Ärende: Why Trump Will Win
==========================
-> I  know I will regret this, but... what kind of doctrine can a cult
-> have and what are these "doctrinal" issues???????

Depends on how you define a cult.  To some they are no more a cult than
the United Methodists... or any other organized denomination.

In fact they have a very well-written set of "doctrines" and publish
them as a part of their "Quad" in a section called "Doctrines and
Covenants."   The Quad consists of The King James Bible, The Book of
Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants and The pearl of
Great price.

The Doctrine and Covenants also includes the "Words of Wisdom" which is
the mormon laws of health or as some call it "Mormon Kosher" which
forbids smoking, "strong" beverages (alcohol, coffee tea and etc).  It
also prescribes a mostly vegetarian based diet whcih stresses meat as
something not to be indulged on.

While I don't agree with all the teachings of the church, most mormons
are incredibly healthy, have strong families, well behaved children, and
are more financially secure than most other people out there.

The women in the family definately have different roles than expected.
I look at my aunts and do not see any of them "subserviant" to the
husbands.  In fact all of them control ALL of the family finances, the
home and children come first... and all of my aunts are career women who
work and have leadership roles in the community.
