Beginning March 16, 2020, all missionaries scheduled to enter missionary training centers in Provo, Utah, or Preston, England, will be trained remotely by video conference.
Other missionary training centers will continue to function as usual, but they will not receive any missionaries from regions where government officials are restricting activity. Missionaries from those areas will also be trained by video conference.
So these missionaries will be at home jerking off to porn on their phones and watching training video feeds!

The LDS masturbation police is on top of the potential porn problem with remote missionaries. The church will require 24/7 surveillance with church approved I-phones where the camera is always on examining the hot-blooded youth, and tying hands to bed posts will be back in force. Big brother church will staff masturbation central with various lecherous voyeurs priesthood holders with the ability to scream at missionaries if necessary.
"Elder, get your hands where I can see them," Brother Johnson shouted through the phone. "Now, call you father into the room to tie your hands to the bed post and I will contact your local Bishop for an interview."
"Religion is about providing human community in the guise of solving problems that don’t exist or failing to solve problems that do and seeking to reconcile these contradictions and conceal the failures in bogus explanations otherwise known as theology." - Kishkumen
If missionaries can be effectively trained via video whilst remaining at home, then all that money spent on MTC’s has been an unnecessary waste of widows mite (except for the construction companies that “won” the tendering processes).
The other thing that strikes me about this is that, if Satan had half a brain and was serious about thwarting the plan of Salvation he would immediately stop tempting people thereby removing the whole principle of choice, and simply send a new virus pandemic each year which scuppered General Conference, Church services and the Missionary programme...job done.
“When we are confronted with evidence that challenges our deeply held beliefs we are more likely to reframe the evidence than we are to alter our beliefs. We simply invent new reasons, new justifications, new explanations. Sometimes we ignore the evidence altogether.” (Mathew Syed 'Black Box Thinking')
I have a question wrote:If missionaries can be effectively trained via video whilst remaining at home, then all that money spent on MTC’s has been an unnecessary waste of widows mite (except for the construction companies that “won” the tendering processes).
You mean, a better use would have been investing in the Ensign Peak fund? Why spend the widow's mite when you can invest it?
I guess even a group of several thousands of grouped Melchizedek Priesthood healing people all together can't pool their authority and stop Corona......what an acid test for priesthood power eh? All it takes is a little invisible bug to stop ALL priesthood gathering and healing........ironic no? ALL that "power" and no way to use it in any realistic way, that really would benefit millions and possibly hundreds of millions of God's children. But God sleeps, and the virus band plays on.......perhaps the viruses are the real chosen Israel, and we arrogant humans have just deceived ourselves......I wonder how that would go over being said from the pulpit.
