I need to vent. Mormon mission make me so angry. I have a little brother who is very anxious to serve people. He wants to make a difference in the world and help others, which I think is great and I fully support it. Unfortunately, he can’t seem to get past the whole mission thing. He has said before that he is not going, but then he starts talking about how he wants to help others and for some reason he thinks the only place he can do that is on a mission. I have tried to get him interested in mission trips with Christian group and he has showed some interest, but he always comes back to the Mormon mission. I know it is because it is what all his friends are doing and he doesn’t want to seem uncool (being the cool guy is important to him). I am afraid if he goes he is going to get all caught up in the Mormon experience and the indoctrination and become one of those annoying self-righteous Mormon boys. What is worse is my mom, who is a nonbeliever but still attends the church, is encouraging him. My mom and brother think he can get away with going on a mission and serve others, but not teach the Mormon doctrines (he believes some of the doctrines but not others). I could go on and on about how angry the church and their missions make me, but I think you all get the point. Some word of comfort would be very welcome.
