If you were an LDS recruit being recruited
to Baylor. Let's say they were good and you thought you could start and you really liked Texas.
During the recruiting process they told you they believed in certain rules in order to maintain the atmoshpere the school wants. How would you feel. How would you feel if they added, these rules are given to us by the leaders who are Gods spokesmen here on earth and therefor the rules are how God wants you to live. Now I have a rebellious nature. If Baylor handled it the second way I described, I would tell them to kiss my butt and leave. |

I think you would. I think you would succumb to blind obedience no matter where you were.

I don't think you even know what blind obedience means. |

I guess it depends on how one defines integrity. To me telling them their rules don't come from God defines my integrity. I would tell them I will obey their rules because those are the rules of the school, but don't ask me to act like or tell anyone I believe they come from God.
