The Morg comes first.
I was treated as such, as church organist. I was late one Sunday, and someone had to play the piano, as a substitute. I agonized over this, and was severely reprimanded. No one cared about my reason for being late. Now, I think: "Big, fat deal--so what if the sanctimonious fools had to have a piano play their stupid durges. Any high school student can play them."
My reason for being late, is that a dear friend, a who was a neighbor, and a member our ward, called me as I was leaving for church, saying that she was going to kill herself. I didn't give out her name, but no one thought that was a good reason to be late!
Family is only to grow more future tithe-payers and cult slaves. No one cared if there was a family emergency, my kids were sick, or fresh out of surgery, etc. I was scolded, and forced to find substitutes. Looking back, teaching in SS was so unimportant! There were only 4-6 kids in my classes, over the years, and it would have been very easy to combine with another 4-6 student class, or have a discussion group, or have a student give the lesson, etc.
When my husband went inactive, the bishop said it was OK to divorce him, as we weren't temple married, and my previous temple marriage (to a violent wife-beater) would hold, and would seal my children to me. I hadn't even considered a divorce! Sure enough, my inactive husband led the rest of us into inactivity within 10 months.
Mormons believe that there isn't enough love to go around. In order for the Morg to come first, everything else must be LESS important--someone's life, health, children, spouse, happiness, freedom--literally everything!
That's what makes it a cult.
