Quote:

Seeker: Is the point of doctrine to manipulate others into being Good? Do we teach and believe only those things which use fear and guilt to motivate the wicked to pretended righteousness?

In short? Yes. The church uses the fear of God to encourage those new in the faith to obey the commandments. It has been said it is better to do the right thing for the wrong reason, until we learn what the right reason for obedience is. This is the lower law.
