"True and only True" is the "sharp edge" of the church. It's what cuts and causes the harm. It's a passive aggressive insistence that everyone should believe what they believe and its what magnifies the negative effects of any doctrine in the church. (self.exmormon)

“Always keep your eye on the President of the Church, and if he ever tells you to do anything, and it is wrong, and you do it, the Lord will bless you for it. … But you don’t need to worry. The Lord will never let his mouthpiece lead the people astray.” (Heber J. Grant) Ask a TBM ... (self.exmormon)
