His Emails are checked by somebody, if not every time, but quite possibly. I am not sure who is checking though. Missionaries and what they are doing are watched all the time. He is not supposed to say ANYTHING negative about his mission. So, your prediction is 100% correct. They are practicing, "fake it till make it!" My son's emails were All positive and happy. After he came home,

LDS Mission is a boot camp for the Nazi-youth to get them ready for the lifetime of service in the church. It is a real initiation into the cult. The leaders are very aware of the mess and the results; however, since they know the real purpose of it, they do nothing to resolve. My son was asked to give a After-Mission talk 2 1/2 months after his mission (waited, due to the traumatic brain i

Thank you, NeverMojohn! Sure, it does not matter whom he marries. He wants to marry a Mormon girl but if they don't want him, that is OK. Mormon girls tend to think in a small boxes and would not come out of them. Thank you for the warm message which means a lot to me!

Dear praydude, I am so sorry to hear you suffered from parasite infestation. I've heard many horror mission stories but never thought it would happen to my son. Yes, I will take care of him and show him love no matter what. Our son knows the problems of the church. Surprisingly, most of his missionary companions knew too. In fact, they knew everything! He hasn't hit the point where he c

Dear Summer, Thank you so much for such a warm concern you've shown to me. I feel for some reason, Exmormon community is much understanding and warmer than the active Mormons. Perhaps, true Christians tend to leave the fold. Agree?

Dear Smikorama I am so sorry to hear about your parents. Yes, we love our son 1000% more than the church. I've heard the parents say things to save their faces. Good standing in the church and how they are viewed by peers seem more important than the happiness of their children. Definitely,there is something wrong with this. And you became a victim of this practice. If we have to choose betwe

Dear Scmd, I feel so bad reading about the young man coming home from Mission so sick. Parasite infestation is so dangerous it can affect all of your life! I wonder MP was trying to save money. I know each Mission has a budget. for my son, main doctor he was seeing was a retired Mission doctor (family doctor from Utah) living somewhere in Asia covering many Missions and the doctor saw our son t

Dear Cudgie, Thanks for the comments! Sure, if they want to kick us out of the church, go right ahead!!! But they have to know that this is how they make so many enemies in the world.

My eyes were opened even before this accident. For a long time, I was a foyer Mormon or I usually go to only the sacrament twice a month or so. It is my DH who has been active. Our son was not sure about the mission, but, as you know, every young men from his Priest Quorum was pressured to go, so since he did not want to be left out, he went as well. I am aware of the fact this church is very dys

I am so sorry for the missionaries you are referring to. There are so many missionaries out there now. If James dies, his spot can be replaced by John. My son was just a number.

If we voice our opinions, we will be vanished from the church. We will be blessed for the sacrifice, if not in this world, then perhaps after life.

Yes, it is the same. But I believe it is even worse than the past. I never understand the purpose of LDS Mission.

To Heartless, Thank you for your warm sympathy. Support from the church? Financially none. After his arrival, someone named Smith from Utah called him every so many weeks to make sure our son was still active in the church suggesting home-teaching, Temple, etc.We were wondering why this man was keep calling but discovered later it was because of the liability.

Our DS came back from his foreign mission last fall due to the traumatic brain injury caused by an accident. He became unconscious and suffered all the symptoms you can possibly imagine. Worried sick, we asked his mission president to keep him at the Mission Home a little longer, but Mission president was anxious to put him on a plane as soon as possible without neurologist consent.
