The facts of mental illness exist independently of my age.

Most of you are truly whistling in the wind on this topic. No one has yet gotten into the zip code of what is really going one here.

You're not implying lads are coming home due to being unworthy, and instead calling it "depressive disorder"?

The numbers returning due to "depression" are staggering. And, if treated, depressive disorder individuals can lead normal lives thereby eliminating the concept they should return and vegetate at home.

That sounds depressing. Where did you serve?

The kids in my mission who get sent home all went home for good reasons like fornicating in the chapel.

If a kid wants to go home, I say send him home asap. No point in having him out there wasting time and money, or worse.

And the Spirit is telling to get back to the playing field? Well that's a whole different issue and it appears he is inspired to a higher calling.

My service occurred in a country where one taught almost no investigators, experienced virtually no baptisms, and walked around in cold, wet weather all day long. Yes, there were depressing days, but you toughed that aspect out. Kids today can be a bit wimpy.

A bit wimpy?! That's the understatement of the century. I'd say they're a bunch of pussies.
