Holden turns serious again
Just for a minute. Something really really makes me angry, and I will let it out on my blog. Why are people in our church SO judgmental of young men that don't go on missions, or young men that come home early because they can't handle it? I really wish that all these young men were not looked upon as the biggest sinners upon the earth, because for one thing, that makes them hate life, and second, it probably makes a whole lot of them go inactive. It may be hard for some of us to comprehend why some people don't go on missions, when we see entire families that go on missions, or perhaps ALL of our siblings went on missions, but whether a young man chooses to go on a mission or not is totally between him, the Lord, and absolutely no one else, and his decision is none of our business.
I wish a general authority would say something about this in general conference. The end.

I agree with you whole-heartedly. And I don't know why so many people follow my blog, but I very much love that they do. So i can't complain :)
you are great Holdenfetch. and I love your guts. be happy.
hey, thanks tif. Come on, you must know why you're so popular.
I agree. We are definitely too judgmental and it is sad. Jesus definitely wouldn't want us to be this way. Thanks for this thought Holden.
I am so with you on this! I have a brother who was on a mission and came home. Sadly because everyone has judged him so harshly he is totally heading in the wrong direction it makes me sad. Thanks for the post!
Hey fetch, I like your blog. Except for the 'best kitty ever.' Impossible.
What? How is that not the best kitty ever?
How IS it the best kitty ever?
I like this note because I agree. With EVERYTHING! :\_____/ GRRAAAWW!! But seriously, some of my most miserable/lazy/depressing companions were the ones whose parents and/or bishops forced them to go. What counter-productivity. Poor kids.
Maybe you will be that general authority someday, Holden.
i am not "popular".
