LDS Missionaries Should be ‘Indoctrinated’

March 4 – LDS Missionaries Should be ‘Indoctrinated’. 2 Corinthians 10:5; “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.”

Indoctrinate means to ‘accept a set of beliefs uncritically’. This would entail the submission to LDS teachings without questioning. Ask the Mormon for their opinion on Mr. Kimball’s mandate, and if they accept it.

Ensign, ‘When the World Will Be Converted,’ Oct. 1974, p. 8; “ When I ask for more missionaries, I am not asking for more testimony-barren or unworthy missionaries. I am asking that we start earlier and train our missionaries better… … I am asking for missionaries who have been carefully indoctrinated and trained through the family and the organizations of the Church, and who come to the mission with a great desire. … The question is frequently asked: Should every young man fill a mission? And the answer has been given by the Lord. It is “Yes.” Every young man should fill a mission.” – Spencer W. Kimball [emp. added]
