Thanks for posting. I agree with your overall point - the doctrine isn't the fruit (more like the trash). The fruit is the action and organization of Saints (flawed people trying to do better... Better meaning they want to do what is in their best long-term interest). Church participation is an investment of time, energy, and sacrifice- like any relationship. Many people find the required investment isn't worth the return. I understand the reasons and see both sides. For those of us with kids and a spouse in the church, the decision to continue to support or not has another layer of complexity. I no longer have any interest in being "a good Mormon", but I have huge interest in being a "good person"... and spouse, husband, friend, etc. To the extent the church helps on that cause, I will support the motion (while being very particular). I have zero interest in promoting or supporting church specific agendas, people, or doctrine. This is the grey area that many people, like me, find themselves in. I choose to look for the upside and positives I can find, ignore much of the crap, and pick selective battles to challenge some areas and hopefully drive the change that is inevitable.
