Think about your logic...If you knew you were being controlled you would realize that you were only a sheep in the herd. Ever wondered why they refer to Jesus as your shepherd? Also, you should logically think through the fact that faith is they're only answer to every criticism upon their beliefs. Would you believe that if you closed your eyes on the highway for one whole minute while driving on the highway you wouldn't have an accident because you had faith in your safety?(September 13, 2012 at 3:42 pm)Ryantology Wrote: Because, if the idea is control, gullibility among the masses is to be promoted as a virtue, as long as that gullibility does not extend to any opposing system of belief or non-belief.
The above bold is by me, what control, by whom and for what purpose. This control stuff comes up all the time, I think it's time someone explained what is meant by it, or if you all are just repeating something you've heard. I've been a part of the Church for a long time and I do not know of any control going on.
Think for yourself. Question Authority
