Comforting Mission Presidents that Send Home Kids

There a thread on one of the other forums right now where someone in a mission presidency is looking for a pat on the back after sending a kid home. For some reasons the mods are being a bit heavy handed on that thread today so I’m coming here to vent a bit.

It’s just such an awful practice that you say to a kid you’re so unworthy that we don’t even want your free labor, that’s how unworthy you are. And then they want a pat on the back oh I feel so bad.

Then don’t do it!

They feel bad because it is bad but they want someone to tell them they’re actually doing something good.

So that they don’t have to feel bad for the kid whose schooling plans may have been interrupted, who will have a harder time finding a member to marry, who probably won’t feel at home in the religion of their birth. You feel bad … good you should feel absolutely ashamed.

You’ll be on your hand and knees begging their forgiveness before you take one step in the celestial kingdom.

You sold our children for the silver of the approbation of your peers.
