Amazing post and thread by Lot's wife re: "Holland, missionaries, and suicide".
The question about whether or not the GAs know has been asked ad nauseum. Who knows what they know?
My question is do the regular TBMs, those who claim to be happy and fulfilled in the church, do they know how they are viewed?
Do they realize that rather than being admired for their righteousness, their high standards, their worthiness, they are seen as something of a joke, their priesthood authority laughable, their women naive and shallow, and in many cases as victims? Do they understand that to varying degrees, they are viewed as a dangerous cult.
On occasion, I have tried to discuss aspects of the church's history, doctrines, practices and been met with a brick wall of hostility and denial. I've learned better. At this point to confront a TBM would seem like provoking a mentally ill person to have a break down. It feels too perilous.
