Seriously, arms and other limbs strewn everywhere. Wasn't pretty. -
I believe it was that one time an Elder was told by his MP to emulate Ammon and then some guy tried to rob the Elder. The result wasn't pretty.Originally posted by Topper View Post

Second edit: "wasn't pretty"

There were some hints in there about the various ways elders had gone local. Mostly, it seemed that leaders didn't like it because it wasn't generating baptisms. Regarding that point, I explicitly don't care if assigning missionaries to give months of service at the beginning of their missions raises the number of baptisms. It's a way to serve our fellow man using time that missionaries apparently have in spades at the moment. That's good enough for me.Originally posted by Donuthole View Postτὸν ἥλιον ἀνατέλλοντα πλείονες ἢ δυόμενον προσκυνοῦσινComment

What was spine chilling about that? Relaxing traditional mission rules resulted in many missionaries misbehaving. why is that surprising? Is there more to this story? nikuman always seems to have some additional scoop. lets have it!Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Interesting read. I agree with your conclusions. Service should be a common element, not raising baptisms.Originally posted by All-American View Post"Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."
Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.Comment

That is very sanitized compared to the stories that I heard. I am uncomfortable sharing the stories as none of them are verified and, IMO, mission stories are rarely accurate.Originally posted by Donuthole View PostComment

Is there anyone here that shares verified stories? C'mon! Dish!Originally posted by imanihonjin View Post
"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

Missionaries don't need the Ammon Project to hit the strip in Vegas. An entire district of missionaries in the Vegas mission were sent home a few years ago for spending time at a strip club.Originally posted by Paperback Writer View Post
My business partner was a counselor to the Vegas mission president when it happened. He verifies the account as accurate.Last edited by Nakoma; 01-14-2014, 01:14 PM.Comment
