Thanks for sharing this. Older Mormons have told me that the semi-deification of Joseph Smith is a relatively recent phenomenon. When they were growing up JS was talked about as a more failable human being and it was only gradually that it got to the point that you didn't dare say anything even slightly negative about JS. More recently, however, it seems the lid has come off.
BTW, before the days of computers, this used to be called a flow chart.

I realised I had used the wrong term about an hour after I posted it, but I was in bed then.
Thanks for pointing it out 😉
I can only go as far back as the 70's but in my stake JS was always looked upon with awe and my (then to be) wife did go and complain to the stake president that jesus was being pushed in to second place by Holy Joe.
We had a member in our stake (stake mission president) who was in his 80s then and had been a member since the 20's, he complained a lot that the church had been changing for the worse for decades, that admin had taken over from passion and that the Americanism were pushing out what it meant to be a UK Mormon. But he kept his mouth shut figuring he was too old to keep fighting.
That generation is long since gone, and when I was on the "Lost sheep" programme I met endless older people who had left the church or gone inactive simply because of as you say the apotheosis of Joe S.
