blackcat Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Some guy posted this web site on the internet.( www.lds4u.com )Check it out. Sure I remembered my mission and the lds4u missionary rules has its no duh kind of response to it but others kinda made me scratch my head and question it further. Why? We had missionaries in the field play sports many in fact. True that they couldn't devote their time to practice with a team or anything like that. What's this thing that the sisters couldn't wear long dresses or skirts? How do you expect them to ride their bikes without getting the fabric in the chain? No duh on the cut to the knee though. I didn't read all of it I got to a certain point and then couldn't read it any more too stupid. I was told by my mission president that if i had any problems with the rules to talk to him about it and we can work it out and we did. Your thoughts on the above web site.

ztodd Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I read a couple of the missionary pages so far- the poor guy sounds like he had some bad experiences. Do you know anything about the author? A lot of what I read so far is about his negative experiences, reasons, and objectives for going on a mission. Kind of depressing. I like this site a lot more. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodAZ Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I am looking for web sites for returned missionaries. You got any?HEY, Blackcat, I am registered with this one and like it. I have been contacted by some of my old missionary friends from this site. In fact, one of my investigators that we baptized contacted me through this site. It is very well done. There is a link to it on this site - Click here Mormon Links to get there. It is a great place to register then look for missionaries you have known. Missionaries from missions all over world register to contact other missionaries, or be contacted by missionaries or contacts from their Missions.Or go to LDSmissions.comI hope that helps.

Your thoughts on the above web site.So far I've just read one page and already been put off the site by reference to going to the temple to 'be initiated in the secret ceremony of the endowment' - I wonder if it gets worse or better?

the_jason Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 This website borders on being a secret combination. If you wish to find information about the church, go to the church. A disgruntled member/former member is going to have an agenda and won't exactly be unbiased or truthful. You don't go to LA to find out what's like to live in NY. You go to NY.

WillowTheWhisp Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I've now read a little more and it seems to me that the site has been created purely to grind an axe which could possibly be of the author's own making. He apparently couldn't live up to the missionary requirements due to his medical condition - why didn't he point that out to his Mission President? However, I find it a little odd that any medical condition can be worsened by getting enough sleep at night. That complaint does seem rather odd.I've known disabled missionaries who have not only coped with but thoroughly enjoyed their missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateHowe Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Missionary life is difficult. If you can't hack it, you shouldn't go. Either way, you shouldn't complain. It's voluntary service - what do the scriptures say about those who give their gifts grudgingly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayhale Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 I read the ‘Missionary rules’ web site, and like a lot of other people said, whoever wrote these rules clearly made them more worse than what the rules really are. For example, there are several ‘rules’ are really the same rule, just phrased differently. I can make a similar list: 1. Wash hands 2. Wash face 3. Wash back 4. Wash legs 5. Wash head 6. Wash hair See what I did? I split one rule of washing yourself into six. This is what the website did with several different ‘rules’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
