Why girls 14-18 and not the guys? Bloody may as well call em Candy Stripers

"Young Women ages 14-18 will actively participate in 'ministering.'"

The boys are too preoccupied to minister with their priestly duties? Why surely they jest.

It won't be elective, mark my words. Forced volunteerism will be more like it.

Per the news, they said "like the boys have been doing all along."

Yep. The boys have been doing HT with an older man for a long, long time.

Got to keep the kids actively engaged lest they have any more time to spend surfing the net, the real All American pastime. Places like RfM are just a click away!

Shouldn't it be "girls a few months shy of their 15th birthday"?

Oh, my. Wide-eyed, sincere teeny-boppers

bearing their testimonies all over my living room carpet. I'll be sure to have the Kleenexes ready.

sending 14 year old girls out to minister seems dangerous, and its like the church is using them as sexual bait.

Back when I was a 14-18 year-old boy, I would have loved it if 14-18 year-old girls came and did "home teaching."

That would have held my interest far more than the two old guys who came monthly and harassed my dad about not going to church, and did nothing else.

It was always two older men who came to my house and basically talked to my dad for--it seemed like forever. All of us kids hated it, but we sat there under threat of later physical violence.
