Clearly. The way he kept saying he didn't want to be up there gave it all away. None of the leaders wanted him to sit down and rest. Didn't you know that's why nobody came to hold him up?
Not sure what you're getting at, but you ought to be getting at a dictionary because 'exploitation' isn't a concept you seem to be familiar with.
Odd, since many of the faith-building stories in the LDS tradition feature exploitation of the afflicted in order to bolster the faith of LDS masses.
