I know this from personal experience. Now when I read back through journals, letters, and other stuff I wrote while questioning the church, it's almost painful. I am amazed at how much I'd forgotten that I knew before that. And I really felt that people who defended the party line were the ones being deluded, short-sighted, stupid. Now I cannot begin to express my gratitude to the Lord for interventions big and small that demonstrated--to my satisfaction anyway--that God cares what I believe, what I do, how I spend my time, even how I self-identify. No, I don't have all the answers. But I know I'm back on track.

Or, to put it a little more succinctly: God strikes you stupid. </blockquote> This could be another confirmation of Novak’s Rule of Anti-Mormonism:
