Criticism
Critics from outside the organization have sharply questioned some of the church's practices. Writers at an independent group blog have suggested changes to church policies they consider to be too strict, such as the prohibition of automobile use on Sabbath day by the missionary of the Church. The church, however, rejects such criticisms, based on the fact that its leaders are directly guided by God and have the authority and responsibility to create rules to protect the well-being of its members.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“Unless criticism refuses to take itself quite so seriously or at least to permit its readers not to, it will inevitably continue to reflect the finicky canons of the genteel tradition and the depressing pieties of the Culture Religion of Modernism.”
—Leslie Fiedler (b. 1917)
“... criticism ... makes very little dent upon me, unless I think there is some real justification and something should be done.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“The critic lives at second hand. He writes about. The poem, the novel, or the play must be given to him; criticism exists by the grace of other men’s genius. By virtue of style, criticism can itself become literature. But usually this occurs only when the writer is acting as critic of his own work or as outrider to his own poetics, when the criticism of Coleridge is work in progress or that of T.S. Eliot propaganda.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
