I'd say, they generally "FALSELY educate themselves and then they are gone." Then hopefully wonder, years later, where all the joy went.chase wrote: ↑November 12th, 2017, 6:09 am You don't educate adults and then keep them in the church. They educate themselves and then they are gone. There is no use stopping it. The church is built on a really poor foundation, and it is best for people to leave it when the figure that out. The moment you decide to just start thinking rationally and accept that it is not your job to constantly apologize for the idiocy of practically every leader since Joseph Smith, then the choice becomes very east. I hope all of you are strong enough to escape your delusion and come over to the other side. It isn't so bad as you've always been told...in fact, it is wonderful.
The church is built ok, given that JS and HS were murdered and some was left unwritten and unknown.
I'd say much of what happened is built well, especially for situations and times.
The best way to educate is not with the essays written by apologetic (apologizing for, not sustaining, truth and faith) people. I've asked the church before to put up lists of websites with good, or at least decent, answers. At least it would be better than what most everyone is going to find on their own.
