One of the first things they ask potential converts to do is pray and 
ask God if He thinks joining the Church is a good idea.  Those who think 
God says "no" are free to pursue other religious organizations, or to 
practice unorganized (disorganized?) religion instead.

(In fact, members are frequently reminded to continue asking God if 
everything they've heard recently in Church is true, and if they should 
accept it).
