I think you are nearer the mainstream than you think. Sorry.

Definitely nearer the socio-religious faction that many people on this board have found to be rhetorically and personally useful and so have declared to be the mainstream.

If you were worthy... this is one of the most irritating statements in the church. It's unsaid partner is that if you do get hurt while wearing your garments, you were not worthy or were not faithful. People who believe it (like I once did) are filled with guilt (or begin to question the validity of the church) when things go wrong.

And many well to do Mormons like to reassure one another that their prosperity is that god is approving of them, "and blessed them with riches".

The implication being that they are lying, and that you know their experiences better than they do?
