And it really is a great feeling whenever you get to use that intellectual and emotional freedom to come to a conclusion you wouldn't have previously entertained or to make a decision you previously wouldn't have considered to be an option.<br /><br />As a side note, "having chafed under that smothering totalitarianism" is a killer turn of phrase.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14724409661360473452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4172451149432147710.post-22700181509984307572019-10-09T16:01:26.567-04:002019-10-09T16:01:26.567-04:00This is really well researched, well written, easy...This is really well researched, well written, easy to understand, concise and intelligent. Kudos for all the work and time spent compiling this list. When I was a faithful member of the church, I was endlessly troubled by the scriptures and doctrines that didn't make sense, (such as you have outlined here)and the way the church leadership disparaged and criticized those who saw things differently or who didn't toe the party line. There was no room for honest, fearless exploration of truth. Having chafed under that smothering totalitarianism and propaganda for so long, (when I was a member of the church) it never ceases to make me feel happy and free to have my intellectual and emotional freedom now that I have left the church. That is probably why it makes me so happy to read a blog post like this. Zehliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16784359821559531208noreply@blogger.com
