I get the impression that family "Legacy", to borrow the old money term, is what the CAEMS is all about. Would you classify the CAEMS as a mechanism to bequeath a status of royalty on the next generation? How intrinsically linked is the CAEMS and familial legacies?

At the time he was a retired very successful businessman and he held a prestigious position of administrational leadership for the church. He and his wife had been close personal friends of the prophet for 50 years.


How long before the Church will canonize saints?
Few are as bold as Paul Dunn was to claim stuff that could be proven false. Now a days you just infer the slightest suggestion of chickenskin-goosebumpity blah blah blah for a spiritual feed. That's enough. Nobody wants more than a wiff. WE'RE ALIVE!

How long before you take my advice and get a psychological eval?

This coming from the person who believes he saw god AND the devil in the flesh. This from the person who poses as a mouthpiece for god by "discovering" that a mountain in utah is a seer stone.

This from someone who needs help. Poser? You are the definition of poser.
