I thought, at first, that you were making a reference to the guy who sailed out of the BoM. You mean NOM's Hagoth.

Resurrecting the don't say no to callings. -100

I mean, if people turn down a calling, maybe honor that or... gasp... ask them why or what their wishes are. Don't start up with the obligation garbage.

Have more activities. +50
"At little or no cost" -50

And, they have to have a gospel purpose. They can’t just be for social interaction. -613
