Content is no more important than protocol. This is also known as talking down to someone; don't worry your little head about answers. We'll tell you how to ask.
If you have a question, make sure that no one hears it when you ask it. Sharing a question might make others think, which could interfere with the church's ability to run an organization based on half-truths and outright lies.

Exactly. I saw her say that and thought....huh?? How she asks is a problem?? Well, maybe what you mean to say is "This should not be asked. Period." Just be honest and stop with the scurrying around the issue.
In other words, some questions are okay as long as they're pre-approved by the brethren and already have a standardized, faith-promoting answer. REAL questions regarding past doctrine, non-whitewashed church history, or scientific conflicts result in church disciplinary action; so don't ask.
Ask in the privacy of your Bishop's office. Everyone do it ASAP! The result will be similar to Han Mattsson. The Bishop won't know anything about what you are talking about, and he will go to his stake president who won't know what you are talking about... Next he will ask someone in his circle of influence (but he won't take it to an area authority–believe me) who won't know or will simply tell him to tell the initial inquiring mind to stop reading anti-mormon materials.
That's the proper way to ask brothers and sisters. Spread the cognitive dissonance around like a virus.
DO NOT FORGET as hard is it is to believe now, many TBM have not heard the basic challenges to the Mormon Gospel. The truth about Joseph. Polyandry. Blood Atonement. Racism. However they haven't.
