I teach them correct principles and let them govern themselves

Can any church that requires "worthiness" to enter the temple really be said to believe what Joseph Smith said about letting people govern themselves?

It should be, "I tell them what to do and let them control each other." (n/t)

"I teach them nonsense, and threaten or kill the dissenters".

This quote is one of the most laughable in all of Mormonism (at that's sayin' somethin'!)

The extent of micromanagement the Mormon church demands over its adherents has to place it towards the bottom of the list of all the world's religions when it comes to self-governing membership.
