The fact that church members live in fear of arbitrary discipline is a structural problem that needs to be addressed by church leaders at the general level. Local leaders should not be used as scapegoats when church policy and structure create conditions wherein people live in fear of punishment for failure to abide by undefined rules. But the newest PR statement extends punishable offenses to "seeking changes in church doctrines or structure" (emphasis mine) as if church officials actually hope to prevent structural problems from being identified and addressed.
