Does God threaten illness for lack of missionary service?

While on my mission I had acute appendicitis and almost died. The mission president, foollowing my recovery started asking in depth worthyness questions to determine why I got sick via his messed up world view. Because, of course the ONLY way a missionary can become deathly ill (and therefore stop all ROI) is from "unworthyness". After I got sick I was strangely looked upon as an apostate.

Why is it Jason that whenever we bring up an encounter with Mormon idiocy that you balk and state that that could NEVER happen? Methinks your faith clouds your judgment.

No Merc you misunderstand....I guess I do not really doubt it...I just am surprised there are so many dumb leaders. Well maybe not. I was fortunate to have a very practical and forthright MP who will he worked our butts off and took no crap, he loved us and cared for us well and never was a hocus pocus type guy.
