For a religion that is so dedicated to missionary work I have not seen a group of people so bent on shunning, antagonizing, or harassing those who choose to leave, as I have experienced over the years during my membership in the Mormon church. Any good and knowledgable CEO of a corporation is quick to mend PR glitches within the ranks. PR is a major priority amongst most financial organizations. The church and service in it is still voluntary.
Our oldest son was serving a mission in Sweden and out of the two years he was there, he had five baptisms. At the same time, our ward virtually ran an entire family of six out of the ward.
It just seemed to me that they were shoving people out the back door faster than they were bringing them in the front. Feelings aside, it seems that a pervasive attitude of punishment, judgemental attitudes, and a church caste system only serves to
make their work less effective and their goals more difficult to achieve. It's called "biting the hands that feed you"
