That's what I have a problem with... that the church teaches that everyone must lock down their minds completely and refuse to be human. I know that some people succeed at doing so, and take on some kind of mystical personality as a result of all their "discipline." But it creeps me out, personally, to repress so much of what is natural. Once again, another reason I'm no longer part of the church.
