    I don,t know who heard of Jim Catano, he was LDS decided to become vegetarian and twisted words in prophets mouth to enforce his views on people. He went to that rnch and went to headquarters wondering why the church had that from wh the thought the prophets said. I have a cousin that quoted him and came close to being vegetarian railing on beef and dairy farmers. I have minimal contact with her. Catano eventually left the church and is bleeding heart liberal environmental wack job, we are going to overpopulated earth and on and on. Writes for extremely liberal Salt Lake Weekly. I friended him on Facebook just to see the feed he come up with.

    Chris Foster a Philosophy proffesor at Utah Valley joined the church after becoming vegetarian. Missionaries said ok to still be one. Missionaries will do anything for baptism sometimes. Don,t know how active he still is in church. Sympathizes with John and Kate he gave lecture at Utah State on subject and someone asked him why church owned ranches when he was quoting prophets. He had to get back to teach his class didn't have time to answer the question. Probably because he couldn't,t.

    The church does own businesses. I know someone that thought Church had unfair advantage were missionaries could work ranch for free there brother worked at when they had to pay for expenses such as plumbing and mechanical breakdownsl. Missionaries do help in for profit businesses.

    I know a few stay at home opportunities at di welfare and for profit places. Former neighbors going to Samoa for farming aI think didn,t want to be clerical or mechanic lady didn,t. Good oppurtunities for seniors. Ones in my mission that didn,t work in office worked with less active and part members quite a bit. Where were Orlando Temple missionaries.

    Had people take care of cars. Miles at zone conference didn,t mean much when you had to drive some time to get there anyway. Apartments we inspected. Occasionally by landlords. I didn't like that. Early in missin had people take care of hushing and inspected. Got spirit can,t dwell in unclean place, more baptisms, cleaner apartments and told to make beds. I was not clean freak but of course apartments didn,t need to be pig pens never cleaned.

    Mission Presient got called with 3 weeks notice as other one died shortly after serving. Pretty good ones. He drove me to Sarasota from Tampa 1st day there passing Bucanner stadium I thought of saying good place to prosecute on Sundays would be no mormons there. I didn't though. Rain storm from hurricane there a lot different than what I grew up in. MTC comp wanted to see hurricane. In areas I was at none did any major damage that I am aware of. A few roofs blew off apartments in some places and the like.

    In Stake Conferences hear can take naps don,t have to work as long get up as early can do many things younger couples can,t. AI visited my grandparents in MTC and they lived in Provo and called from there home before going on temple training mission to Argentina. So lots of opportunities. Health prevented my other grandparents from going thugh they wanted too. And. I know some that go on several missions, can do that when you are older too.

      My uncle and aunt applied for a girls camp position. They were to live onsite at the camp, and oversee camp activities and the safety of the campers. They were really jazzed but a week before they were supposed to go, the Church changed their assignment. They were shifted to an urban post, working in an employment office trying to find jobs for church members and non members. They were less than thrilled.
