60 Verily, verily, I say unto you who now hear my words, which are my voice, blessed are ye inasmuch as you receive these things;
61 For I will forgive you of your sins with this commandment—that you remain steadfast in your minds in solemnity and the spirit of prayer, in bearing testimony to all the world of those things which are communicated unto you.
62 Therefore, go ye into all the world; and unto whatsoever place ye cannot go ye shall send, that the testimony may go from you into all the world unto every creature.

Porter,
please share with us the appropriate age to toss aside the Law of consecration.

My problem with the whole missionary program is not the idea of going out and sharing your beliefs. That part makes sense. Is the grinding abuse of missionaries, both young and old, that I have seen over and over. I'm sure the law of consecration wasn't designed to be abusive.

I was thinking of the missionaries in our mission, who are not allowed to eat with members unless they bring an investigator with them. This of course means that the missionaries don't get fed often, but their food budget remains the same. I've seen some hungry missionaries in my time here.
