Nothing wrong with a little goodnatured overzealous meddling now and then.

"Daddy, please don't ever call down the forces of administration upon my coach, or I won't tell you when games are."

OTOH, my D2 became very satisfied no matter how much or little playing time she garnered and displayed a better attitude about taking it for the team.

You saying it's impossible for a mission president to exceed his authority?

I suppose we're supposed to support our leaders in all their misdeeds, no matter which laws are broken. No wonder Mormons supported Bush in his misguided attempts to redefine torture.

lol! I would bet you almost any amount of money that his MP is not a liberal.

The mission president went a little overboard, no question. But calling in the National Guard, the 4th Infantry Division, and the Supreme Court to demand resolution for your daughter's boyfriend is bizarre.

Funny, I thought the MP's superior was addressed because he ignored his own breach, after the MP was given an opportunity to recant. In a chain of command structure, one usually addresses misdeeds within the chain of command. The camel approach to command failures is a great recipe for success. Just ask George Bush.

File a civil complaint against the Church. I know the attorneys who would handle it. They would rip the MP a new orifice, deliver the stuff, and ask you to drop the suit. Done within a month.

I don't think you would suffer any ecclesiastical abuse, but can't promise it. I'm sure bf would.

Having him sent home early from his mission is not the object of this lesson.
