That's the rather insidious part. I don't mean this as a a personal
attack, as I said, I have many friends who are members (and my father-in-
law is a bishop), but telling people how to live their lives and then
charging the membership to go forth and apply those teachings *is*
telling people what to do and what they should support.
That it's not direct direction doesn't mean they're not saying "do what
we say" - "this is what is good", and then "do what you think is right"
is pushing a particular social agenda.
