One of the great testimonies, to me, of the divinity of this work in which you and I are engaged is the fact that those who have turned away from the truth, without one single, solitary exception that I can recall, have done so because they have failed to keep the commandments of God.

To me it is a little less than marvelous that no faithful man or woman, within my recollection, has ever lost faith in the gospel.

Only those who have neglected to serve God, only those who have not kept the light of the Holy Ghost burning bright within their hearts by obeying the commandments of the living God--they are the only ones who have lost the faith and turned away.

Heber J.Grant Gospel Standards, pg 37

Oh how the members love to beat us in the face with that one!!

Since his definition of serving God includes blind faith then nobody can leave the church without disobeying. If to even question is to disobey then that covers all options.

It's like he's saying water is wet. Duh!

Stunted

So therefore Heber might as well have said: One of the great testimonies, to me, of the divinity of this work in which you and I are engaged is the fact that those who have turned away from the truth, without one single, solitary exception that I can recall, have done so because they have drunk water.

I have as of yet found an honest person with integrity remain a member of the LDS church once they find out it is a lie and run by a bunch of self serving conmen.

What a coincidence
