Clearly? I get what you are saying, but if testimony meeting is to be " I know this church is true, I know Joseph Smith was a prophet of God. I know God lives, and Jesus is my savior" repeated for 45 minutes, then what's the point? Personally I'll pass on that kind of meeting. I want to hear the "why" to all those statements. (or even the "why not" if someone is searching)

You lost me with these couple of statements. If you care to elaborate.. How does the, "tendency to focus on the purpose of earth life being to choose to follow the Gospel of Christ", "caused us to misunderstand some stuff"?

I thank you for sharing this as you did. It was very meaningful to me.
