But I received a witness from the Holy Ghost.....

Porter....you are one sick puppy.

The first thought when something happens is that someone set it up to manipulate someone? How do you live with that kind of cynicism?

Nehor, you are one gullible duped puppy. No wonder you are still a Mormon.

I'm gullible because I take something at face-value unless I have reason not to?

So believing anything is inherently ego? Seems a radical definition. Then call me an egotist.

I suspect she's using the terms in the Freudian sense.

No, I had a hard enough time going door to door selling a product I completely believe in.

Additionally, lds meetings do have a strong emotional component. Testimony bearing takes place in Elders quorum, relief society, sunday school, and in fast and testimony meeting. Maybe there are just more opportunities for publicly sharing emotion with one another.

I think it's additionally telling that the church has people starve themselves for a day before everyone bears their testimony, ensuring that everyone's blood sugar is low so they are more susceptible to suggestion (especially emotional suggestion) and less likely to really be thinking clearly. I mean, how many times sitting in testimony meeting did you think, "man, I can't wait till this is over so I can get a goddamn cheeseburger" (or something along those lines)?
