271: Be Not Deceived – An Oversimplification

Today we tackle lesson 24 out of the current D&C and Church History manual.  We tackle how blatant and demonstrably inaccurate this lesson is.   We hit on a tribes need to diminish and marginalize those who distance themselves from the tribe.  The need to diminish the substance of their reasons whittling them down to petty and weak.   We also hit on the idea of blaming symptoms as if they are the cause when they are not.  Today is about shining a light on the unethical tribal mechanisms we use to keep those in the tribe safe but at the expense of bearing false witness against those who have stepped away.  If we are a “True Church” then we must be open to correcting such behaviors.   https://www.google.com/amp/s/bycommonconsent.com/2009/07/01/the-milk-strippings-story-thomas-b-marsh-and-brigham-young/amp/ http://juvenileinstructor.org/thomas-b-marshs-reconciliation-with-george-w-harris/ http://www.mormonmatters.org/2010/04/15/symonds-ryder-and-a-crisis-of-faith/ http://www.churchistrue.com/blog/why-are-people-leaving-the-mormon-church/ https://mormondiscussions.org/discussion/2017/03/post-alternative-voices-issues-ideas-lead-people-away/ http://www.whymormonsleave.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/02/Why-Mormons-Leave-Comprehensive-List-February-2014.pdf The post 271: Be Not Deceived – An Oversimplification appeared first on Mormon Discussions Podcasts - Full Lineup.
