I always felt that they purposely keep many doctrines as ambiguous as possible while still sounding threatening. That way you stay unsure and vulnerable. Always questioning yourself before the church. Because if you're righteous enough you will just know.
There's another thread about denying the Holy Ghost, what it really is and when you've really done it. I've been given more answers than I can count on this and many other issues. That, I'm convinced, are just there to keep you guessing as to where you really stand with the Lord.
Can you go to the temple if you masterbate? Should you take the sacrament if you just had an impure thought? Is it okay to drink an energy drink? All very simple questions with yes/no answers that the church will never tell it's members for reasons mentioned above.
