Why do missionaries tract?

[Jeff Lebowski]

LOL. Hilarious avatar choice, wuap.

I think I find Hallelujah refreshing compared to Commando.

Amen brother. Is he a cougarboard exile?

"He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me"

I love my mother and father more than God. It's not even close.

I never made any leadership in my mission, I really feel like a failure. I was Senior companion for like 3 months, but then both of us got transfered....to different missions.

Seems like I remember people saying that SWK was a junior comp his whole mission. But, I don't have the gumption to go and research that, so it's apocryphal.

That's OK. All of us are effed up in different ways.

That's very true. But I'll bet if people are being honest with themselves there are several here who'd agree with my sentiment. It's almost impossible for me to imagine loving a being whom I have not met and have only read about and prayed to more than my parents who lovingly raised me and whom I've been close to all my life. I know I'm supposed to, but I can't imagine feeling that way.

This thread seems to have taken a turn for the worse.

Let me just say that the desire to call home or catch up with relatives is not always a function of homesickness, per se. My brother became engaged while I was on my mission. My older sister had her second baby girl. My younger sister graduated high school. Lots of stuff where it would have been nice to check in once a month to see what was up. And also to share cool experiences with everyone else.

If that makes wuap an oversized vag, then I will happily join him as one that apparently suffers from the same hermaphroditic condition.

Reading between the lines in this thread, 3D was a drone on his mission.

3D, don't worry. Any more I respect you for that.

I didn't aspire to leadership positions.

They were simply thrust upon me.

They were simply thrust upon me.

That tends to happen in your missionary position.

grody!

Back to the original question: "Why do missionaries tract?"

Part of the answer has to be that they aren't trained to do some of the other things. They are young, know comparatively little, and hit the streets.

I hope the Church has more mediated missionary work in the hopper (a virtual ward on the Internet that people can visit, more online oriented activities, telecomm networked advertising--you know, something that will make an invitation to take a tour of a visitors center pop up on someone's cell phone or laptop if they're within a certain distance of a temple, webcam discussions, just the tip of the iceberg).

These are excellent ideas. Let's hope the Q12 and 1P see the value in technology. The Church's music site gives me hope.

Wow I really got to you-- you even changed your tag. Ha. I really find your male vagina pathetic. I had more than one family member die and another get married while I was out and I did not feel the need to preempt or violate my prior commitment... I guess some people don't care or see it that way. Too bad you're not D-1 football material.

You kiss your husband with that mouth?

Actually I typed it, so I guess I should have washed my filthy hands before giving your baby mama that reach around.
