It shows the level of control the LDS puts on its members, especially those in politics.
The fact that he felt that he had to get permission to run and get support for POTUS from his prophet is very telling about how much control SLC would have if he were POTUS (a lot).
Mormonism is lie from the pit of Hell and a high demand group (cult). Been there, done that (see tagline).
Do they each have their own prophet or is this guy the head of all the mormons?
And where does the title of bishop fit in? Does he hand down that title to one of his sons - or he has to fetch his own? Is it bought through donations? Are the younger generation attracted to this cult?
I feel like I’m having a nightmare since ‘08. Can you wake me up. Maybe I need a zot. ;)
