Critical Thinking TBMs

[_Runtu]

It's the apex of something, for sure. Cognitive dissonance springs to mind.

I recall that President Hinckley said that critical thinking was great before you join the church; afterwards, "we expect them to conform. And they find happiness in that conformity."

Critical thinking would keep one from joining the Church.

Runtu,

Have never heard this. Do you have a reference for this statement by Hinckley?

I certainly believe that he said it - I would just like a reference to go into my "Claims of Shame" file.

Thanks.

David Ransom: There does seem to be though an uncritical acceptance of a conformist style?

Gordon B. Hinckley: Uncritical? No. Not uncritical. People think in a very critical way before they come into this Church. When they come into this Church they're expected to conform. And they find happiness in that conformity.
