Well in many ways, at least when it comes to faith, allowing folks to “mature” too much runs counter to the agenda of the LDS powers that be...

Once Dorothy really looks behind the curtain, well the jig is up...

It seems that even the smartest folks have blinders on in some areas like faith. Reason takes a holiday, which is ironic seeing as how much of the message of the NT discusses how faith and reason are two sides of the same coin....

Oh well...

What I'm learning coming out of the lds church is that it takes a personal commitment to seek the truth. In many ways, it appears that although the lds talk alot about works, they actually do very little in the way of work as it relates to seriously considering what is written in the Bible vs. the bom and the contradictions that lie therein.

If you are admonished not to question the church leadership and “the thinking has been done for you”, what is left for you to do? Nothing, you don't have to do anything because they're doing all the “thinking” for you. Just follow along like a good little child and we'll take care of you. Almost socialist in nature, nanny statism in a church.

Blind obedience is fatal.
