Last night I was fortunate and blessed to have enjoyed the company of my many siblings and parent. All are from outward appearance and manner very TBM.
Conversation focused primarily on how being LDS would help specific people they know be better and happier and it teetered on condemning/assuming some bad things about people who leave the church.
The best moment was when my Bishop brother mentioned someone in his shepherding care who explained to him all the historical problems with the book of mormon.
My Bishop Brother explained how this made him feel and that the darkness brought on by this soon to be apostate person was of Satan and that this person must be doing something seriously wrong in his life to have brought those feelings into the room so strongly.
Moments later he says, "I teach my children that to be kind is always better than to be right".
I'm remain "befuddled".
