Revisiting doubts as a fairly new RM

Post by _msnobody »

Is there anything that would come up that would make you have to revisit your doubts about the church as a fairly new RM (say 1-5 or so years post mission)?

Yes. As a matter of fact, there is. :-)

Why don't you lie back on the couch and tell us all about it. We're here to help. :-)

The early and mid-Twenties are a time when you are almost biologically compelled to reevaluate everything.

Having doubts is completely natural. However, it is what you do with the doubts can can be a problem. We humans can be doubting Thomas'. Such is our condition and such is what makes us human.

The early and mid-twenties are more a time when you think you know everything. Evaluate that, you young whippersnapper :)

Are you looking for doctrinal issues which might cause RMs to re-evaluate the church, or life experiences?

Personally, it a combination of experiencing life, combined with an amazing philosophy professor at university which made me want to look into the doctrinal/historical issues that I had with the church more carefully so that I could decide if I truly believed in it or not.
