Thanks for posting that eye-opening list!

This is really ironic: 104. "Respect the beliefs, practices, and sites of other religions."

The purpose of the whole mission is to convince people that their own belief is false and only the belief of the mormon church is true!

Notice how MANY of these orders refer to money!

130. Spend your money only on things relating to your mission.

131. Budget your money carefully.

132. Keep a record of what you spend.

133. Do not spend more than your companion.

134. Do not loan money.

135. Do not borrow money.

136. Keep a reserve fund of $50 to $100 at all times for transfers.

137. Pay your bills before leaving an area.

138. Pay cash for all resale literature and supplies ordered from the mission office.

139. Do not waste money on souvenirs.

140. Do not waste money on unnecessary items.

141. Be a frugal photographer.

142. Do not accumulate excess baggage.

143. Obey custom laws and regulations.

144. Pay fast offerings each fast Sunday to the bishop or branch president where you serve.

145. Pay tithing on outside sources of income (i.e. interest) to your home bishop or branch president.

146. Evaluate your funds a few months before the end of your mission. If you have more than you need, ask that less be sent so that you can return home without excess money.

As if the mormon church doesn't have enough in its coffers to support these missionaries. Churches I have belonged to fully support their own missionaries so that the missionary's time can be spent in preaching Christ, not in counting their pennies and worrying about whether they will have food for the next day.

It warms the cockels of my heart that you claim to know what missionaries worry about.
