Prob wrong flare but I have an idea and want to know if anyone has had this though or wanted to try this.

Next time someone is at an event where a member of the 12 or higher is at, dont stand for them, see if you get called out. If you do get called out immediately start quoting Matthew 23 and the 7 woes to that authority.

How do you think the GA would respond? Do you think they would try to refute or would their security team wisk them away to safety?

Sorry kind of a silly idea but a thought I had recently. I think these brotheren need more biblically grounded push back and public call out on the lies and deception

I'm curious to hear others thoughts but something that occurred to me. With people constantly being shoveled between classes, crowded hallways, wouldnt this make it easier for someone who wants to do harm to blend in?? From a safety standpoint this almost seems like it will make it harder to secure buildings and keep congregations safe..

Am I crazy here?

Was having a convo with my spouse recently. We were chatting about church and church related issues. I asked if my spouse had ever thought about leaving the church. The response was a quick no and immediately she started talking about the experiences she has had in regards to the priesthood are what keep her in.

In my deconstruction I've been able to separate priesthood and spirituality. I can point out how all my spiritual experiences stem from a higher power and not a fake power given to man...

If this convo comes back up, what are some things to drive the discussion to realizing the two things are not mutually connected and that priesthood isnt necessary for spiritual experiences.

Hopefully my question here makes sense.
