@clayinthecarpet I am always on the brink of losing friends because they don't understand that opinions don't have special privileges. So they think I'm personally attacking them when their opinion is ignorant, or they think I'm taking it personal when they have an ignorant reason to attack something I say. In general I try to uphold the intellectual integrity of things, but they're stuck in the opinions-need-shielding zone

@tia look at my posts and you'll see the words "your missions do THIS" or "all missions do THIS." So no, didn't make any assumptions. I know a lot of missions are also within the states, my dad did them all the time (I wonder if he still does actually)

@tia I'm not confusing anything here. When people go to an underdeveloped country to a non-modern tribe or culture, go "want clean food and water?," the leaders of those people have no choice. Then the missionaries there can say whatever they want now and it will be considered truth, and those people won't know any better. It isn't tyranny, it's just immoral. I challenge those missions to provide clean water, food, facilities and medicine to these third-world cultures without putting the gospel price tag on it, and see if they're still willing to give all that away.

@tia not all*

@tia the missions I refer to are ones where the inhabitants can't really say no, so it's unfair for them. Not even through language barrier reasons, but they're not in a position to turn down food and clean water, and medicine. But once they accept, they're up to their noses in unsolicited indoctrination. They're being told their gods and their spirits they believe in are wrong, or just being told they're way of life is wrong if they don't believe in anything (unlikely but you see my point), and they're pressured to go along in fear of losing clean water and facilities for their children. I am aware there are all sorts of missions, not missions are international, and that what I describe may not describe the specific unique missions you or your church participates in. But what I describe is is true, is happening as we speak, and is quite immoral.

@oracle what do mormon missions do

Crusader 8 Cerulean Spark

@ceruleanspark drat

Crusader 8

@oracle I agree with this. Missionary work is tricky because of how it's done. A big example is what's going on in underdeveloped countries where christian schools are popping up overnight. Essentially, they're teaching revisionalist history and give everything on the condition that the kids say what they're receiving comes from God, and not the charity of those people. It's classy brainwashing. And this goes on in impoverished countries that create druglord regimes, and start wars over religious beliefs. So, you're right to say no to your parents.

@oracle a mission?
