Something is weighing on my mind.
Do you think the Apostles and Profit really want to defraud people or do you think they are like us? I mean they were born and raised BICs that believed everything all the way up the ladder to the upper echelons of Mormondom. Is it plausible that the Apostles really just rely on the "fact" that the Profit talks with God. Then when you become the Profit he just relies on all the "facts" that in 1820 Joseph Smith saw god? Or do you think they are in it for the lifestyle e.g. celebrity status, first class airline seats, retreats, limos, credit cards, perks etc.. etc.?
The more I think about it I tend to believe they are like us, born and raised as cog-dis, believing Mormons. I doubt any of them take a Kings salary (say more than 500k a year) so its not like they are scraping the multi-billion dollar coffers. So money doesn't seem to be a true motive. Maybe they are just like us BICS.. duped by a con they grew up in.
What say ye?
