Again, there is no enforcement mechanism. The decision determining what consecration means is for the most part individual. You are correct, as far as I know, unless you count peer-pressure, or rather authority-pressure. I personally heard it deployed in a priesthood meeting when someone resisted a...

Brooks committed multiple felonies including murder. Jenn Kamp is just a nincompoop in a civil case who has no...
