    This just begs for a “it’s not simple” quote :P

    Any outside voices of authority, like those of studied psychologists, can represent a threat to authority. More so if those voices are saying something different.

    Also, I’d fully expect someone who is sold on feeling dependent on the church doctrines to sell dependence on the church doctrines.

    One of the things I am mulling over though is that I don’t think that the study of doctrine will do more to change behavior then a study of behavior anymore.

    I can honestly say that studying behavior has done more to change my behavior, than studying doctrine. Studying doctrine at best tells me “what to do”. Psychology tells me “why I do what I do, and how I might change it”.
