    Outsider question, just curious:

    Have these ever been updated?

    In my opinion, they have a lot of room for improvement. Not that I completely disagree with any, but for something that evokes a flair of universality, they seem awfully specific or even dated in some places and missing some crucial details in others.

        Oof, that would be quite a long list. Basically everything could be improved or at least clarified, but I would have to ask something first:

        What is the intended target audience for the tenets? Members? The general public? Converts? Specifically christian sect (Mormons, LDS, etc) exiteers from north america? Refugees from non-christian religions?

    I think so many will interpret ‘the right to offend’ as the right to say what they want without consequence. I also think the overuse of the pronoun ‘one’ is a silly attempt to make these tenets sound ‘nobler’ than they are.
