Did anyone claim other people and institutions can't have any influence on others? does the fact that anyone could help my mother in law move change the fact that it was the missionaries helping us that day? and who else can give priesthood blessings? 1

How is it not relevant? You seemed to suggest the Church has more influence because members help others. How is members helping others the Church's influence if everyone on earth helps others?

Smith said: So, with an overall Utah population of 2,996,000, we have 1 million attending LDS Sacrament Meeting on any given Sunday, while 850,000 Mormons don't bother to attend, and 850,000 non-members also don't attend? Where is the leftover ca. 300,000? Who might they be? How does that compare with activity rates in other states and other religions? And, how does this look if we graph it for the past 100 years? https://www.google.com/#q=population+of+utah . In Calif sacrament attendance runs about 40% We'd love 55%!
