The things I’m talking about are primarily things that you hear on the pulpit during general conference, and then are implemented on the edges. Official rules and structures. I’m not super interested in getting into specifics but it’s typical stuff for exmormons to complain about; my point is really that I just want you to think carefully about what effects different things would have. It should be fairly obvious what parts of mormonism I’m talking about if you encounter them and share my preferences.
I want you to be specific so I don’t have to assume what you’re talking about and how you think it affects members, and how what is described in the post relates to any of that.
For example, are you talking about them being against gayness? That seems much more caused by their theology & cosmology than anything described in the OP. Regardless of whether a community implements what is described, it would suck to be gay in a community that hates gayness.
really the core problem I see is that the structure is well adapted to push people to accept things that are unreasonable requests. I’m not interested in getting into specifics because I don’t want to have to narrate out a bunch of personal experiences, so my claim is only about the structure supporting information flow from center outwards, not about what specific things it happens to be carrying in the case of mormonism.
