What do you say to someone who goes on and on about how wonderful a missionary is going to be and then he comes home after a short time on a Medical Release and you want to call bullshit?
If they are taught that drivel about "how wonderful your mission will be!" from toddlerhood on, they can't possibly make an informed decision about it.
How many stories have we read here about people who crashed and burned, one way or another, on their missions? In the "old days," missions were like a prison sentence. There was NO getting out early. If you did, you would be under a cloud of disgrace for the rest of your life, or until you resigned. (Mileage may vary.)
We are hearing stories now about kids who bail from the MTC, and that's great! If the "Medical Release" thing is the only way out, hey - take it and run.
Stop by Chez Catnip on the way home, and we will take you out for dinner!!
I had medical problems on my mission. Never got released. They did transfer me to a new mission. I got a second mission call signed by the prophet. I was having respiratory problems.
If that person owes you money, collect it before you call bullshit!
Your opinion about the 'truth' of a situation is hardly ever welcomed, but usually is fun to give, assuming you are knowledgeable about the fall-out and can handle it.
Blowing up bridges as a normal course of action is not recommended, but most of us have pushed the plunger a time or two...
Well, maybe the missionary was "wonderful" for however many months that he served as a volunteer. Only the Mormon church feels that it is owed a full two years.
