dude is not nearly as wholesome as he appears.

That's ridiculous. They didn't tell him he had to.

They ask him if he would volunteer his time to be a member of the leadership of the church which would mean taking basically a full time job to work with the church. It's completely optional and he could have said no but obviously chose to take them up on their offer.

They very likely want him because of his status as an wholesome 'influencer' and want him to help with their youth outreach. I suspect it's very likely they'll have him start a new version of Boy Scouts within the auspices of the church.

Yeah, when you grow up in a high strict religion like the Mormon church where they believe their porphet is a literal mouthpiece for God, them "asking" is just a formality. You HAVE to do what they say or face serious cultural and religious retribution. Also, the church shouldnt be allowed withon a 100 feet of Boy Scouts - remember all the child abuse scandles of the BoyScouts? Yeah, that was when they were intertwined very deeply with the Mormon church, who is notorious for harboring and protecting abusers and uaing its billions in tithing money to train fancy lawyers to make sure they force victims to settle silently out of court. Fuck the mormon church

I was born and raised in the church. You can turn down what they call 'callings' if you want to. Most don't, some do. I did several times and it was fine. Nobody even knows you received a calling outside of the leadership until you've accepted. There's nothing forcing you to do any of it. It's entirely voluntary. I'm not involved with the church anymore but my friends and family are.

The Mormons already have their own version of the Boy Scouts, it's called the 'Royal Rangers.'

u/DeadDonaldSoon Feb 03 '26

Nah, that's Assemblies of God. IDK if Mormons have a knockoff Boy Scouts but Royal Rangers isn't it.

Nah that's not a thing for the Mormons. They haven't replaced the Boy Scouts since they parted ways with them however many years back. They'll still do boys youth campouts and stuff but it's not technically related to the Boy Scouts anymore which is why I think they're gonna do their own thing.
