I make a few presumptions here; correct me if I’m wrong.
I presume you do not simply have total faith in everything Latter Day Saints; you don’t experience a sense of rightness on every single line of every single religious text (I’ve never met a religious person who does; this is something that only happens in strawman atheism arguments). But presumably you also have experienced a sense of rightness regarding some large part of LDS theology (again, based off my experiences with religious people), as that would be why you converted.
Now here’s the tricky part. If you read something that struck you as right—you got that sense of rightness about it—but when you shared it you found it was directly contradicting some doctrine of LDS, what would happen? Would you stop thinking the thing was right, or would you adjust your view of the LDS Church slight downwards?
(The reason I am not sure this is fair is because if you asked me the same question in terms of rationality and truth-feeling, I would have a hard time not picking it apart, although in the least convenient possible world I would closely examine both my rationality and my feeling of truthness, and then rationality would win.)
