I’d like to vent, if that’s ok. Our second oldest son, Phineas, who is as good of a human being as you could possibly imagine, is struggling. He is 19. He decided not to serve a mission. While the church culture has gotten better for kids who don’t serve missions, it’s still 1/

@jandmplus6 Why doesn't he want to serve?

@jennofthewest Oh, that’s very personal to him. I wouldn’t want to share that.

@jandmplus6 Odd. It's a red flag, for sure.

@jennofthewest What is a red flag?

@jandmplus6 That he refuses to serve a mission and the reason is so private, it can't be mentioned.

@jennofthewest @jandmplus6 Going out of your way to pass judgement on a 19 yr old kid is possibly the least Christian thing you could've chosen to do here. Work on you, Jennifer.
