LDS Discussions - Mormon Truth Claims Examined
The Challenges of Trusting LDS Church Leaders
In this chapter, the speakers discuss the issues with trusting Mormon church leaders in light of their track record of getting things wrong. They highlight various examples such as their involvement in civil rights and equal rights amendment, their stance on the age of the earth and evolution, and their claims about the heritage of the Lamanites and Native Americans. They argue that it is almost hubris for church authorities to expect unquestioning trust from their members. They also talk about the power of repetition and indoctrination in shaping beliefs, using examples like the primary song 'Follow the Prophet' and personal experiences with temple worship. Additionally, they explore the idea that repeatedly bearing testimony can lead individuals to convince themselves of its truth, even if they didn't initially feel that way.
