How is Romney doing missionary work a positive example in his life

[LiberalFighter]

when it is something that is considered required? And does not prove he has grown in character. Big difference between voluntarily without any coercion to volunteer to help others.

1. At least ...

That's the rightwing christian argument against taxation.

2. Especially if "missionary work" is just "attempting to convert people"

It's not like he was out there feeding the hungry and tending to the sick.

3. Volunteer: offer, give etc. of ones own free will

4. A good device to get him out of Vietnam.

Makes him a conscientious objector, or a "man of the cloth."

5. I know it is a movie

But I suggest watching the movie "Latter Days" (2004). It is a gay themed movie, about a Mormon missionary who is gay.

6. Give Mitt credit. He saved France from Catholicism and drinking wine.

I assume.

7. How is him doing missionary work in college something they

can talk about, but the assault of a fellow student, during the same time period, was a long time ago and not relevant now?
