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

+5 for pushing back against church judgementalism. -5 for confusing callings with service. It's a wash.

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.

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


I just felt like it needed a weird number, because it is a weird belief that socialization for itself has no purpose.

I'm glad you can see the positive. My first impulse is to call him out. This is probably the only way he has to make a change, as unlikely or slow as I think it is.
