I dont need to. I've told them that truthfully, if they have a legit shot at collegiate or pro sports, then they need to be realistic about what serving a mission will do to those chances. truthfully, missions really hurt your pro chances, so if someone is really good, it would be a huge mistake to go on a mission, imo.

not surprisingly, I didnt have to spend much time convincing the priests of this point.

I agree that missions hurt chances at playing a professional sport, but they don't really hurt the chance to play on the college level.

I think it is wrong to force kids to go on missions, so I wore a button that said Missions were Optional. Truthfully, they are, as nothing happens to you if you don't go.

The Bishop asked to take it off, but not because he disagreed with me.

I still am in YMs. I teach the Priests.
Where do you get these buttons? I can't find them anywhere. Do you make the flair yourself? If so, could you send me a price list. I would like to buy a button. I won't wear it to church, but I will save it for when I have the missfortune of walking into a TGI Friday's.
