Another experience of things I'd forgotten I remembered...
As I've mentioned before, my office has this odd Frankling Covey fetish. The time management course is mandatory for new employees, and they provide us with free planner refills every year.
When I attended the FC indoctrination class a year ago, I wondered if FC was an LDS company - their teachings sounded like something that would be taught at the LDS church, and the company is based in Salt Lake City.
Last night I was reading this joke Mormon census form on the web, and one of the things it mentioned was the ubiquitous Franklin Covey planners that all Mormons seem to carry. I read that, and suddenly remembered a conversation I had back in high school with a friend who had just joined the LDS church and was about to go off to an LDS college.
She mentioned that she needed to go get a Franklin Covey planner, because FC was run by Mormons and so all the Mormons used them. I'd completely forgotten about this incident until last night.
So, was my conclusion a year ago a completely independant conclusion, based on the similarities in the teachings, or was it subconsciously influenced by either the conversation with my friend a few years ago or other similar direct evidence that I've forgotten?
Would it even be possible to figure out something you already knew without the previous knowledge influencing your thought process?
