I am not struck so much by the diversity of testimony as by the many-sidedness of truth.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Testimony gives something to be interpreted.
Testimony always comes from people who are in some way disempowered.
A testimony of the truth of the gospel does not come the same way to all people. Some receive it in a unique, life-changing experience. Others gain a testimony slowly, almost imperceptibly until, one day, they simply know.
Testimony demands to be interpreted because of the dialectic of meaning and event that traverses it.
We should remember that bearing a heartfelt testimony is only a beginning. We need to bear testimony, we need to mean it, and most importantly we need consistently to live it. We need to both declare and live our testimonies.
Testimony should be a philosophical problem and not limited to legal or historical contexts where it refers to the account of a witness who reports what he has seen.
The experience of testifying and the aftermath have changed my life.
For members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the term 'testimony' is a warm and familiar word in our religious expressions. It is tender and sweet. It has always a certain sacredness about it. When we talk about testimony, we refer to feelings of our heart and mind rather than an accumulation of logical, sterile facts.
Truth suffers from too much analysis.
For God is my witness that I neither preached, affirmed, nor defended them, though they say that I did.
