Have you ever disagreed with Church leaders? Did that make you feel guilty? Why?
Did You Know----- Joseph Smith encouraged members to argue about politics and theology? Debates among members were very popular at the time. Winners were declared, and participants felt intellectually stimulated and exercised as a result.
What if the Church was like that today? It would be a change, to be sure. It seems that the main purpose of Sunday School and other organizations in the Church today is for correlated validation of our beliefs. This is good, and often needed, but what about when the kids go on missions or have non-member friends and don't know how to respond to disagreement?
What are your thoughts?
1) How do you feel when you disagree with Church leaders?
2) Would you like to see more energetic discussion in your Sunday School classes?
3) If yes, any ideas on how that could happen?

P.S. I secretly hope to one day be an actual part of "the Bloggernacle."
Edit: Thanks Justin for the correction, that Joseph Smith didn't actually organize any of the meetings.
