Well I am yet to see a headline Mormon church sends aid to starving children round the world

Oculas awesome horror and good ending. Currently watching But I'mm a cheer leader which is a satirical look at gay conversion camps in the US it is helrious

Nice black and white thinking there people are not good or evil, everyone is a mixture. I hope it takes off and they are subsidised but the multi million church who gets their service for free for 2 years.

Thanks for the education. Anyway it isn't really the point it is an expense essential or not that the missionaries don't need on top of everything. Moving on from the cost. I can imagine these being misused the temptation will be great especially when the missionary is home sick and low to just pop on facebook or face timme. Also it would be very easy for them to be taken places where the missionary can be alone. Not saying they shouldn't have them just how will things like these be monitored. Also missionaries visiting poorer countries walking about with high end gadgets might as well put a beacon out for theievs

Or the church could just provide mission presidents with the cash to buy the tablets they will get a discount on multi buts and they lend them to the missionaries and charge for missuse or careless damage You're all speaking as 'rich' westerners only $200 is a massive amount for a poor family. No they haven't but the expectation will probably be there.

Another $400 on top of the costs of a mission, doesn't seem very fair on poor families to me. The church could easily cover the cost of these or choose a cheaper tablet

OK well you have competition for the greatest country in the world from: Norway Denmark, France, the UK, Germany, sweeden, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Spain, Faroe Islands, Iceland, Austria, Belgium, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Liechinstien, Luxemborg, Monoco, the Netherlands, Philippines. All have freedom I am sure their are more but I left of countries that I wasn't sure of or had dodgy pasts/current stuff going on All these countries have freedom, most take care of their vulnerable members and don't fight for the right to have deadly weapons that their children shoot each other with, unlike America. GO USA!

There are many countries who have freedom, doesn't make them the greatest country on the planet.

One of the greatest countries on earth? The country who's citizens are obsessed with their right to have guns, the country whos children shoot each other in schools, has a massive gang problem, will invade any country they can pin the terrorist label on, the country who funds Israeli terrorists. The US claims to be an equal country yet college education is so expensive it is inaccessible by the poorest, where people have to que for days to get access to a free volunteer doctors clinic, the largest per cent of children living below the poverty line in the west. The fact religion and politics are to connected, the obsession with power and belongings. The igronace and arrogance, as demonstrated in this thread by the op, that the American way is the right/best way I have absolutely no idea what could make America county one of the greatest on the planet

O well I am sure my shoulder can bear the brunt of an Americans offence. What do you think is good about American culture? I am willing to bet I can think of far more that is wrong with it

I didn't know a mission was about passing on American/Utah culture. In fact I hope it isn't because there is very little of American culture I think is worth passing on.

I would just do a lesson on women and the priesthood let her get everything off her chest

Come on the organge men is what I am shouting to the announce of my husband. He is supporting the Netherlands I think he objects to the kit comments. Last night we were watching 1-0 go to put my son to bed and it was 5-0 ! I thought it was a joke!

I can see where people are coming from I should have just said o I like it or what ever but I thought giving some background would help people understand but that was just being niave I guess. I think also I am still suffering with anxiety after the post natel depression, it makes me feel like my decisions aren't good enough. But when I think about it I am there to swim with my boy should have just said o I just like it and got on with our swim.

Yeah I can see they were only trying to help and I am impressed that a person would be christlike and stick their neck out to help. I just get a bit defensive of my family
