I had a thought spawned by amyjo's thread yesterday. The thing the Mormon experience does for you is disabuse you of a lifetime of cultural conditioning. You go through an identity crisis where you don't even know who you are anymore, and then things settle down and a new you emerges.
This is much like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. There are lots of butterflies in RfM along with caterpillars in various stages of metamorphosis.
If I had never encountered (brrrr) Mormonism, I would probably be stuck in some other kind of culturally-imposed conditioning. Instead, Mormonism gave me wings.
