I didn't look at this thread since way back when so missed this. I think I answered it in my post on page 1:

Some people consider mormonism a cult.

I really, honestly, have very little defense as to what you're saying. I mean, it's a human organization, and is therefore prone to corruption and hypocracy. (I've seen the elders' kids being favored--and elders being favored--firsthand, and it is quite angering.) But (and I guess I can say this, having never experienced something so personally offensive that I'd want to leave) I feel that the merits of the religion outweigh the corruption and politics. You're right, though, there are both, unfortunately, and unfortunately, it is a horrible witness to people outside the religion. But the beliefs make sense to me, so I stick to 'em. But I do appreciate your honesty. And, as I said, I appreciate your non-judgemental attitude. Thanks, friend.
