Wrong, you don't even need to be a member of the Church to attend Church Services. There are team members who have gone on missions and there are some that haven't.
Stop lying. As a former member with family still in the cult I can tell you there is tremendous pressure to serve a mission.
blam61, can you stop ?
It's racist background is well known.
Dallas Oakes may say "the truth is harmful" but don't come on LR demanding special treatment.
The question was asked if you have to go on a mission and if your pressured to go on a mission. Then a reply you have to go on a mission to go to church.
You don't have to go on a mission. Current and past members on the team have not gone. Encouragement to go on a mission is given by family, church leaders, and maybe even team mates at BYU. I'm sure the only pressure, which would be misdirected since a person should only go if the want to and have faith in the message, would be by some parents. You don't have to go on a mission to go to church. The current Pres of the church did not serve a mission. I don't demand any special treatment and would appreciate it if you obeyed posting rules by not attacking someone's religious beliefs.
