Bender can be accused of being a lot of things:
Bigot
Homophobe
Misogynist
Narcisist
Arrogant
Etc.
But there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that he is any fun.

Elder Anderson said "You look clueless!"
And I thought, "You too mate, You too!"
-10 for sucking up to Anderson
-10 for sucking up to Rusty
-10 for a second suck to Rusty.

Leader with calling where he gets treated like a celeb saying your calling doesn't convey your worth to the community. -10

We don't get compensated. Well we do, but you won't.

-10 for the idea that testimonies need protecting.
NO THEY DON'T. I saw a car run a red light and run into another vehicle. I had to testify in court. I didn't need to protect my testimony. New information might change what you saw, that is the nature of better information, not that you somehow lost your testimony!
"Wait, what!?!?! We don't receive compensation for our callings? So you haven't cashed your stipend right Shumway?"

Talks like this makes me think how many people say no to callings.
"And I don't need you...or, your homespun philosophies."
"And when you try to break my spirit, it won't work, because there's nothing left to break."

To those that are still attending but without callings. If someone approaches you over the next few months, cut them off before they get the opportunity.
Yes, I heard Shumway's talk. No, I still don't want a calling.
The important bit is to name drop Shumway before they get an opportunity to share the talk with you. It communicates to them that you already know where they're going.
