What I see as a former member of a Bishopric and an attorney is a published plan of ignorant conspiracy to dupe members and potential members [Investigators] into a life of subservient slavery to the church leadership. While the language is couched in "kindness" the purpose is clear to rip away the individual freedoms of a member or potential member otherwise protected by civil law by following in a pattern of mind control to ideas and principles purported as "Christian" but which can only be described as dark sided in concept. The need for repentance of any member violating any moral code of the church with it holding the false carrot of eternal glory in the afterlife is the method for mentally beating into shape the wayward initiate to the mind control plan. It is not to make the member a better Christian but to secure the leaders in perpetual mind control.
For well over forty years I have kept a general handbook of instructions dated from 1968 when I served in a local Bishopric. In it I find no such in-depth detailed conspiracy to control the minds of members. Nor was the book copyrighted to prevent anyone from having it or assessing it.While I knew the church was corrupt when I challenged it on the racism of Black priesthood denial in 1976,I never dreamed it would go this far to publish its conspiratorial plan for slavery under the guise of "religion".
This is where the gutsy stuff of the church dealing with Transvestites, Gays and Lesbians is published. The leaders speak as if they were the ultimate authority upon the earth for matters which actually escape their collective intelligence. So we have ignorant/prejudiced men pretending to speak for God without any real authority except for superstitious beginnings in a river in Pennsylvania followed by a claim of more ordination but without record!
I recommend that word be passed around to surf and find these books of contemptible conspiracy to control the lives not only of its comparative few members but also of the lives of earths estimated 360 million people who by birth, not choice, find themselves in the general category of "GAYS" and who outnumber world wide Mormons by a 28:1 majority. It is also a plan for the control of all of earth's inhabitants [6.8 Billion] when the church succeeds in overthrowing governments [by deception] to implement its "Kingdom of God on Earth". Now you know why it has missionaries all around the world! So from reading it anyone can get a glimpse of citizen life [or death] in a future world dominated by the church. It truly would be a return to the dark ages of mankind. God help us!
No person today should consider joining the church before they have read the Handbook of Instructions to know the mind control they will be under. Full disclosure to investigators would be entirely appropriate for them to make an informed judgment for future life. All members of the church should read it but it really would make little difference to the duped faithful so I see no problem there.
Indeed it would behoove the church to save its secrets for the temples* and open handbooks one and two to retail sales and thus satisfy the secrecy hunger of anyone.
