Another key is that you have to quietly let go as an individual. Yes, I believe this to be a key to my StayLDS strategy. Quietly let go of different beliefs and expectations. This gives me time to test the waters and get a feel for those things that are important to me as an individual without stak...

Dogma =

any belief held unquestioningly and with undefended certainty.

The premise of unforgivable non-tithing is certainly not part of our beliefs. However, we do have our own share of dogma.

Right. I was trying to figure this one out. I have heard that tithing is one of the only commandments where we can be mathematically perfect. I suppose, if you are into that kinds thing. :?
