Foreign Missions is romanticized. That is a fact. Home Missionaries are treated badly. That is also a fact.

I think I'm going to extract myself from whatever is happening here now.
Something can be a fact, but not a universal fact. Is Foreign Missions overly romanticized by some? Perhaps. Are Home Missionaries treated badly by some? I would have to say yes. This still does not warrant blanket statements that would suggest that these are universal facts and truths. I think we have to be very careful to not project our experiences and resulting perspectives on everybody else.
