I am a former missionary of the CDSM mission and have been home for a while now. For those of you who aren't aware, since Blake Murdock of was called to take the place of President Maynes in the CDSM mission the general state of the mission appears to have decayed.
Despite a slight improvement in baptismal numbers, the CDSM mission has seen an unusual number of missionaries returning home early due to depression, anxiety, or other mental illness developed on the field.
There have been several posts on this website about CDSM
http://exmormon.org/phorum/read.php?2,1261429,1261429http://exmormon.org/phorum/read.php?2,1261629,1261629Having read what has been written on these forums I can verify that what you have seen from firsthand information (public blogs, etc) is correct, however I find that much of the speculation made on behalf of some of the posters of exmormon.org is absolutely incorrect.
Having first hand experience of CDSM, disagreeing highly with the CDSM leadership, and having seen many of my fellow brothers-in-arms be crippled by mental health issues developed on the field I believe I am a desirable source of information.
If any lingering curiousity remains regarding the CDSM mission, I will try to apply my knowledge and experiences to paint a more accurate picture of what went on during my service, and help you better understand the environment that cultured the horrific illnesses developed by many of my friends.
If you have any questions regarding CDSM, please ask and I will start by answering those.
Regards,
