checker, I agree with you. I think beards are a bit yuck but its nothing to stop you progressing spiritually is it?

So if I am reading this right there are those who don't go to church because there are human beings presiding in wards and stakes instead of Gods? Is that right? So if someone expresses their personal opinion and is a Bishop or Stake President then this can't be God's church?
Because someone says we should follow the leadership of the church and priesthood holders should wear white shirts at church and you disagree then you should leave the church, or not wear facial hair, etc.

You're contradicting ureself a little there Ben. Firstly you say people are human and make mistakes, then you say we should follow our leaders anyway. So even if you know something a leader says isn't from God do you believe you should still do it? Because I personally do not. I have left the church because I was sick every Sunday of people chasing me for numbers, paper, and having lessons based on how oh-so-righteous we are as LDS and how wicked the rest of the world are. I class myself as Christian and felf uncomfortable with this sort of thing. I began to feel going to church was actually DAMAGING my testimony. Of course I dont expect people to be perfect but that to me, is taking away the spirit of what true cristianity is.
