Academics is the biggie. BYU's research and grad school programs are lacking and the church has no plans to change it's focus. Then, there are "human rights" issues....the LDS Church's history of racism and hardline on gay rights.


Thanks for the info. I've never heard of Mormons being associated with racism... but on the other hand 1) I wouldn't notice and 2) I don't think I've ever run across a black Mormon, so there's that.

Google "Blacks and the Priesthood". Blacks were excluded from attaining their priesthood until the ban was removed in 1978. Skin color associated with righteousness is even in their canonized scripture.
