Do YOU Still Think?

He [Lucifer] wins a great victory when he can get members of the Church to speak against the leaders and do “their own thinking.” He specializes in suggesting that our leaders are in error while he plays the blinding rays of apostasy in the eyes of those whom he beguiles. What cunning! And to think that some of our members are deceived by this trickery…. When our leaders speak, the thinking has been done. When they propose a plan—it is God’s plan. When they point the way, there is no other which is safe. When they give direction, it should mark the end of controversy.

Ward Teachers’ Message, Improvement Era, June 1945, 354. Cited in the article “Cultic Characteristics in Mormonism," by Sharon Lindbloom (with her brackets and ellipsis) in the January-February 2024 issue of Mormonism Researched.

So a Mormon is never to investigate to discern truth from error? So a Mormon can never question the teachings of leaders? This definitely proves that the LDS is a CULT which brainwashes its members.

Did He Really Say That?!?

From the day that the priesthood was taken from the earth to the winding up things of all things, every man and every woman must have the certificate of Joseph Smith, junior, as a passport to their entrance into the mansion where God and Christ are — I with you and you with me. I cannot go there without his consent.

Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses 7: 238

The priesthood was ended with Jesus Christ as our eternal priest (Hebrews 7-10). Therefore neither the LDS, nor anyone else, has a priesthood. 

CHRIST died for our sins—NOT Joseph Smith.  No one on earth has authority to provide a certificate or “passport” to heaven and no one has to get consent from anyone on earth to have eternal life with Christ.
