lizzy16 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 It was my understanding that you were either going on a mission, getting married, or spiritual ready/older (25ish) before you got your endownments. A friend of mine was telling me about a few of her friends who got theres recently here at byu-idaho. And they're all 19/20, unmarried, not seeing anyone and aren't planning on missions. has the churches policy changed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippy740 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Hmmm... I wonder if these students are just trying to weed-out the non-TR holders to help them find a worthy eternal companion? Just the thought that came to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I thought it was happening less, but I don't have anything to back that up. I just thought they'd gotten more strict about that since I took my endowment out 15-ish years ago. I was 19 and didn't have a marriage prospect at the time.

bluedreams Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 One of my friends got hers without the immediate prospect of marriage or a mission. But that's about it. Over half of my single's ward RS has been endowed...but that's largely because they've gone on missions. With luv, bd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixpacktr Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 HoI to Bishops tells you very plainly that unless a young woman (or young man, for that matter) is either going to be married or go on a mission then they should wait until their 25th Birthday to make sure that there is some spiritual maturity. And even then the Bishop may not give them a recommend if he feels they are not ready for the covenants that they will make. Bishops have a lot of leeway, but for the most part this is pretty strict policy, because the SP then has to do the interview as well and may ixnay the whole thing.

Backroads Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I was only aware that it was becoming more and more strict. The only thing I could think of is these girls were an exception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slamjet Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 If I understand my oldest daughter correctly, she was counseled to wait until she either 1) mission or 2) marriage. And that was her mother telling her that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
