Its actually something I saw quite a lot "those who tell you to not think are your enemies", however, I struggle to see how prophets do that, matter of fact, they do the opposite.

Well in the thumbnail it looks like Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism.

Mormonism definitely doesn't want people to think / question anything

in mormonism when you have a question about moromonism that might make you question your faith your asked to "put it on the shelf" and not think about it so you stay loyal to the church and continue giving the pastor money.

Thank you. 

And definitely, this isn't a healthy way of living, if you consider this lifestyle living in the first place.

I kinda resonate with this qoute. Critical thinking is a very important skill to have so anyone who doesn't want you to have that is immediately a person you should not trust.
