Elder Neal A. Maxwell of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles asked in 1988:
“Why are a few members, who somewhat resemble the ancient Athenians, so eager to hear some new doubt or criticism? (see Acts 17:21). Just as some weak members slip across a state line to gamble, a few go out of their way to have their doubts titillated. Instead of nourishing their faith they are gambling “offshore” with their fragile faith. To the question, “Will ye also go away?” these few would reply, “Oh, no, we merely want a weekend pass to go to a casino for critics or a clubhouse for cloakholders.” Such easily diverted members are not disciples but fair-weather followers. (Ensign, November 1988, pp.32-33.) (From ‘The Neal A. Maxwell Quote Book’ p.69)
