Who cares about the false doctrine boogie man?

I don't believe the same things I did 20 years ago, and I'm better for it. Figuring out that some POV has error is a great way to cultivate love of truth.

As Hugh B. Brown said, the remedy for bad thinking is generally more thinking.

I'm not interested in becoming a simpleton, or a tape recorder for someone else's thoughts.

Mortality is not about safety. Adam chose safety, but Eve chose rightly. It's as though some members of the Church have a "stay in the Garden where it's safe" fetish.

Seeking truth and avoiding error are not the same quest. I'm all about the former.
