These are interesting points of view.
One thing bothers me about all your theories: you are assuming that the LDS elite leaders actually BELIEVE all of this Mormon crap, in the first place. I've always felt that these geezers were deliberately lying, changing history, excusing JS's crimes, hiding their financial records, putting different slants on things, in order to keep their money-making con afloat. They've got to know it's a con. They've got to realize that money is their main motive. They falsely advertise, they sell false promises, they threaten those who try to leave, they lie about family togetherness, etc. I mean--the top Mormon leaders have to KNOW they are doing all of this, right?
If they know that their cult is a hoax, then why would they think the cult could control God's forgiveness, at all? Do they even believe in God? They don't seem to fear God's wrath, as they have false prophets. They must know, as my grandfather did, that the Mormon prophets have never talked to or heard from God or Christ. The Mormons lie when they claim to speak for God, and they blaspheme against God when they say he is a polygamist, and they seem confident that God won't punish them for all of this, why? Because the leaders think there's no such thing as God?. With no God, why would a "second anointing ritual" mean anything to them? Is this sort of a group-delusion? A mass-hysteria? Do the GA's bond together in a big lie, and hold each other hostage to it, for a 3 billion dollar ransom?
(It's no big mystery that most Mormons who find out it's a hoax, and leave, end up as atheists.)
The whole thing is so convoluted and secret and evil, that I can't sift out the truth, here. Grandpa did not believe in a lot of JS's specifics about the Mormon CK. I can't imagine him really believing in such a thing as a second anointing, sanctioned by God, or that any man would have the authority to grant this kind of holy amnesty. The scriptures are very straightforward about not judgning others, and the SA goes way beyond judging.
Birdman, the Mormon cult is "bleeding members", who are leaving in droves as we write. There are a lot of valid reasons to leave, and more reasons are being added to the list, every few months, it seems. The scam is on-going. The Mormons change their words, but the hatred behind them remains. For example, it disgusts me how they try to placate the women, by throwing them a tiny bone once in a while, but everyone knows that the mysogyny is still there. They were placating the gays, when they changed their mind about allowing their children to be baptized. They've been manipulating people into believeing they aren't racist, through twisted words and videos of ethnic-looking people in Conference. They're pretending to do charity aid and disaster relief, in yellow tee shirts and camera crews, while they hoard tithing money, and use it to bail out their failing mall and insurance company. Missions aren't to convert people (certainly not to help them) but to get more money out of the missionaries' families, and keep everyone deeply submerged in the cult. Temples are real estate acquisitions, and it's all tax-free. GBH says the church no longer practices polygamy, but they believe in polygamy in the hereafter. It's just words. Lies. The cult has always abused children mentally--mine were abused physicaly--and has always excused the crimes of wealthy male tithe-payers. There have been such a huge number of crimes, such a great variety of scams going on, that more members are finding out about them, through being victims themselves, having friends and family members victimized, reading about everything on the internet, watching reports on the news, reading National newspapers--no matter how much the church and it's Deseret News and KSL tries to cover up--no matter how strongly the leaders deny.
