light, why yes, that is interesting ratio, so is the cost of tea in China.

It reminds me of my all time favorite triple negative.  From the Family Ties theme song, "there ain't no nothing we can't love each other through".

I count four negatives in that one.

You still manage to somehow miss the point.

Not worth any further effort on my part.

Oh I'm pretty sure I understand your point, best for members to see member counselors.
