huckelberry isn't talking about free thought and having questions. He's apparently assuming that because one member, somewhere, misinterprets Mormon teachings and doctrine that the church magically becomes O.K. with those misinterpretations being part of the mainstream.

But by all means, share your free thought and questions as though they are mainstream Mormon thought in your next Elder's Quorum or High Priest meeting, then see where it gets you.

Maybe not accept that business a out God once being a man like ourself.
What is "a out God?"
About is the word but the letter b was missed, sorry

I really do not understand why you have such an odd impression of my assumptions. I realize Mormons can be particular about correct doctrine. I am surprized to hear people shying away from King Follett. I suspect they do because it has difficulties. I am unsure about acceptability of questioning KF, it is well established. I do not think it is done directly. Sometimes people seem to talk around it.

I attempted a longer explanation upthread a bit.

Ha ha ha.

Even in my faithful believer days I was shushed more than once in priesthood meeting, and/or taken aside at the end and told that questions outside of what's in the manual were not welcome.

As I said at the end of the previous page, there is a good reason for that.

It’s interesting that the Church doesn’t want to answer the questions you have, it wants to answer the questions it wants you to have. That’s coercive control.
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

If I recall correctly, missionaries, as part of their training, are taught how to answer the question they wish the "contact" had asked, not what they actually asked.

It's a trick that politicians use too.

Yes. It’s deceitful snake oil selling.
