the power of saying things out loud

Why is is so important that we say things out loud? I am sitting in a testimony meeting and listening to the different testimonies. It made me question why is it important to bear testimony? I think that there is power in saying things out loud in the presense of others. Everything we say to others alters there opinion of you. Whether for good or bad, and it is impossible t ever completely take it back. It is for this same reason that it is so important for a developing relationship for the boy/girlfriend to say they love their significant other. Stating it outloud forces us to accept the label that comes with the word. Thus bearing testimony is a way to accept the label of being a member of the church and all that goes along with that label.
