  1. Well I want to go for the experience of helping social skills, and the window of opportunities that former missionaries talk about, because I want to become a police officer down the line possibly. So I kind of feel a little guilty for going because I want blessings for myself. I would love the blessings I get later, but going around tracting all day and answering the same questions over and over sounds kind of like a drag to me.
  2. I know according to the regulations of missionaries I'm not too old, but I'm almost 22 now and I feel that I will be a little too old, and not in the right point in my life being a business manager, realtor, and with an associates degree in business management. Don't tell me you never considered the cons when you went on a mission.
  3. Well I apologize, but comments like that don't help me. What if you made a comment that you had a hard time supporting your children and paying bills at the same time, and I said uhhhh.... then get a job. I dont' have children, but it that is how it feels to have somone say that to me.
  4. I just thought maybe you were trying to make fun of me or something. Basically, I just said my reasons not to go are. 1. The money 2. Being away from my family for 2 years 3. My age, by the time I'd be ready to go I'd be over 22, going on 23 and I think that going on a mission at that point of my life is a little unusual. 4. My depression, I think my stress and depressed moods might not be an asset as a missionary, and being away from my home may make it worse. The sports thing I mentioned before is a big deal to me, but I can overlook that. I just meant waiting for a Cleveland team to win a championship is something I've been waiting for before I joined the church, and not being here to witness it would be hard, but I wouldn't skip a mission for that reason.
  5. Well who am I as a person? Why would I be on here asking for input if I wasn't seriously considering it? I wasn't even asking on your input about me going on a mission, I was simply asking what the cost is, and ways to get around having to pay what you cannot afford. Then other people come on here saying stuff like I need to get a job, which I have one, and other insults they can think of. Yes there are other reasons besides the money that are keeping me from going forward, but what if someone can't afford it?? Are they just not allowed to go then? I just don't get why I come on here and get responses like this. None of you would say this if you were talking to me for real and not typing on a forum.
  6. The point is I'm not making excuses not to go on a mission, but finances are a real problem. I already have money saved up, and I would mind using some for a mission, but I will not pay 9600 to volunteer, it is just out of the question. The church asks you to donate your time and 2 years of your life, and yet they make you pay to do it. And by the way, saying uhhh... get a job, is insulting, and because they don't know me is why. How do you know what kind of bills I have to pay, or how much I make doing the job? For your information, I am a college student, I do work full time as a restaurant manager, and part time as a real estate agent. I will tell you if I do go on a mission, I am not going to be the same as everyone else, I will be my own person. I will be nice and helpful to people as I can, but as soon as they start talking about crap they read on the internet about my church, or putting it down, that is when I walk out the door and say, we'll you are good enough for our church anyway so I am glad you do feel that way about it.
  7. Okay well first of all saying get a job is insulting because I have one, and saving up that much money isn't financially feasible for a job for a 21 year old. Maybe I shouldn't go on a mission because I think I'd have a hard time dealing with pathetic people like you.
  8. How do they expect 19 year olds to be able to afford that?
  9. 107?? Sure... If you were 107 you wouldn't even be mentally stable enough to use a computer.
  10. and I live in Cleveland by the way. The Cavs didn't even have LBJ or anyone spectacular in 1995-96 when I first started to watch.
