Who would determines whether their judgement is good or bad? That's right...you do...
I rest my case your honour...

Exactly, your testimony is of you not of the Church. You 100% accept of everything that you believe. You do not accept 100% of everything that the Church believes.

Many things, including, but not limited to "as man is, God once was, and as God is, man may become." Other things are the real personal nature of God, the plurality of Gods, the eternal nature of intelligences, etc., etc., etc.

What beliefs that you held before your conversion do you no longer hold as a result of the teachings of Mormonism?

I have read the general theory of relativity as well as the special theory, however, I must admit that some of those concepts presented are hard for me to grasp. Nevertheless, I am confident that God has understood all truth well before you and I were born.
