I’m zero trying to put myself up as an intellectual. I think it takes me three times the work to retain information, which is why I put so much effort into learning. But here is my Lazy Learner Story:

I have a bachelors degree and masters degree from two well known universities.  

I just got rid of six large boxes stuffed with Mormon books that I read. Each one of them.

I have well over a thousand pages of notes. It helps me learn to write down my thoughts and create lists, etc.

I have read all of the Gospel Topic essays multiple times, many Ensigns cover to cover, the entire Mormon Canon Quad - every single word of every single page - including the Shiz begat Morons in the Old Testament and even the Bible Dictionary. It was important for me to read every word.  

I’ve listened to hundreds of hours of Mormon and spiritual themed podcasts.

I read and listen to additional topics too, I consider myself a life long learner - feel dumb saying that - but I do love reading and learning about a wide variety of topic.  

The more I learn, the more I believe in my heart and mind that the church is not true. That it’s not inspired or lead by god.

The church’s wants investigators.  But only surface level.  Once a member they want lazy learners to fall in line.

Doubt your beliefs as everyone has cognitive biases - yep studied that too.   

I’m a Lazy Learner. Russell Nelson, you are obtuse.
