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:
“Parents sometimes feel that if they don’t criticize their child, their child will never learn. Criticism doesn’t make people want to change; it makes them defensive.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
“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)
“When you overpay small people you frighten them. They know that their merits or activities entitle them to no such sums as they are receiving. As a result their boss soars out of economic into magic significance. He becomes a source of blessings rather than wages. Criticism is sacrilege, doubt is heresy.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
