[1] 10 deaths among Mormon missionaries -- including three from "natural causes" [which seems high when we're talking about 18, 19, and 20 yo]... [2] Lots of Lds missionaries thru the years get "Dear John" letters from their girlfriends...

Perhaps Mormon parents should "rethink" entrusting missionary presidents & the entire Mormon proselyting enterprise and stop funding it all.

The same thing's been happening with all these weird Boy Scout deaths in Utah over these past few years...as the Mormon church runs most of the Boy Scout operations in Utah...and I didn't have to go back more than two years to highlight these 6 stories highlighting 7 Boy Scout deaths occurring in Utah or adjacent to it:
* Boy, 14, who died in accident at Utah Boy Scout camp is identified: Bruce “Rocky” Rhiddlehoover was run over by trailer
* Families of 2 hit by lightning sue Boy Scouts of America
* Another Boy Scout Killed In Utah, Second Death Of The Day Stuns The Scouting Community
* NV Couple Sues Boy Scouts Over Son’s UT Drowning
* Utah teen drowns in Supai Canyon during Boy Scout trip
* [And then this one involved a Utah teen drowning in the Grand Canyon]: Boy Scout from Utah drowns at Grand Canyon

That is really an unfair question.

Really any missionary is unsafe no matter what part of the world they go to. I have had (Baptist) missionaries in my own family so believe me I know!

Seems pretty safe to me, statistically. Some died from illness, probably would have died anyway. Some died in accidents, just like young adults in any occupation. Etc.

Fun fact: 100% of everyone who ever eats carrots will die. STOP EATING CARROTS.

OMG. I know you really dislike the Mormons and their church. To include in your links BOYSCOUTS who were aged 12 and out camping seems to be more than a little gratuitous.

The boys parents are suing for ridiculous reasons if you read the article. PLUS there is no indication that they are Mormons (I know Utah etc etc).

Some day I hope you find some peace

In the news today a buseload of Baptists were in a bad accident and eight were killed.

And if memory these church related bus accidents happen some what frequency, does that mean Baptists are "poor guardians of their flock"?

I don't believe it but I don't believe Mormons nor Baptist, Methodists or Catholic missionaries wantonly put their believers in jeopardy. Accidents happen to all people, of whatever faiths or non believers.

**Report: Are Mormon Missionaries Safe While Serving The Church?**

I should hope so. I would hope they don’t send out missionaries who are dangerous!
