Seeker-I believe it's a calling, but a higher calling. A calling to serve our fellow beings, cause then we're in the service of our God. But Home Teaching/ Visiting Teaching is absolutely meaningless unless we're doing it with charity and the right motives. If we're doing it to cross it off our list of "to-dos" it would be the same not doing it or doing it. BUT... Maybe it's like praying until you feel like praying kind of thing? HT/VT until you do it with the right intents? Haha
FreddyV-I look at priesthood, temple marriage, endowment, etc. as a shell. They need to be filled with real purpose to take effect. Anyone can hold the priesthood, anyone can get married in the temple. I've a handful of examples. Lots of people think that by participating in these things they've qualified for eternal life. The priesthood is just a cave(Plato's cave) allegory of what we can really have. It's to prepare us to receive God's power as God's power. We only see glimpses of that in this telestial existense I think...
