Do you really wan’t to become a Latter-day saint?
Do you want to;
Commit to be baptized by water and by the spirit?
Pay a 10% tithing of your gross income?
Go on a two year mission at your expense?
Participate in a welfare project such a a farm or dairy, etc
Visit two or three assigned members once a month and report if they have a need?
Fast two meals a month and give the cost to a fast offering fund?
Take an assignment such as Bishop (Pastor) scout master, class teacher, etc, at your expense?
Spend a three hour session each week in a worship and study period?
Visit two or three assigned members once a month and report if they have a need?
Store a two years supply of food to share in case of a flood or hurricane?
Belong the the Relief Society (for women) and give aid to the poor?
Hold the Priesthood (for men) so you can bless the sick, etc.?
The list goes on, but so do the blessings.

Yes, and I greatly enjoy it.
Though two of your points are a little off:
Participate in a welfare project such a a farm or dairy, etc - not all stakes have storehouses, canneries, farms, ranches, etc. for the members to volunteer at. In fact, some states (including Utah) made it illegal for members to work on the farms for free (farmers were screaming that we were somehow stealing their profits).
Take an assignment such as Bishop (Pastor) scout master, class teacher, etc, at your expense? - It’s not supposed to be at your own expense money wise, just your time. All people that spend money on their calling are supposed to turn in their receipts to the clerk and get reimbursed. Many members choose not to, though.
How about a modern day saint?
No because I don’t believe in preaching false doctrines. I can do all those things without selling my soul to false prophets.
Thank the gods, no!
Have problems or lose interest in the church? Youre Dirt.
Different then everyone else? If you dont dress, speak, and act a certain way you arent following the teachings.
Bisexual, Homosexual, or Trans? Youre just confused, but we can "fix" you.
Sex before marriage? Youre a slut and a whore.
Athiest? Your ignorant and Stubborn.
Dont want kids? Too bad thats your job.
Ladies wanna have a REAL job? The man is the only provider.
Want an abortion? You’re a murderer and should be exiled from the church.
It is up to the individual if he/she want to join or not. Personally I can’t be one but I can understand them. Good luck to anyone who joins them!
No. I find it hard to imagine why anyone in their right mind would want to.
