The Fully Restored Church

[moksha]

The fully restored Church is divided up into wards, stakes, regions, and staffed by volunteer bishops and stake presidents. These units are further governed by numerous committees which culminate in a rigid hierarchy. The business of the Church is business. It is a carbon copy of the business model outlined in the bible, plus we are building a number of new Sanhedrins every year throughout the world.

What are your thoughts on this matter?

Don't forget the Rameumptoms/pulpits. I was in many an FATM or sac meeting talk where it felt like that description in the BOM.

16 Holy God, we believe that thou hast separated us from our brethren; and we do not believe in the tradition of our brethren, which was handed down to them by the childishness of their fathers; but we believe that thou hast elected us to be thy holy children; and also thou hast made it known unto us that there shall be no Christ.

17 But thou art the same yesterday, today, and forever; and thou hast elected us that we shall be saved, whilst all around us are elected to be cast by thy wrath down to hell; for the which holiness, O God, we thank thee; and we also thank thee that thou hast elected us, that we may not be led away after the foolish traditions of our brethren, which doth bind them down to a belief of Christ, which doth lead their hearts to wander far from thee, our God.

18 And again we thank thee, O God, that we are a chosen and a holy people. Amen.

There's so much irony in those verses!

Actually, they are to be announcing more Sanhedrins each year. The building part seems to be lagging. The church has always been good at talking the talk.
