Now--the rest of the story:
"The controversial "baseball baptism" program was Moyle's idea to increase baptisms in order to fill the church meetinghouses. Missionaries would encourage young men to join sports leagues and used baptism as a prerequisite. Under this approach, large numbers of young men were baptized but very few were ever active in the church. ...
The rest of the apostles were largely opposed to these changes, which led to Moyle being relieved of his responsibilities in the missionary department."
Interpreted--the LDS church never supported that program.
So--where are the cites of where you got your claims you made in the previous posts? The one about putting your foot in the door was special.
So special--I looked up a letter Elder Didier wrote to the missionary which led to his personal baptism. When Elder Didier went to Salt Lake to find the missionary who converted him, he found an apostate.
Elder Didier's letter to him was reminiscent of your tale about the foot in the door:
Elder Charles A. Didier delivers a message titled "Letter to a Returned Missionary."

"You have opened the gate to many. Why, why do you close it for yourself?
May I put my foot in the door, as you once did in mine? Reach out your hand while there is still time, and let us tell you that we love you. Your bishop is waiting for you; your home teachers are caring for you; your missionary companions do not forget you; but more than that, we, we need you. Come as you are—our arms are open. We’re waiting for you."
Is that where you got the "foot in the door" story?
