What's this "WE" stuff? We are talking about those other people - not us! 
Just kidding - it is a humbling thought indeed.

I guess what I'm thinking of is the dear old sisters (okay, the old brothers as well) who testified and said, "Oh, if I can only make it in!" I'm not interested in just barely making it in! I want to enjoy the journey! And I got tired of the "game" and "the rules" that changed in relationship to who was elected in the last conference. Many rules have been made up as the game progressed. Yeh, in too many cases "it just a game!"

Sure, i would say it cuts both ways. Some are so focused on the prize they are not aware of what beauty God has laid out along the route and others are so preoccupied with what they feel the journey requires they loose sight of the destination.

Ed, you have a unique ability to say a lot of words in a row, that make sence.
I appreciate the thoughtfulness you just expressed.

Enjoyed the entire post, but this in particular struck a chord with me. This is exactly why I'm  "nuking" every suspect teaching that I've been indoctrinated with, via critical analysis and debate. And afterwards, if I can answer to Francis Scott Key's question, "Yes Sir, it still stands", then [the true doctrines] may just be worthy of belief. And I'll leave the rubble to those who still want to play their games.

We are all more alike than we are different, we are just not all at the same place at the same time.
