> [@Darren\_Garrison](#): > > Tangent time: there used to be a funny multi-part story online from an ex-Mormon detailing the time he tried to “save” a friend from abandoning his mandatory missionary trip by calling in a fake bomb threat to stop his flight. I can’t find it now. Anyone have a link? It’s been published, The Accidental Terrorist: Confessions of a Reluctant Missionary by William Shunn I immediately thought about that account, as well. He’s a good writer. One note. The guy returning was his assigned companion, someone you are with 24/7 for anywhere between one and several months. You have a duty to keep your companion from breaking the mission rules. Supposedly missionaries have been sent home in disgrace as punishment for not preventing their companions from breaking serious rules such as having sex or leaving the mission area. Missionaries must obey very strict (and arbitrary) rules specifying what time to wake up, which sports are acceptable (half court basketball is fine but not full court) so having a companion leave would have put him in a panic. ---

Yeah, this seems to be pretty mild stuff to get fired over. Not much worse than typical evangelical witnessing. It’s not like he got violent or spewed racist hate. But I guess his notoriety was bad for buisness to he got canned. ---

As a former reluctant missionary myself, it’s spot on. > [@](#): > > Now, the way I’m telling the story, you may get the impression that a mission is something of a police state. If so, you wouldn’t be wrong. It has all the same trappings—totalitarian leadership, constant indoctrination, “protection” from non-approved media, and even informers. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Mormonism. ---

Which, surprisingly, is what happens in many Reddit communities when the clearly deranged/dementia afflicted folks do what they get videoed doing. The first time/s the video/s get shared. Unfortunately, after 1-5 years and the video(s) are still out there… sympathy is lost and Point and Laugh gets more traction.
