How does Utah's criminal Attorney General Sean Reyes figure into this Visions of Glory stuff? See this link:

Very heavily. He's right in the midst of all of it. He's engaged in some very questionable, possibly illegal, activities.

I started watching the podcast on this.

I'm really really grateful this book didn't come out when I was in my early 20s. I might have bought a bit of that kool-aid. Why? Because I was special, by God. My patriarchal blessing confirmed it. I might even be a big player during the resurrection process. I'll have a lot of money. The church will look to me to do things that perhaps only I can do. Oh man. I can hear the revelations coming to me.. coming round the bend. The rocks and trees are telling me their stories. Look out, world.

Now I'm worried about some of the friends I had way back then. I hope they don't read this book or have wised up a bit. God, I hope so.

After hearing some more quotes from that book I want to revise my previous statement. Even in my early 20s I wouldn't have bought into some of that quakery. It gets a bit wild and weird.

And it's chilling to see how many people of been very very influenced by this book and then committed heinous crimes.

I hope we don't see more.

Yeah, even in my most fanatically devout missionary days I don't think I would have been able to make myself believe that evil spirits enter an invisible hole in the top of someone's head every time they walk into a bar, look at a picture of boobs, or touch their naughty bits, until they are so full of evil that it would be a favor to them to put a bullet in their head.

I just squirted an evil spirit...

Oh
my
gods!

I'm just over 3 hours into this podcast and it just gets crazier as it goes. You can't make this crazy $hit up!

The culture of my mormon life here behind the Zion curtain, the culty corporation I lived in for so many years, just continues to surprise me over and over again.

I don't have nearly enough popcorn for this crazy movie!

Interesting podcast I was "lead" to recently that reminded me of the discussion of patriarchy in this thread.
