Hell not being a mission president is a blessing.

they should force all single older brethren to be mission presidents. those bastards.

I wouldn't wish mission president on my worst enemy. Worst calling in the church, other than whoever the poor sap is that fields official complaints from the women of the church.

If GN is MP, I will volunteer to be a counselor.

Three years of trying to keep 19-21 year old guys out of trouble and 21-28 year old women from killing each other. Something I wouldn't want to do in my old age and something I will never have to worry about. On the other hand Indy you better start packing your bags when you turn about 55.

I'm too poor to serve. They only take successful millionaires and/or brothers of General Authorities.

Besides, if I keep hanging out around here, eventually I'll suffer an SU-esque psychotic break.

Bullsh*t. They took our Institute Director who had to sell his house to finance his mission.

Agreed.

My MP was a Professor of French at the BYU. So I guess it was more of a transfer than a calling, eh?

Sorry, I thought I was just perpetuating another one of the CG over-generalized bullcrap positions.

This is the generation whose sense of entitlement comes from being molly coddled their entire lives. Their parents ran to their defense every time an elementary school teacher didn't give them straight "A"s and perfect citizenship marks.

These kids now think they are entitled to a life devoid of pressure, challenge and obstacles. They're soft. They want their mom when the going gets a little tough.

Quit making excuses for them danimal. Let me guess, danimal is under 30 years of age.

Yeah, my older brother decided suicide was the best way celebrate being given a trophy in his youth.
