  • This video is aimed at teaching etiquette to everyone but is aimed primarily at full-time LDS missionaries. While not an official production of either Brigham Young University or the LDS Church, the creators were faculty and instructors for both BYU and the Provo MTC, and the film has been shown at many missions through the world over the past two decades.
    This segment covers how women should pick things up, enter and exit vehicles, and present themselves as sister missionaries.

    I’ll never understand why they went to this much effort to teach us not to expose our legs, but wouldn’t let us wear pants, which cover the entire leg. 🤦‍♀️

      It’s pretty contradictory, huh? We don’t want you to be too feminine to tempt the men, but we also need you to be slightly feminine, just enough to please the men. 🤦🏻‍♀️

    Is there a "Visual Poise for Elders" video??? Any videos about how elders should sit and behave so they look more refined and pretty???

    This is stage 1 of a broad plan to modernize the missionary program. Unbeknownst to them, the sisters are being trained in preparation for when they will be replaced with robots. Once the sisters emotional and physical conditioning is complete and they are no longer discernible from their robot replacements, the seamless transition can go forward undetected.

    "One mission president had to make the front row of meetings off limits for sisters because they couldn't sit modestly. Don't let that be said of you." I'm like how about the mission president keeps his eyes to himself instead of looking at the sisters in the front row? And who is saying what to who? Who the fuck cares haha.

    This entire missionary series is already full of thousands of menial, arbitrary rules, on top of this segment which has hundreds of “rules” that sister missionaries are to follow while physically moving, at all times, in order to not inadvertently flash a little extra leg. All that constant effort these women are expected to put forth to prevent the corruption of men who might see above their ankles and commit a thought sin.

      Sisters can only wear pants in those areas of the world afflicted with Zika virus or other dangerous mosquito-spread diseases, only during the rainy seasons, and cannot wear them at Church, at the Temple, or indoors.

    • @nocoolnametom
      @nocoolnametom 7 років тому +2

      But yes, if the whole "Sisters _must_ wear skirts" thing went away for everyone it would benefit everyone as well. The whole suit thing for the Elders is also starting to become seen less as professional attire and more as anachronistic. Letting the young people wear calm, business casual clothing would go a long way towards helping everyone.

    • @freeurmind5790
      @freeurmind5790 7 років тому

      Missionaries wearing suits in tropical countries = rashes, body odor, and perhaps skin diseases including eczema. White shirt and coat over 'sarong' in Pacific Islands = anachronistic. It is the LDS church imposing its culture over others.

    What a terrible video! I finished my mission in 1993, thankfully was not subjected to this..what a sad waste of church resources. I don't think most people.can back into a 2 door car the.way the video shows. And shame on that mission pres for banning sisters from the front row. Teach true safety, body mechanics, not things designed due to sexual perversion which is what this is < ie the part on how to bend> . Those studying the vhirch will benefit from kind Christlike people..not people who have been given anxiety about how they sit or place their hands..Please do better church! Remember, Christ looks at the inner person, not the way outlined here. Sisters are there TO SERVE, they are not in a weird beauty pagent.
