1. When the prophet speaks the thinking is NOT done because he could be wrong as many have been in the past and present time.

2. To properly develop mentally and spiritually, I must follow my own conscience whether it is in opposition to the leaders or not. (Mormons are taught from a young age to always follow the prophet no matter what.)

3. Using my feelings (feeling the "spirit") to determine what is true or not is a very subjective and incomplete measurement of truth.

Yea, simple huh?

I am real.

Therefore i know the LDS church is NOT: it doesn't act like me, look like me or live right!

Great TOP 10

I don't see how TBMs / others can criticize that...

Unfortunately, some or perhaps many will.

Putting into words what I couldn't at the closeted and repressionable age when I first knew (but hadn't yet discovered) nothing about nothing but that the moron church wasn't true, attempting truthfulness or acting anything or anywhere near kind, promising, divine or any of that.

Good lists are great - especially when they are honest, true, chased, be-never-reverent and all that!
