Has the raised bar been beneficial to missionary work?

[byu71]

I will admit that even if they had had the raising of the bar back when I went, I would have still gone even though I would have had to slip under the bar. The pressure from my folks, extended family and the Bishop was just too intense not to go.

I will admit while in the mission home I felt a twang of guilt and felt I should go have a chat with the Mission President, but the line was too long and mainly the dorks were in line (just kidding).

Anyway, since I snuck in I figured I wouldn't amount to much. I learned my lessons and scriptures in three weeks, senior companion after a month, DL and ZL. Now I am not bragging, but saying I never felt guilty for slipping in because I was sure if that was a really bad thing to do, the Lord would have never let the MP call me to those positions. I do believe my MP's were inspired men.

thats kind of cool. rather than drawing a hard line in the sand, they give you 9 options and allow you to choose 5 of them.

Wuap, I see you are stirring up drama over this letter on FB. I don't get it. Clearly it is some goofy program by this stake ("Warrior Missionary!"), but there is no evidence that they are changing the mission eligibility standards or using this list as a mechanism to bar someone from service. Come on. You are smart enough to know that the second someone was barred from service for not being an eagle scout, this would get kicked up the chain and the decision would be reversed in a heartbeat.

How do you get over a porn infection? A PICC line of Studio C and Granite Falls?

I have been able to stave off porn infection by gradually building up a tolerance to it

And what about the kid who sees the list and lowers their head in shame?
Not barred from a mission, but damage done.

This is a pretty pathetic letter.... I hope it's a fake.

JL, I imagine that you've seen the "official" guidelines for missionary eligibility by now. I would've never been allowed to serve according to the direct-from-Salt Lake ones. And, I'm not talking about the Eagle Scout thing.

Testimony?
Worthiness?
Financials?

What is it, you have me stumped.

This has all the signs of a hastily-written memo, because a clerk or counselor forgot to write it until the night before. ('look good', 'infected by porn'???) C'mon.
Yeah, parts of it are offensive. But there's no way this is anything else than a local stake's dumb initiative.
