Our Missionarries from our area generally fare well.
I have noticed the biggest issue to be the unacceptance of talking of your own personal negative feelings. I understand partly because that could affect new converts.
Female missionarries and couples are very common.
Mostly the Church is made up of a lot of good hearted christians.
Like any religion you get people whom are wicked and hide out in various areas of the church.
We are instructed in biblical principal to consider the walk of our leaders when chosing to take thier advice.
By the way, visit wikipedia to research polygamy. Polygamy stopped being practiced before the state of Utah became a state. Polygamy also became a huge issue at this time about who to follow.
There are currently 2 active break offs of the original church and one that became extinct after 50 years this latter being one of the 2 that followed polygamy.. These happened after the death of Joseph Smith when trying to decide who was to be the new leader.
Jeff was not from Brigham Youngs Church of Jesus Christ, known widely through out the World.

In the current church, the only thing that truly matters is the hearts.
How many religions can kill the members by the teachings of hell, and the strict policies on being saved.

All religions have the power to give and to take life of each of it's members.
This maybe why the one true scripture to follow that can truly help all sufferers is to study the scriptures with all thine heart and all thine soul that thou mayest know if it be true.
