why I ask so many darn questions

That sort of class would have been very interesting to me 30 years ago when I was figuring it all out. I am still figuring it all out, but not at such a broad level — even though I leave myself open at any time to change everything upside down based on new experiences. Here is the author’s advice that may have been the OP’s reason for posting this article as a StayLDS bit of advice:

Going off of God’s brilliant promise, I have an idea. Ask questions. Even the questions that people have left the Church over. Even questions that you think are unanswerable. Talk to your Bishop. They are a wealth of knowledge, and if they don’t know, they will find out. Being able to have frank conversations about certain principles or aspects of Church history brings about understanding, which is great. But what I think is the best consequence of asking questions is the small, quiet assurance that I have a Heavenly Father above who loves me. Sure, I may not understand many, many things. However, I know that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is built on simple principles that I have a strong testimony of. By discussing the complicated affairs, the simple truths stand out like a shining beacon of hope. And hope, for me, is what makes life worth living.

I always think it’s good to ask questions. But I don’t agree with talking to your Bishop — unless he’s the right guy. You need someone like Ray or others here that have an open mind, don’t want to encourage people leave, and want to make sure that any ripples show respect for the people for whom TBM Mormonism works…And remembers, bishops are judge, jury and executioner on a number of issues — expressing doubt can really limit your future options in the church.
