A FAIR Analysis of FutureMissionary page "No Investigators, No Dinner"
FAIRMORMON'S VIEW OF THE CRITICS' CONCLUSIONS
The positions that the FutureMissionary article "No Investigators, No Dinner" appears to take are the following:
- That mission rules prevent missionaries from obtaining adequate meals due to a "no investigator, no dinner" policy.
- That "If your mission is one that skips dinner, be sure to keep a close eye on your physical as well as mental wellness. Let your mission president know immediately if your health starts to fail as a result of this rule."
FAIRMORMON'S RESPONSE AND SUPPORTING DATA
FutureMissionary says...
The website claims that "more and more missionaries seem to be going home hungry. This is a result of the 'No investigators, no dinner' policy."
FAIR commentary
- There is no such thing as a universal "no investigators, no dinner" policy. Each mission president can create his own rules.
- This seems to be a result of the author's own experience on a mission in Brazil. Lunch is the large daily meal, and "dinner," as we experience it in the United States, doesn't exist.
- A missionary is never prohibited from buying their own food if they are hungry.
